And your knowledge can reach out and have a wider effect than just on the families you've worked with. I'm pretty sure the work will go on!

It's the work I've done my whole life. And the vitality and love and sorrow and contentment, the whole catastrophe. <br /><br />It's a hard one to put down. But I might want to finish the book I started writing. And paint. And hang with my dog. And be in love...beth coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671290135595711572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-43676484997813305062015-10-28T23:47:22.526-07:002015-10-28T23:47:22.526-07:00Yes, you deserve a rest, if only from the night wo...Yes, you deserve a rest, if only from the night work. I'm sure your clients want your magical hands and spirit still. It will be hard but it is time to concentrate on your honey. BTW, congratulations on your recent relationship. It sounds strong and satisfying. You make life lovely.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015888228309968515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-50044976553844474192015-10-27T12:13:09.230-07:002015-10-27T12:13:09.230-07:00I'm glad you're setting up for retirement,...I'm glad you're setting up for retirement, if only from nights. Sounds like a good plan. I want you to have fun with your honey and energy left for a youthful seventh decade. Damn. <br /><br />I love your panda photo. <br /><br />My first labour was a long, long one that looked set to pop early but then went off the boil and she wasn't born til after 3.30 the following day. Seeing the sun come up and hearing people come out and about outside was SO disspiriting.

I love watching Jessie nurse. She does know all about latching and so forth and August is a good nurser and all is working well. But Lily has some sort of problem that does not allow for enough milk and I watched her nurse and formula feed and that worked out wonderfully well too even though she had to truly work at it. <br />I love hearing about your honey.

And knowing when to hand over. <br /><br />Now I am back in my mind to the days and nights of breastfeeding my premature baby, all that business with pumps and hanging my boobs into a bowl of hot water to get the milk flowing. Carrying my stash to the hospital on the back of my bicycle and watching the my milk feeding her through the nasal tube. Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.com
