And Back Again……

I sat here on this couch today watching incredible amounts of weather come in. Snow, rain, hail and of course, sun. Holy Moly is all I can say. Whew. I’m back (kinda) and so glad of it.

After two days of intensive education workshops surrounded by midwives and sheer crazy amounts of information, I was called to a homebirth. Kaya made me a sweet pasta dinner and surprised us all with a rich and delectably smooth chocolate mousse.

I drove through the night to the sweet, small and cozy home. The room was beautiful and all was quiet. My apprentice and I settled in to crochet. I am slowly working on a baby blanket. (I don’t have a baby for it yet, though!) I am using up all the colors left over from my bigger blanket made last month.

Less than an hour later,  I was slammed with waves and waves of horrendous nausea – and found myself praying to the poor client’s only toilet! This is where I will stop the details of this most violent GI flu I have ever had! I made it home after calling in Madrona to take over the birth. It definitely beat my “runner bean incident.” Hands down – a million times worse!

My husband was my heavenly angel. He took such good care of me, babied and loved me to absolute death.  Oh my god. Seriously. I am deeply in love, over and over, again and again! Lucky to be me, feel almost guilty.

And now….. I am on-call straight until March. Here we go! Calling all little babies – we are ready!!
