Amber, Kim, Sorrell and I celebrated the 1 year milestone of Chico Doula Circle with a few of our clients last night. All those present wrote down memories and feelings, threw them in a bucket, and then took turns reading them out loud. The following are some samples of comments from parents and us the doulas:
"Took his temperature 20 times a day for the first week"
"I love seeing new parents faces when they first meet their baby"
"I did not know a 1-day old could pee so far"
"I love getting a phone call very early or very late. I know my phone only rings at that time for one reason"
"Didn't know I could love my husband more, but I do"
"One of my favorite parts of working as a doula is witnessing the reactions of the family and parents when the baby fully emerges into the world"
"Projectile vomit baby 80% of the time"
"I attended three births in 36 hours"
"Was practically naked throughout my birth"
"It was super awesome having a Doula at the birth because, someone with first hand experience was a great asset"
"So enjoy meeting new people and take delight in all of our Chico Doula Circle clients"
"I never thought I would spend so much time examining and talking about poop"
"I love when a woman is starting labor and the initial excitement that happens~all fear seems to melt away in those beginning moments"
"I will never forget the totally new yet absolutely familiar feeling of his shoulders, body and legs sliding out"
"My sister nick-named him the beast because he will cluster feed for three hours"
"Took his temperature 20 times a day for the first week"
