valancystirlingSo I'm sure the cookies are helping the yeast situation. Sometimes I get to a point where I just don't give a fuck anymore and do stupid reckless things like eat cookies.
Anyway.
My living room is a series of piles. Piles of clean baby clothes, dirty baby clothes, baby blankets, diapers, wipes, diaper covers. And then there's the bag of dirty diapers and the blanket Topaz is currently playing on. So that's the entire floor. We have GOT to get some organization.
So I'm starting to think more and more about that whole crazy idea of one day becoming a midwife. I'm motivated largely by the fact that Jake doesn't think I would be very good at it. And maybe he's right, that I'm really not the science-y type, but whatever. It's a subject I can get all worked up over, and I have to confess that I seriously enjoy reading midwife manuals. It's a bit disturbing to me, for so many reasons, not the least of which being that I never was the slightest bit interested in babies until I had my own.
Of course, this isn't something I would seriously consider for several years, until the youngest of the litter is in school. But I could do classes part time at some point and see if I am seriously interested. I really don't know the first thing about the process by which one becomes a midwife.
Anyway, just thinking about it. In other news, Jake will be home soon and I have no idea what to do for dinner.

I bought it, but I think I actually got more info from reading the forums (http://www.midwiferytoday.com/forums/) and the websites for the ACMN and MEAC.
