Six years ago today I barely made it home from this location when labor kicked in to high gear! 🥰 Quite the memories! She's a pretty happy birthday girl...and we're all struggling a bit to adjust to the cold and snowy weather after leaving 85' Thailand two weeks ago!

Some excellent thoughts...if your midwife is wise and competent, you will not be staying at home in a high risk situation!

Folks, lets use some common sense when commenting on some of my posts. Everyone KNOWS that a homebirth midwife is NOT going to keep trying to take care of a client who has, pre-E, insulin dependent GD, IUGR babies, transverse lie, placenta previa, clients with heart disease...... the list goes on. These clients get risked out of the homebirth midwives practice and they then become PATIENTS of OB's. They NEED higher up care! So when you say, I WOULD OF DIED OR MY BABY WOULD OF DIED, and then you tell me about your previa or your high BP or fill-in-the-blank, you NEVER would of been a candidate for homebirth! FURTHERMORE, IF you get to the part of labor and your baby starts showing signs of fetal distress, OR your BP is going up OR you get a fever OR you just need pain relief, YOU are going to be transferred to the hospital BEFORE it becomes a crisis. OK?? OK! Carry on. Rant over :)

Visiting a paper umbrella making factory, beautiful gardens, coffee shops with bamboo play places for the children, cycle rides to IGo with daddy, last trips to the Mae Hia market...and a sweet farewell as we bid Thailand goodbye and head home!

I have no idea where to start or stop: our five weeks in Thailand have felt like such a gift! New friends, food, experiences, languages, sights, sounds...such an incredible opportunity for our children to step out of thier "normal " and learn more about how life is for others in different places. We've been blessed to make new friends, and to have this chance to do this together.

Joel ties up his teaching at IGo on Friday, and we start the long trek home on Saturday (how do you leave one country at 11:30am on one day, and arrive back in the US by 9pm on that same date?!?). We are feeling a bit sad about saying goodbye, but are mostly just grateful. 🙂

Pictures include: elephant rides (Shekinah's dream come true!), doing school at coffee shops, field trips such as the ancient city moat & walls and a silk factory, learning to play Futsal at a children's home some of Joel's students, a local park, view of the city from a mountain, the "sticky waterfalls " where you can climb the wet waterfalls as your feet grip the rough limestone, and more!

Now y'all can see the big reason that this is off call this fall! We have been so privileged to spend some time in beautiful as a family. 🥰 After a 17 hrs flight + another flight and travel time, we arrived a week ago today, and its been a treasured experience. Attending a conference and connecting with friends were the focus points for the first week, and we had some rich connections. We also tried new foods, attempted to get around on our own, are learning how to drive on the opposite side of the road, and we're making good memories. For those wait on replies, I will be in touch soon!
