Once upon a time......

there was a dino named Kathasaurus. She wandered through Austin looking for a midwife to help her & her baby daddy Bustin have a baby dino of their very own.
Our dino interviewed three midwives.......

The first midwife was really cool. She even laughed at Kathasaurus's sometimes (ok, most times) "off jokes" but was just a smidge TOO hippy dippy.

The second midwife wasn't cool at all. She didn't laugh at ANY o Kathasaurus's jokes. She wanted our dino to eat only whole foods and do prenatal yoga a couple times a week and go swimming and hiking once a week too.....not THIS dino! She was WAY TOO hippy dippy.

The third midwife was nice and highly educated (Stanford for Biology, UT Austin for Latin Studies, RN at John Hopkins, AND a masters in midwifery from Emory). She was born & raised a Bay Area gurl and even laughed at our dino's slightly wrong jokes. Her assistant was an LA gurl and very cool as well. She told our dino she only has to walk her dogs twice as much and eat semi-healthy but not go too overboard or crazy. She was just the right amount o hippy mixed with the right amount o reality. She was JUST right!

And HERE we go......

A baby blog.....really? You might be asking yourself, why is it *I* think our lives are SOOO important and/or interesting that I need to publish them on the world wide web for all the peoples to read??????

Well basically I'm tired of sounding like a broken record and retelling the same stories on each phone call AND well I keep thinking about emailing yous, our "extended family", but I don't want to fill your inboxes with "you'll never believe what Bustin said today!" quotes and "growing a Pterodactyl is wacky" stories. Instead, you can just click on to this fancy doodle blog thingy and check in on our silly lives in TX from the comfort of your very own home or office.
All our love while preggers,
kathasaurus & Bustin
