Week 37

We hired a Doula! Her name is Julie, and she's the best! It was funny how we found her. First off, a Doula is a women caregiver. They support you through the birthing process. Kind of like a coach at a sports event. I want to go natural (if possible) and the benefits of having a Doula as support can sometimes lessen the chances of medical intervention. Greg is confident and happy in the decision. I wanted to get one, but the whole interviewing and meeting one I liked seemed like to much work, especially since I'm due so soon. Not to mention they can be expensive. It just so happened Julie ended up teaching our Infant CPR class a few weeks ago. She was great, and a Doula! She's knowledgeable, sweet, and fits our personalities. Another wonderful thing, is that she will come to me. So if Greg's out of town or working she will come to the house and help me. I think this is a huge relief for Greg since he works so far away.
