The girls are doing great in school; they do dance on Mondays and C has keyboard on Thursdays. Both activities are at school, so I just pick up later in the day. This is also handy so D can grab them on his way home!
My apprenticeship is getting busy! We have two mamas at 40 weeks right now, and another at 38 weeks. Two are primips, one is a G2 P1. I actually just got a "heads-up" call that the one may be starting labor now...we'll see how the night goes! We're expecting thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow, which seems to also bring labor...
What else? I'm at 14 weeks, 5 days with Baby4, feeling absolutely great, if not a touch tired. My belly is growing more obvious by the day.
Just got news from my mom that one of my best childhood friends is expecting her first - and second! - around the same time as Baby4 is joining us. I'm thrilled for S and D, and can't wait to hear more.
Baby L is as active and non-sleepy as ever. He loves activity and being carried around. He actually shows excitement when I pull out my carriers these days :)
There's the news; I'm off to bed in case this does turn into a late-night labor call. Zzzzzzzzzz.
I'll leave you with pics of L from yesterday. He's goofy - kept telling me, "more, more" whenever I tried to stop taking pictures!

Ooh, I missed that you had started apprenticing! (I haven't had much internet access for the last 5 months.) I'm soooo jealous.
No one around these parts is becoming a midwife with the current situation: regulated midwifery with clinical requirements that can't be fulfilled in Sask. Even if one could afford the distance course from MCU (which seems to pass muster for those doing the hiring here; they give student loans for it in Alberta, even) I'd have to move to Texas for the clinical. Students have to have insurance to get their clinical experience here, but the health regions won't give them insurance. So instead of doing what I want to do, I'm writing a PhD about the midwifery mess here. Not at all satisfying, but that's how it is.
(In another interesting turn of events, even fully qualified midwives have to earn hospital privileges here first before they're allowed to attend homebirths. Only one midwife has been hired, and no one has been covering homebirths since the spring.)
So have fabulous births and learn lots and let those of us who can't do what you're doing live vicariously through you!
How many births have you attended (not just as an apprentice, but in your lifetime)?
So good to see an update! And exciting about your apprenticeship! And even more exciting about Baby4!!!! AND Baby L is adorable!!!!!!!!!
So nice to hear about all these lovely activities and pregnancy states etc.! :) great pics. L has exactly the same set of teeth and teeth-in-progress as M, LOL!!!
Glad you're doing well! And you're already that far along...wow...I still don't quite believe I'm pregnant (as in, I forget a lot of the time and then people ask me how I'm feeling, I have to think for a few seconds before I figure out what they mean! LOL) Although I am starting to feel a bit queasy/woozy now. And your L looks so old; like a boy now, not a baby.
