5 de mayo

You know you're a parent when....you spend your 5 de mayo saturday night sitting at home watching your husband watch a soccer match and blogging. LOL Things have been insane for the three Das' lately, let me just tell you. I finished doula training, had a birth where the mom was in labor for six days that ended in me almost missing the birth (SO glad I didn't miss it!) Tragedy struck Aaron's family last week as his cousin went into labor that heartbreakingly resulted in a stillborn. She wasn't my client but I was there for a lot of her labor, just not the emergency C-section. I spent days mourning the loss and trying to recover. At the same time, one day after little Jude went to be with Jesus, we had to move out of our first home together which is difficult in and of itself. Sheesh. NOW I'm sitting here waiting for another mama client to have her baby. Poor thing has been in labor for 2 days now. But I'm confident it'll be any hour now and I couldn't be more ready for another doula experience. I'm loving it! Up ahead we will have to move again as we are in, shall we say, "temporary housing" and I have that just looming over me. I was unpacking our things thinking to myself "what's the point, we'll just pack them up again in 6-8 weeks." Despite the craziness and constant change in our life I have ZERO to complain about. My son is healthy and happy, I love Aaron more than ever (I hope he feels the same) ;) and we are employed, fed, housed, and have MORE than enough of everything. Those are the things that matter so I'm focusing on my blessings instead of the craziness spinning all around. Keep in touch with us friends and please keep Aaron's family in your hearts and prayers as they continue to grieve the loss of their son.
