This past month has felt a little on the hectic side. At the end of October I began the last class needed as a pre-req for midwifery school- a course I had happened to take years and years ago that had been disrupted by an illness. My resulting C in the class wasn't adequate so I had to take it once again. Thinking it would merely be review was an understatement and the need to "review" an entire textbook on Anatomy and Physiology, learn it all, take two midterms and a final, all via a distance course in the span of a short time, was a little overwhelming. Wait, I lie- it was utterly stressful.
A little more than a week into November saw a beautiful birth followed by a trip to Portland that next week- an important trip! My interview for midwifery school. I would like to say that it went well, but it's so hard to tell. What makes it even harder was that the following day, at a meet and greet, I met other women who were applying and I must say that the competition is harsh!
I have had my regular school classes going on, as well, in addition to kids and work. Needless to say, I am happy November is over and we are well into December! This past week I finished A&P and have ordered my transcripts (they have to be received by 12/31), finishing the class with a B+. Not too shabby considering I did it in about five weeks! Now it's a waiting game until sometime next month, to find out how much they like me...
In the meantime, I have an article coming out in March in the spring Midwifery Today issue. It's about my thirteen year breastfeeding journey... I am incredibly excited. I also am available for births from now through March... I can see nothing better than starting the new year with welcoming some new lives into this world and hopefully receiving news that I will be able to begin my path into midwifery later that year!
