I go back for my 6 week visit with the midwife appointment. I have playing with the idea of getting her a dogwood to plant either at the birthing center or her house. I wanted a pink one since the last baby was a girl. Then I had the idea of looking up the birth flower and or tree for May 5th. I found this site "Birth Tree". For Raeleigh's birthdate the tree is a Poplar.
In my back yard is a beautiful Tulip Poplar. For those who don't know you can take a stick form one and stick it in the ground and it grows like crazy! They are great shade trees. So now my plan is to get 3-4 brances from my tree, wrap in paper towels with water, tie with a bag and put pretty pink paper around the bag with a bow. This way she can plant one or 2 at the BC and some at home if she likes. And it came from a tree that the kids play on! (great for climbing!)

I'm excited about the connection and easy of it!!
Plus I'm baking a basket of muffins for the staff!

(pretend it's green) She does the gardening around the birthing center! That's what she was doing while I was in labor with #3.
