Aug 6
So many chores, only one day to get them done! Actually I like Saturdays for this very reason now....it's the day to get as much stuff done as possible.
Today, we planned on going to the Andaluz potluck in the late afternoon, so we had to get chores done, completed. I think we did wonderfully.
I wasn't sure if Eli was going to come with Martyn and I to the potluck, since he was pretty overwhelmed by all the people before. But it was out doors this time, so I figured that might help him some. He decided to come with us, which I was really glad for. I had really been looking forward to the potluck/bbq and seeing my midwives and the apprentices and talking to them again....and of course showing off my boy, and getting to make baby eyes at all the other babies of various ages and sizes....there were quite a few REALLY little, brand new babies there, which was pretty fun.
I had a good chat with Nicole, one of my midwives' apprentices, about becoming a midwife myself. She informed me that at the midwife college in a few weeks, they were having a workshop called "so you think you want to become a midwife"....I thought that was highly appropriately titled and it made me chuckle a bit. But I'm going to attend it. I had told her, I'm kind of at a point right now where I want to move forward, but I don't know what to do or how to move forward with the whole notion. I think this will be a good starting place for me. I can even bring Martyn, though I think I may try to find a sitter because I'll get more out of the whole thing if I'm not concerned about caring for him all day.
It's exciting though. It feels to me like I'm finally going to be doing something with this crazy notion to become a midwife.
