Still got it :)

I had the pleasure and honour of attending the birth of a beautiful baby girl this afternoon :) The mama had a 3 hour labour once things got going and she did so amazing! I was a little nervous as this is the first doula birth I've done since Indigo was born 8 months ago and I was worrying that I had lost my touch. Of course I was worrying needlessly and all went smoothly.

I did not do so well in the eating department today...forgot to eat breakfast and then got called to the birth at 2pm so I ate a protein bar and a Lunchables turkey/cheese/cracker thing from a convenience store just to get some food into me so I wouldn't crap out at the birth. After the birth I ate a Vel bar (that sesame/nut/fruit bar) and some dried apricots. On my way home I got starving, of course, and ended up stopping at A&W for a teen burger. Oh ya, good choice there huh *roll eyes*. My justification was/is that I had not eaten enough calories that day so I was making up for them in one small burger lol Oh well. Tomorrow is another day!
