Long time no talk!

Hello again!

I am guilty of starting something and not finishing it. Imagine that?!? Life has surely gotten in the way of my attempt at blogging and putting myself out there!

I still Doula and have undying passion for birth!

Over the last year and a half I have become an aunt to my three perfect, favorite littles! A niece and 2 nephews! I am super lucky to have sister-in-laws who put up with me and my addiction! I was able to witness 2 of the 3 births! The one I missed took place out of state and I sadly, I don't see them often, but see lot and lots of pictures!

Being an aunt is the bees knees!!

 

Of course, when I thought things could not get ANY better, I too, become a mother in November 2009! I now have 3 1/2 month old twin boys! It was almost a 10 year journey for me to become someones mother, but I am glad I stuck with it. Of course, my boys are super cute lady killers, super smart and can melt the heart of anyone! Don't get me started on daddy. Talk about LOVE! The man is beside himself in love withhis sons! I could not be prouder (is that a word?).

I have to say, they will nicely fit into the cousin trio that began the year before they were born! It will be interesting to sit around with my 3 brothers watching our children run around. ALL of which are a matter of months apart! YIKES! 5 kids all in the span of 14 months! WOW. We created a gang....

Through all of the crazy, I did manage to take a few clients and develop some wonderful relationships in Doula Land. I saw some awesome birth and I continue that momentum almost every month with someone new. I have had a bunch of memorable births to say the least!

Amy, for example. WOW. VBAC AFTER 2 c-sections!

She is now on the path to be a Doula herself!

I also met Katrina! Wonderful woman! Her husband was deployed for the birth of this little man and it was an emotional day for everyone. If I remeber correctly, he was on the phone as the baby was born!

We met up last week and at 7 months old, her boy is a ball of energy and wonder! He such a little lover too!

I could go on an on about the great births and great people I have come accross! I will eventually blog about them and you will hopefully see WHY I have the best job in the world!

I am also attending school to receive my RN! Its been a slow road, but I imagine I will finish very soon and make somthing of it! I say I am on the 15 year plan.... I still have that need and desire for midwifery! I know the door will be opened at the right time!

I have to say, in the world of birth and education, I am the luckiest girl alive to have such opportunity. Yes, opportunity provided by a mass of student loans with a dash of pell grant, but hey, we all have passions! We gotta get there by any means possible! All in the pursuit of happiness!

I will work hard to catch up here as its been a crazy ride!
