Doula update

I met with our potential doula yesterday. She is a very sweet woman, and I completely got a good vibe from her.

I'm all about that. Generally, I find the answers to standard questions like, "what made you want to become a doula?" completely useless. So, I didn't even bother to ask them. Really, if you are trying to get someone to hire you, for any job, aren't you going to answer questions in a way that is going to portray you in the best light to make the person want to hire you, regardless of whether the answer is 100% accurate? (If you answer 'no' to that question, I'll be hooking you up to a polygraph at the end of the post.)

But, very rarely am I wrong about the vibes I get from people. I learned to trust that instinct when I was a manager (like, for real employed...not household management). I shook my head many a time and the staff that were hired, knowing that it would end badly. And, countless times, it did. I'm just good like that.

Luckily for me, I didn't get that at all with this woman. She seems like a genuinely nice person and I am looking forward to having this baby with her help and that of the midwives that have made this pregnancy so much more "normal", than medical. Yay!
