in other news, we went for a lunch cruise on the harbour today, in honour of the mother-in-law visiting and while the lunch was pretty average, sydney never fails to captivate me.
i came home to an email from my doula teacher offering a possible opportunity to attend a birth, as required by the course. i compete for that opportunity with a couple of others and i dont know how it will be decided but i'm sure the right opportunity will come at the right time and it's good to feel that i'm a teeny bit closer to doula-dom. in a coincidental twist the hospital where the baby will be born is the one hubby was treated at before his referral to the burns specialist, i haven't been there in twenty years and now it pops up twice in a week.
so many things in life seem to be circular, dont they?
Wow. That was quite a week. The sort of week that you don't want recycled.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your other half convalesces much, much better than my smaller portion and that he does so quickly.
I also have my fingers crossed for you crossing the next hurdle on the way to doula dom (which is a wonderful phrase, thank you.).
hi there EC!
ReplyDeletethe other half is really a very good patient with an incredible mind over matter approach. i cant let you think he is perfect though, he gets a little snappy :)
it seems to be healing quite nicely and he will see the doc again on wed.
Exciting good and exciting bad... all in one week. I hope everything is exciting good for you next week.
ReplyDeletethank you , bob!!! and right back to you ♥
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the burns, what a shocking thing to happen. But good news about attending the birth. Quite a week indeed.
ReplyDeletehi nick!
ReplyDeletei havent attended the birth yet, met the parents so they could decide if they want me there....it seemed to be a yes :)
and just the opportunity to meet them and watch an experienced doula in action makes it feel like i'm really doing something
Things seem to be getting a little more accelerated.
ReplyDeleteI just hope and pray it is a runaway train of good things. Sorry about the "imagery" it's the best I can do.
Holy crap, Kyles. Hope the healing is going well.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me while I stop whining about anything!
Can't wait until you are a fully-fledged doula. I would totally pick you to be there if I could, like, go back in time and stuff.
megan, you wouldnt believe how quickly and how well it has healed! theres just a few patches of raw-ish skin left.
ReplyDeleteand thanks! i hope there are a few people who pick me!
