(I am post-dating this post so when you read this, I am already in training!)
Today, I start a class that will forever change my life. I start a new journey to be who I want to be professionally. From 8:30am until 6pm today, I will be learning all about becoming a Childbirth Educator. Because I am an RN, I will be able to fast-track this process too so that is even more exciting.
I am so excited and nervous about starting the training. I am excited about what the future is going to bring for me. I am excited to be learning new things (I LOVE to learn). I am excited because I am finally doing something that will truly make me happy professionally. I am nervous to be in a new environment around people I don’t know. I am nervous about shifting my brain from a medicinal perspective to something completely different. I am not a nurse when I am a CBE or doula. I am a Childbirth Educator or doula only. I will have to wear multiple hats… which I am totally capable of, but it will be different and new.
Wish me luck and pray for me. This will be a rough few days (I go through Thursday) for me. I am going to be away from my babies for the first time in a long time (with Johnny) and the first time ever (with Joley). I have grown so used to being a mom first that this will be a hard thing for me to do. I will let you know how it goes.

Sounds wonderful! I am excited for you. I’d love to be a doula. The birthing process is so amazing. Can you feel any closer to God in those moments?
