Doula Class and Consultation (9w3d)

Saturday, Jason and I headed to Baton Rouge to meet with René and attend her class at Destination Maternity. The meeting with her went very well and I really like her. I trust in her expertise and think she would be an amazing addition to our birthing.

I hate two things, though. Her cost ($650) and the fact that she's in Baton Rouge. And I do wish she attended moms at home before heading to the hospital.

We still have time to decide, though, and I'm hoping that perhaps I'll meet someone tomorrow night at the screening of The Business of Being Born. It promises to be an exceptional meeting and I'm looking forward to hearing from the speakers as well.

We went to the Rio parade on Saturday night after we got home from BR. It was a blast. And we're looking forward to this weekend as well. It's the last year in Momma Flossie's house for Mardi Gras so we're making the most of it. Jen and I are cooking a variety of finger foods (my favorites!) and Ryan's making a gumbo. Hopefully Aunt Dani won't have to worry about too much else with regard to food.

Am feeling fine. Still tired and less nauseous ... I'll take it!
