Bring on the New Year

Well, this Christmas was a little tough for me. My oldest daughter went to spend Christmas with her father for the first time. So, decorating, family photos, and Christmas morning without her were all pretty tough. I still had my 3 youngest with me, so the chaos was still in full swing, but not having her here to celebrate Santa's return was a sombering experience for us all. She returned on the 26 with gifts from away, and it made me happy to know that she had a good time with her other family.

On my doula life, I am currently waiting for two wonderful little babe's to enter this world. My biggest fear as a doula - other then completely missing a birth- is to have 2 women call me at the same time! Since both due dates have passed with no baby, I am praying to the birth gods to give me at least 12 hours between! I love being busy in my work, but this may be a lesson to book clients a little further apart ;p

However, as I sit preparing for the New Year, I am looking forward to my meet the doula night in March, and all the posibility's this new career will bring. Remember, if you are preggers, or know of someone who is, give me a shout!
