I graduated from midwifery school tonight!

Here is a slideshow I made for the event if anyone would like to see:

I'm the only blonde student in it, so it will be easy to identify me!

It has been an intense, tough experience. Anyone who has trained under Shari Daniels (or has heard the rumors) knows what I am talking about. But I do feel as if I've accomplished something!

Thanks to this forum! I love it here! As I pursue my now unofficial continuing education to become the kind of midwife I really want to be, this is my home base.

Beautiful mama!! Tears of joy for you are streaming down my face watching that. CONGRATULATIONS on such a fantastic accomplishment!

Here's to the next phase in your midwifery journey!

ETA: One of my dear friends had her babe at the MMC and at one point I was all signed up to go with Shari on one of her trips to Jamacia but had my 2nd kiddo instead. Anyway, I've long since thought about that special place and am living vicariously through you right now!!

oh congrats, congrats, congrats!

Any interest in relocating to central Fl (Lakeland area)? We NEED midwives up here!

[momileigh]

Thanks for all the congratulations!

I'm actually planning to relocate to South Carolina, near Charlotte. But some of my classmates are relocating to areas around Florida. Maybe one of them will make it to central FL. I'll pass on your tip to my fellow graduates.
