Well, can you believe it's March already? I certainly can't and the weather isn't co-operating either! It's only the 7th and I have attended 4 babies since the first. Last week was very difficult for me as well, more so because one of my April mommies lost her baby. Stillbirths are brutual, my heart breaks for my clients whom were so looking forward to bringing this baby home. I still haven't really processed what I need to, the activity of the other births have kept me somewhat sane and for that I'm glad...
On a lighter note...Monica is now officially certified through DONA International. I couldn't be prouder of her! She is definitely on her way! Chantelle also completed her birth doula training, although was very disappointed that 2 of the births she was scheduled to attend with me as a mentor delivered on the weekend she was away - on the SAME day, within hours of each other. I'll have to find more for her, which shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I've got two more birth to go for March, then hopefully I'll get a bit of a break as I only have 2 scheduled for April now. I need to paint my basement anyways! Busy, busy, busy!
Well, I should be off to bed, even though most people are waking up! Attended a very speedy delivery tonight and I couldn't be prouder of my mom and dad. They were AWESOME!
