May 5

Today is the International Day of the Midwife. And our Governor has now signed a resolution making this day Idaho Midwives' Day. I can now say "I am a midwife." I got together with another local midwife and we planned a picnic for local supporters of midwives. We had a wonderful turnout. As introductions were made, I was amazed by the number of midwives represented by all the ladies at our picnic. The sun was shining; the weather was gorgeous. There were a number of round, jolly babies, along with numerous children playing on the playground, chasing balls, riding trikes, etc. What a beautiful blessing!
