Yep, they did, so, hurray! I needed some excuse to socialize, broaden my horizons and explore new blogs…if you are dropping my for the first time, welcome! This blog has only been up a short time but here is the 25 second blog/backstory:
I have three boys; they are cute,witty and tiring. I have a job, it’s way too big for my life so we’re moving on soon and I’m gonna return to my former love of being a doula and my new passion of being a childbirth educator; I have a husband, and he’s the one who installs new batteries.
About my blog title – took the words right out of my two year old’s mouth (only he’s about to be 8) – “needs new batteries” was his response to making attempt to draw on white paper with a white crayon. When he said that, some mommying stuff really crystallized for me.
Did someone say party?

Hi, its nice to meet you. I stopped by your site from the party, I had to see the story behind needs new batteries. That kills me, my 2 (almost 3) year old son says that about everything! How funny. We are potty training and when I sit him on the potty and he can’t go, he says, “don’t work, needs new batteries!” Great site!

Doula huh? I’m just starting to get my feet wet in the world of midwifery! I’m trying to attend 1 birth a month as an unpaid midwife assistant. Eventually, when my kiddos are older, I want to be a direct-entry midwife. I looked into being a childbirth educator, but it didn’t seem to fit me quite right…Anyway, I was thrilled to read that about you!Stop by if you get a chance!

Irony at it’s best, my sister is a doulah, and I had all 3 of my children at the same hospital, begging for drugs the second my papers were signed and I was admitted. She attended all 3 births..as my sister and new Aunt. She likes to say I showed her how ‘not’ to have a baby. LOLSometimes, small is powerful, and simple is impossible, and a child shall lead us.Love your blog, and will bookmark you and come back often to visit.Come by and check out mine if you have the time. Hope to see you ’round.

Hello! so nice to meet you =)Good luck with being a doula … it’s one of those jobs I dream about doing, but really, probably have little chance of doing it!About the battery comment, I have a 1 year old who gets made when toys don’t “talk” to him. It does make me think and wonder and at times I am tempted to throw out all the electronics, but well, I guess I’m really not ready to do that!

Just popping by for the party (late)!So cool you’re a doula! I had my last child at home with two midwives, a doula, and a midwife’s apprentice–it was packed, LOL! My blog is womanwithmanyhats.com (not my blank Blogger one). I have festive exploding bubbles; please stop by!
