The New Quests of The Turetzky Family

For Halloween weekend we went to Colorado for a wedding of one of Darren's cousins. The wedding was a costume party, so it gave us an excuse to dress up! I went as Little Bo Peep and Lila was my little sheep (the cutest sheep ever, I might add!). Before the wedding we went over to one of Darren's aunt and uncle's farm. Lila LOVED seeing all the animals. I wish we would've taken more pictures there, but we only took a couple. Some of the other pictures include Darren's brother Kyle and his fiancee Whitney, who were dressed as a sailor and a nurse (inspired by the famous kiss picture).

This picture was taken at an OB/GYN women's center in Provo. I found this on an acquaintances blog and wanted to briefly put in my two cents on the matter.

The facts are out there (see gentlebirth.org)--birth outside of the hospital is safer than birth at the hospital (at least for the average low-risk pregnancy). Maybe you think I'm a little biased, but it's true! I am so glad I did not have to deal with all the negativity at the hospital and I was able to have the beautiful birth experience that I desired. I just hope that anyone I know who at some point wants to try a natural birth at the hospital does not go to the doctors office pictured above! For anyone out there who is interested in natural birth (especially outside of a hospital), feel free to get in touch with me and I will gladly share my experience. You can also check out my post...
