Babies of the North
March is finally here, it's nice to see the sun shinning on the blanket of white snow covering Rankin Inlet. I love being a midwife, it is rewarding, fun and always keeps you on your toes. We went to a couple beautiful births this week. It is so nice when the woman in labour knows and trusts those giving her support and care. A first time mom was so nerveous before labour, all the midwives were a bit worried how she would manage. She came in for several extra hours to learn about labour ... read more

Adventures in the North
Hello lovely people!

I've had the most inspiring weekend. Friday I was honored to do my first official "catch" as a midwife. A beautiful Inuit baby boy was born in water in our birthing pool. Most women labour very quickly here and the woman only pushed about three times. Okay, I'll only give more details to those who ask. The afternoon was a Inuit Heritage trip to the "elders cabin" about 15 KM outside of Rankin. All the interested staff from the health centre enjoyed a BBQ, dice ga... read more

occupational hazard
Last friday I was priviledged to deliver a baby boy. It was amazing, the head began emerging quickly as I rushed to put my gloves on. The light of the setting sun was making the room glow a warm orange. As the bright firey red sun set, a son was born. Three older sister's gained a brother this lovely day. An hour later as the newborn assesment took place the mother inquired if his penis was normal. The Urethra (aka the pee hole) was visible as the foreskin is a bit drawn back naturally ... read more

metamorphopsia
Everyone stops subscribing to everyday life and enters the unknown when they reach the Black Rock Desert. Arriving early I saw the city build until the streets where defined and the citizens where fully frolicking in the dusty flats in Northern Nevada. Faced with the extremes throughout the week, the blazing sun melting your scant costumes off, the transition to night always is to short, and then it is dark and cool with blinking neon lights all around you. Euphoria comes right after you ... read more
