Hello!

Our blog has been neglected of late. That's one of the hazards when your organisation is completely volunteer-run, and those volunteers are Doulas, Moms, or working full-time in gainful employment! Let me, on behalf of all of the Birth Vine team (and MACFE also) apologise, dear reader, for this.

I am working towards ideas to help keep this blog active and going, which involves recruiting more people to submit their thoughts. If you have ideas or suggestions, or an article or poem you'd like to submit, please do- you can post a comment on this blog post, or send it to birthvine@gmail.com. Any and all comments left on our blog ARE read.

We're finding we have a very low (IE, almost nothing) response to our Wisdom Question.  Don't be afraid to share it with us! If you're worried about privacy, you can E-mail it to us instead of posting a comment, and your response will be posted without your name.

The Birth Vine has been an important part of the Manitoba Birthing Community since its inception, and we would very much like it continue that way, but we do need input from our readers!

Sincerely,
The Birth Vine Team

Announcements

Another popular feature of the Print Edition of "The Birth Vine" was our announcements page- birth announcements, birthday announcements, Thank-you's to Doulas, midwives, etc. ...

So here is our very first Blog "Announcements" page :)

Happy First Birthday, Jeremy! I can't believe a whole year has gone by!!! We love you so very much!

Love, mommy, daddy and Zach
