figured I'd ask here :)

are you getting your doula training? i hadn't heard...

yep :) A bunch of us (Ashley, Jo, Kristarae, Lisa/BloominglikeWinter, can't remember who else) are doing it through Birth Arts International - distance learning, then you have some you have to do locally to be certified. I'm babysitting for a girl from Lindsey's school and her mom asked me if I'd attend her birth this summer :) Wishing I was still local to your mom's group though!

congratulations! good luck!

I realize this is an old thread, but if you're still looking I've got a bunch of books here:
