Im gonna be a doula!!!

I did it, I decided what I want to do. After working so closely with my own doula, it's really made me see that being a doula is perfect for me. Originally I wanted to be a midwife but this is so much better. I dont have to go through years and years of schooling (which is damn near impossible with 3 kids) yet I still get to be part of the woman's pregnancy and delivery.

Not only is the pay REALLY GOOD, but it's a very rewarding field to be in. Just knowing that I would be helping other women ebarking on parenthood, really makes me smile inside.

Step one is to do the training workshop. It's a 3 days workshop so I need to pay for a hotel too but that's ok. I wanna do that before the baby comes because it will be VERY hard to get away once he's born and im breastfeeding. After that I work towards certification by reading a lot of required books and attending births.

IM SO EXCITED!!!!! Once i'm certified i'll be able to add "C.D" behind my name (same as doctors who have M.D behind theirs". WOOOHOO
