Do not begrudge me this. I have a postpartum doula here tonight from 10pm until 6am. I am going to sleep. OK, no, I'm going to go lie in bed and read "Duma Key" by Stephen King.
But it sure beats staying up almost all night last night with a congested infant. A break! Well, Chebbles is still my responsibility, but Baby V is in the arms of another.
So I sleep.
About Me
- Shaken Mama
- Hub-D and I are now parents to Chebbles (9/05) and her sister, Baby V (2/08). Despite weathering two miscarriages in 2006, and enduring two hellish full-term pregnancies so far, we harbor maniacal dreams of adding to our family. I quit running a PR agency in order to raise my children, obsessively pee on pregnancy tests and drink wine.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Enjoy!
Who would begrudge you? And where can I get a post adoption doula?
Enjoy Duma Key - I did!
I'm just going to smile smugly. I figure I'm allowed to since you threatened my child's weak, wispy fragile locks with V's mutant hair.
Seriously though, I hope V feels better. Congestion is never a good thing. You've earned a semi-night off.
Good for you and do it often as you need or want!
I think there *should* be post-adoption doulas. Maybe ones who speak the baby's "native language" and can help ease the nighttime transition, particularly if there is jet lag involved. There would be a great market of great women like you guys for that kind of thing!
