Getting Started

Ok, so I am gonna give it a try on this blogging thing....in it I have decided to write about my thoughts and feelings concerning my journey in midwifery. I can probably go on and on about my journey thus far, but I think it would be easier if I just start from now and maybe eventually there will be blogs of how I got here. I have recently been given the administrator position at Edenway Midwifery at the The Cleburne Birthing Center which has been a big job. In order to do this position well, I really just needed to start over. So I have been "getting started" on this new venture for a little over 6 months and this journey has been nothing short of amazing. I really feel that God brought me here and has blessed me so much in this process. Back in May when I have very little clientel and had no idea if new clients were gonna come...they did. As soon as I started at the BC , I was receiving on average, a client a week. I have been so privileged in taking care of many women , all very special to me in their own very unique way! I love that I have been called to a place and a profession where I can love and care for women in of the most important times in their life. Yes, many can say it's just pregnancy and who would think of it as special, but in my world, it is an exciting, beautiful time when God has given a woman the responsibility of carrying and raising another life! Ok, so my idea of pregnancy is slightly romanticized and fluffed...(although I know about mood swings, hormone surges, gaining weight, exhaustion, and the list goes on..) but in my confessions, one would see why I see and feel about it the way I do. Being a midwife is special but there is more to it than catching a baby, and I hope to capture that here in my Confessions of a Midwife!
