Today, while at my daily visit to Peet's with Liz, I stumbled upon a great family that shared similar beliefs as me and my family. Trisha, the mom, was wearing her 18 month old son Ry-Ry. Her two other boys, 3 and 5, were being well behaved with their dad Adam in the patio area. Within a few minutes of conversation Adam told me and Liz that their youngest child was a successfully planned home-birth. This obviously got our interest to ask more questions of the two. Trisha also explained that her first child was born via cesarean section after a domino of (somewhat) unnecessary medical interventions. We spoke for about a half hour learning that she also cloth diapered her children, home schooled them and participated in the Holistic Moms Network. It sparked many questions for Liz, who is pationate about becoming a midwife herself. I am eager to find out more information about the HMN and what things I may be able to take back to our smaller OMG group.
You just never know who you will meet at any given moment, and how those particular people may affect your life.
