Thus far along my path to becoming a midwife, I have found that most things are a lesson in patience. There was the waiting until The Boy was old enough for me to start my education. There was the waiting for the right time to enroll in a program. There was the waiting to find out if I was accepted to Midwives College of Utah. And now there is the waiting to find out if I am going to be apprenticing with the midwife I met with at the beginning of June. It's all about patience.
Thankfully, it is a lesson that I am learning to handle fairly well. Though I definitely have a lot of anticipation, it is a fun anticipation and I'm trying to learn to enjoy it. The only concern I have is that there is one more apprenticeship at the new birth center that has opened up in our area that I would like to apply for if this one doesn't come through. And I'm worried that the timing is not going to work out right and I will end up without either one. I want to work with the solo practice midwife, but would learn a lot from either.
But I will just keep soaking up the lessons I am learning. God knows that birth doesn't come when it is most convenient to us either!

It will all fall into place. I remember the feeling so well!!
