I love reading all the details and imagining being the doula or midwife (of course, with more experience) and the connection with the mothers and families and the POWER of the births and laboring. the birth process is so amazing.

I'm still searching for housing in Madison. Anyone have any tips for cool neighborhoods to live in (and neighborhoods to avoid)??
