What it Takes

My studies have been going great!! I have been working really hard, and I am very proud of myself. I am doing well in both colleges, and work is going good, too. I just have so many good things going on in life! Thankyou God!
I wish that others could see how hard I am working. I know alot of people who think that midwives are not as knowlegable as "Dr.'s" are. I think that if they saw how much work and time that I dedicate to the study of this, that maybe they would change their mind about midwives.
I was talking with Adrian on the way home from Edmond the other night, and I was trying to explain about the work that midwives do. I believe that the reason why most people think midwives are "simple" is because all they can picture are old women "catching" babies. Delivering a baby is only about 5% of the work that we do. I have to have knowledge in Anatomy and Physiology, I have to know about Nutrition, and some Biology, I have to understand about family dynamics, and in some cases about other cultures in how they work and believe. There is just so much more work than "catching" a baby.
With ever little bit that I learn, and believe me I am learning so much, I know that I am supposed to do this. God has called me to do this work. I will say it over and over again, because I am just so happy and amazed with this!
God Bless You All!!!!
