Postpartum Training...

Well, I registered for the DONA approved Postpartum Training last week. I'm not sure how we'll manage with the baby, but Ted assures me that we can make it work. I need to start pumping, and we need some kind of a 'milk delivery system'. A sippy cup maybe? He's almost six months old. I don't think he'll take a bottle, but we'll see. Ted will bring him to me for feedings mostly. I'm a little freaked out, but it's something I want to do. I also took out a membership in DONA this morning, so I'm on my way to becoming a certified postpartum doula. I'm still debating my business name. Eventually I want to return to doing births as well, so I'm not sure that I want to make my business name specific to postpartum. I have several domain names registered and I should use one of them, but I want to make sure it's the right one.

I wish I could be the type of person who just jumps in and does what she wants instead of being the type that thinks too much about everything. Now, business planning is great, but I tend to go overboard and think myself into defeat. I get into that "it's too hard, I should just forget about it" frame of mind. I have to get past that. I do have the training to do this. I have my Breastfeeding Counselling Certificate, am working on my Lactation Educator cert, Happiest Baby cert, Infant Massage cert and will have the PP training done soon. I need to look into the CPR training soon and get that booked, too. I can do this.

Right?
