deja vu

What have I just done?

I called Casa to ask them about a clinical placement in May. I was told that I likely would NOT get 7 births in two weeks, maybe in three weeks. I really didn't want to be gone for more than 2 weeks, and 4 weeks seems absolutely unbearable especially since Charlotte is still so young :-/ I wish I could take her with me.

You never cease to amaze me. You are such an incredible woman, and you balance so much. I'm trying hard to be like you (and get my damn doula career off the ground, and still meet the needs of my family) and I think of you often. I hope Casa works out, with some fee reductions too, and I SO SO SO SO WISH there was something I could do about Charlotte. Oh, if only she could go with you! It's heartbreaking to consider being away from her, I know. Hard on all of you.

I'll be thinking of you, waiting for news. I know you will do this, I know you will be a midwife.

Thank you, that's very sweet.

I'm absolutely terrified about leaving everyone again. I gave Julia a heads-up tonight and she looked very upset. She was 3.5 when I went away the first time, Charlotte will not even be 2 years old when I'm gone. It makes me feel physically ill to leave her - I honestly don't know if I can :-/

I was wondering how you were doing...
I'm so excited for you Janice... it's all going to come together.
In the end you're going to work it all out, graduate, do the exams, get that registry number... and we will throw a huge ass party... at which you will shake your ass and holla 'BOO YEAH.'

I need to read this over and over again to remind myself that I CAN and WILL do this. It's so hard to keep moving forward sometimes. And yes, a big ass party is MUST!!

DO you think you will go to the meeting this month....?
I'm debating... it would be nice to see some live midwives....

I would really like to meet Jessica and check out the office and clinic in S'toon. Are you going to Penny Simkin on the 14th?

Yes, you should go.
I saw the clinic in prenatals, but they have spiced them up since then I am sure.

My client is due on the 13th... so.... no, unless she's had a baby.... (speaking of which.... I'm ready to kill an u/s tech....)

Are you?
I would have really have liked to... but childcare is an issue... especially someone to watch the breastfeeding crawler.
Probably could have swung it if the client had a different edd.... but really I need to pick away at these births........

OH MAN.... its started....
