Some of us, doulas talked about meeting to discuss a sort of child care co-op and doula life in general. There are a few people new to the area who need to do some networking, too. So, please bring business cards, ideas and resources.<br><br>
We can meet either at Herndon Park in Durham or at my house (both are near Southpoint Mall). I would say that it's okay for kids to come to the park but my house may not be the best for lots of kids these days. (My dog is just getting over surgery today. And, I am in mini-nesting mode, already, IYKWIM.)<br><br>
Next weekend on Sat or Sunday work for me. I won't have another free weekend for a couple of months, i would guess. Can you all please vote and RSVP here this week? Thanks!

Saturday works for me ... earlier rather than later, but i could probably do either.

I'm moving next weekend. But I'll be at the DONA postpartum workshop <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

maybe we should just postpone this for a couple of months? i think my nesting got in the way of making it kid friendly, which made some people less hesitant to come...of course. i mean, i totally understand needing/wanting to bring the babes. and, you all know my house is usually a weekly playdate space.<br><br>
so, if people are not super interested in this weekend, then let's just plan something for late march or early april. thoughts?

stacy,<br>
that sounds like a good plan.<br><br>

I think it should wait til you're all doped up on prolactin and hardly notice the veggie booty all over the floor.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><br><br>
You've got a lot going on and I think it makes sense to wait.<br><br>
There, that's my 2 cents.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin">

okay, so meeting postponed!<br><br>
see you all in april or may! let's open it up to all birth professionals, then, perhaps. i know some midwife's assistants who would like to get in on this, too.
