The one thing that was on the list that we did not accomplish this week was the planned meeting with the doula. Her partner called about 20 minutes before she was due to arrive saying that she was at a birth and had to reschedule. Normally I might have been a bit ticked off due to having gone through the waking-Warren-early-on-a-weekend ritual for nothing, but the whole point of a doula is she is someone who will drop absolutely everything to be with you while you're giving birth, whenever that happens to be. This makes it hard to be upset at last minute cancellations when attending a birth is the excuse, as I am sure hoping she drops everything the minute I call her to say I'm in labor. The closer I get to my due date, the more having someone with a clue who will stay with us through shift changes seems like a wise idea.
Productive Weekend
