I'm so jealous! That you are going to a midwife conference, not that you are going to Denmark lol. I'm sure it would be cool but I would be scared to be that far away lol

I'm very excited to go to Denmark but most excited to go to the midwifery conference. I probably would be just as excited if it was held Missouri.

Oh my goodness I just called MT to reserve my seat, I knew I would get the 10% discount because I'm a subscriber but I got an additional 20% for the student discount!!! I didn't think I would qualify for it because I'm not a full-time student. So I got 30% discount and renewed for 2yrs instead of 1yr since I got the additional student discount for a total of $539 (conference + 2yr subscription)!! Praise God!
