Hi! I'm Caitlin, wife of James and mama of Maxwell. I am a proud USCG wife, former ballerina, photographer, and retail manager. Being a working mom isn't easy, and this blog gets {seriously} neglected now and then {most of the time}, but I keep up with it when I can.

New Plan!
So, James and I may be looking into another option for where to have our baby. I looked into the birthing center at Mainland Hospital and the C-Section rate for that hospital is a bit high. I'm going to have to look into it more to see if that's just the regular labor and delivery ward or if that is the rate for the birth center alone. We've found another birth center that is a freestanding birth center and is run by certified nurse midwives. I'm so excited! The only downside is that it's a little over an hour away in Wilmington, DE; which is not really a huge problem, but it would be a bit of a drive for pre-natal appointments. But the C-Section rate is only 4-7% as opposed to almost 40% at the hospital that the other birth center was in. That's a pretty big difference! I think we're going to go tour both of them, but I'm definitely leaning toward Wilmington.
