My work as a Doula

So I hadn't mentioned it on here before, but I work as a Doula, as well as go to school full time to become an RN, and eventually a midwife. A Doula is a childbirth assistant, someone who is there to support a mother who is in labor and after. We provide mental, emotional, and physical support for the Laboring Mothers.
I have a Doula client now, who is about to give birth anyday.
I have my bag of tricks packed by the front door, waiting. The little gifts wrapped for the pregnant mama. And childcare set up for my Babby, in case my husband isn't home while I am gone.
I am excited about this birth in particular, because the pregnant mama and I have known each other for a long time, I can't wait to meet the new addition to her family. The baby's sex is a surprise. So that is always exciting!
So farewell. Hopefully next time I write in here, it will be about the birth (we are all anxious at this point)
Goodnight.
