So I am a little nervous I have to admit

 I wrote about wanting to become a doula a few posts ago. I am still waiting on tax refund to come in so I can pay for the classes in full and get started right away with all the books and worksheets and everything I need, and taxes should be in next week or shortly after then. I am excited, but again I am also nervous! Why I am more nervous is because a potential client has fallen into my lap... I have agreed to meet with her and her mom (who will be her coach-so sweet!!) and see if this is going to be a good match. This I will do for free as it benefits me greatly- I need two births to complete doula class- as well as some other factors (and a pay it forward from finding my best friend a free doula when she really needed it, even if she didn't use the doula I found her I still found a doula willing to go in for free and short notice). So here I am about to begin, no shit, my doula journey...if this is a good match that is. I mean we still have to meet and talk and see what she exactly is looking for and from that point on I can cram and cram to prepare my doula self for the birth of her first child. I cannot believe this has fallen in my lap so easily and if we are a match I cannot believe how incrediably blessed I would be to tend to a woman during her first birth, first child, memories she will hold dearly for the rest of her life!! I get to be there helping, tending, caring, and nurturing her for the biggest life changing event of her life.... how lucky can  be for this?
 I have this doubt voice in the back of my head saying what if I fail her and ruin her birth? But I KNOW I cannot do that...I will not let myself do that. I will prepare for the birth, I will be ready to be the doula she wants, I will make her birth the best I possible can....so stop talking doubt voice...totally not welcome!!

 so first step is meeting mom, hopefully soon, next step is cramming for birth if we are a match :-) boy am I excited!!!
