At the end of my pregnancy I starting feeling the calling to be a midwife. I didn't say anything to anyone. I just went to the Lord in prayer. I asked him if this is my calling then how can I do this with the time spent helping with my grandma? Then after a couple of months praying about it my grandma gets a new doctor which he helped her get better. My aunt decides to take early retirement so she can be there to help my grandma & take some of the weigh off of me. I feel the Lord was answering my prayer & opening the doors for me to be able to move on with it. I spent a few more months praying about it and the feeling was just getting stronger. The end of September I talked to Mark about it and he said go for it honey. He thinks I would be good at it.
The first of October I made the decision to move forward with it. I started going to birth meetings & researching. I have been reading so much the last couple of months getting ready to start my online courses. I will start my courses with Aviva Institute after the first of the new year. I will be taking these courses below.
1. Breastfeeding Educator Certification
2. Childbirth Educator Certification
3. Birth Doula Certification
After that I will start my midwife courses.

"Incredible Day of School"
Today we had an incredible day of school! Lots of learning along with lots of fun! It's such a blessing to have the joy of teaching your own children. I absolutely love watching each one of my children learn. Their all so different and have different learning styles. Each of one them are at different levels. I enjoy hearing their book reports, essays & research papers. I say hear because they have to stand up in front of our family and read them out loud.
When your child is having problems with one subject. It's such a joy to see how proud your child is when they finally it and you get to enjoy that special moment wtih them.
There's nothing like hearing your child read for the first time. A moment I'm so glad that I'm here see the looks on their faces & hear their excitement when they say I CAN READ! It's just an Incrediblely awesome feeling! Another special moment I wouldn't miss for anything.
These are memories I hope I never forget!
Thank You my heavenly father for allowing me to be able to stay home with my children & for the freedom to homeschool!!!!! A true blessing!
