What am I Doula-ing?
I had no clue. I was happy being in the clouds, and there is nothing wrong with that. I just didn't know what it would be like to become a mother. Advice from friends and family that went over my head. Parenting books? Who had time to read those when I was introduced to Game of Thrones and The Big Bang Theory. I was distracted and happy about it. The one thing I knew for sure is that when I officially became a mother, I would feel it. I also know that everyone is different. Some feel a ways that others won't, whether from a different generation, or just a different mindset. I was OK with that. I came to motherhood with an open mind. I spent my third trimester bouncing on my birth ball in the evenings imagining all the cute outfits my little boy would wear. When I really had trouble sleeping I would go into his room and organize his little clothes over and over. Keep in mind, this task has not repeated itself after birth.
