I plan on adding a midwifery groups link list, a midwifery courses link list, a midwifery book list and a TON of articles! Plus more! That's the plan at least! We'll see how it goes!&lt;br /&gt;Now I don't want midwifery as my "living", I don't want any "job" as a "living".  My Maker is my living. Midwifery is something I love, and it would be a blessing to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt; me,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt; to help soon to be mommys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now! For the things I'm interested in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Natural/Traditional Midwifery.&lt;br /&gt;-Healthy Fertility&lt;br /&gt;-Natural Pregnancy Nutrition&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;-Pregnancy Support&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm wanting to take a 2 year Traditional Midwifery correspondence course sometime soon. Its only $4,000 or so, but I don't have that much in my pocket just now and I'm not willing to go into debt. I think I'll get the courses text books and study them awhile, then, when I have the resources, I'll pay for the course in full. The required books on the list were:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Family Centered Maternity Newborn Care." By Celeste R. Phillips&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Holistic Midwifery Vol. 1." By Anne Frye&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Varneys  Midwifery." By Helen Varneys&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have the "Varneys Midwifery", So I'm glad of that! But I'm anxious to get the other two! Plus more!! I've found so MANY Midwifery and Natural birth and Pregnancy books!  I just hope I will gradually get most all of them!! hehe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: I do not want to be running like crazy catching peoples babies. I want to get to know the people, I want to be a part of their pregnancy, I want to be there for them, I want them to have a pleasant, natural, positive pregnancy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5546939977953889954-3455274500155808969?l=ripe-avocados.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ripe-avocados.blogspot.com/feeds/3455274500155808969/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5546939977953889954&amp;postID=3455274500155808969' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5546939977953889954/posts/default/3455274500155808969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5546939977953889954/posts/default/3455274500155808969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ripe-avocados.blogspot.com/2009/05/news.html' title='News'/><author><name>Abigail Jenny</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04533441263115102078</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GDitUChOfaw/TmYtB-_DILI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/B8q2q93Z_as/s220/DressCeasar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546939977953889954.post-4859563744342217670</id><published>2008-06-11T08:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-17T17:03:29.938-07:00</updated><title type='text'>News</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I Support a Positive &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pregnancy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5546939977953889954-4859563744342217670?l=ripe-avocados.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ripe-avocados.blogspot.com/feeds/4859563744342217670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5546939977953889954&amp;postID=4859563744342217670' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5546939977953889954/posts/default/4859563744342217670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5546939977953889954/posts/default/4859563744342217670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ripe-avocados.blogspot.com/2008/06/birth-is-beautiful.html' title='News'/><author><name>Abigail Jenny</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04533441263115102078</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GDitUChOfaw/TmYtB-_DILI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/B8q2q93Z_as/s220/DressCeasar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546939977953889954.post-8065567385029459545</id><published>2007-02-05T13:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-05-17T17:11:05.853-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Weigh gain...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;
