Moving to Texas has really not been awesome for my certification. When I first started the process, Jonny had a different job - one that allowed him to take off work if he needed to watch the kids while I was at a birth. I had family close by that could help out if needed, as well. But I don't have any of that here. Now I have to work to find someone to watch my 3 young kids...and pay someone to do so.
I have another year and I've done almost everything for my certification. I just need to read a book, write an essay, get 2 references, put together a resource list, and attend 2 more qualifying births. Not too much...easier said than done, though...especially being in a new place that I'm not familiar with at all.
But I have to finish this. This is a passion of mine. I love talking pregnancy and birth. I love helping women achieve their goal. I love witnessing the miracle of birth. Now is the time for me to do this...I'm not nursing, I'm not pregnant, so now's the time.
So I'm on the hunt to find a few births to attend. Know anyone in the Fort Worth area who would like a doula?
