Butterfly Kisses

When Heather Ramsey, CNM (Certified Nurse Midwife) called me a few weeks ago with her news I didn't even believe it at first. She had given her 90 day notice to the University of Nebraska system and was teaming up with one of my personal favorite doctors to open a birth center here in my own city, Bellevue Nebraska. It seemed like a dream. Just a few months back I had been telling one of my doula clients and friends that it would be my biggest dream come true if Heather and this doctor went into business together.

I quickly checked my calendar and saw it was not indeed April Fools Day and the more I talked to her, the more I started to believe her! It was set to open sometime in 2011, if all went well, summer time! We talked for quite some time about various ideas and my excitement just grew and grew.

Over the next few weeks I became more and more excited and it was so difficult to quell it! I wanted to shout this wonderful news from the roof tops! I managed to somehow keep it under wraps until after I met with Heather again today.

We met to discuss many things, including bringing Brio Birth classes into her facility. We also talked about the variety of support groups that I can lead there as a counselor and birth professional as well as some really big plans for down the road as the business grows and grows. I left the meeting feeling like I was on the top of the world and am just so excited for the women and babies of Nebraska and Eastern Iowa. Finally we have a birth center of our own!!

Would you like a sneak peak of the new Birth Center's Website? It is still a work in progress but it has a great deal of basic information on it! http://bellevuebirthcenter.webs.com/
