I don't have a lot of time to update, but I just wanted to say that I was privileged to be at an intense and beautiful birth yesterday. Gorgeous Baby Girl was born after a relatively short labor, during daylight hours, in time for me to get home to nurse my own sweet baby, and conveniently with enough time to get a full night's sleep before showing up for the ACOS survey at work today. You can't ask for more in doula-land.

I'm still high from the love rush in that L&D room!

Thanks. Of course, you get to do this most days! But I love the doula role. I would have a harder time with the responsibilities of midwifery. Although, to put my hands on the baby and guide him/her out into the world... wow...
