In non-doula baby related activities, we went to our second childbirth education class last night. We practiced labor positions...
.... and watched another birth video
Next week - we get to tour the hospital!

Finally, Some Doula Action!
Monday we officially met with Michelle, a prospective doula that we had seen at "Meet the Doula" night at the infamous Jones Library in Amherst. She was really nice and had an awesome house on the Connecticut River. The other deciding factor for me was that she had compared having a baby to climbing a mountain, an analogy that I had blogged about! Obviously, she was meant to be our Doula. She is also a midwife, and even though we are only using her as a doula, that's really cool for us. At the end of the meeting, she felt Gaius' position - still head-down!

Be careful! Most so-called-Doulas are actually hippies who are looking for an excuse to get near you delicious placenta. Check her pockets for nutritional yeast before you deliver!
That labor position should be called "The Seventh Grade Spring Dance."
Why a doula? Just curious.
We are hiring a doula for many reasons, the most important being that it will decrease the amount of work I will have to do.

Paul: having a doula present will allow Brad to eat Cheetos and watch BSG during the delivery, looking over at Jen once in a while and mumbling, "You're doing great, sweetie."
