Jami Embarks on a New Career

So, where have I all these long non-posting days? Off to doula training classes, cramming my poor out-of-shape brain chock-full of birthy goodness. If you're not familiar with the term doula, allow me to sort of sum up: a birth doula serves a pregnant woman, and her partner, to inform them of all their choices in labor, delivery and immediately there after, help them choose what is right for them and trying her best to ensure they get the birth they want. It's not a midwife or nurse, no medical stuff here, just lots of research-based information, caring support and suggestions. I can't wait to start. I am now trained enough to go to births, though I still need to complete more classes to be certified. I think finding the first several clients will be the hardest to find "Hi, I've never done this, but how about letting me in to one of the most important events in your life?" Anyway, after several days of intense learning, my brain is beyond tired. So that's all I'm going to write tonight, but if you should find yourself in the family way, keep me in mind. . .
