lady doula

doula \DOO-luh\, noun:
A woman who assists during childbirth labor and provides support to the mother, her child and the family after childbirth.

lady doggins \LAY-dee DOG-gins\, noun:
Our dog who assists and provides support to Jen, her unborn baby and the family before childbirth.

Our terrier has become quite the caregiver, she is constantly at Jens side now, and is always guarding Jens food and drink from those pesky cats, Raga Mazoo and Lil’ Meow. Its like she knows Jen is pregnant, which is pretty cool. Shes always been a super loving dog, but you can tell a real difference in her demeanor now, which is fascinating to watch.

lando calrissian, batman, and a 300lb baby

Jen and i were playing the never ending “name game” last nite, when i told her that it would be alot easier to come up with a name if you knew what the baby would look like when it was about 25. You would hate to name your baby”Slim” or “Tiny” and then they end up weighing like 300lbs. So i guess we can scratch those names two off the list. But seriously, sometimes it seems that peoples names dont really fit their personalities. Unless youre talking about the seven dwarfs, their names were spot on.

That being said, i think we should cut out the middleman and name our child something like Doctor, Senator, or ‘The honorable judge.’ Jen really liked the name Lando, until i told her it was the name of a character from Star Wars. Next time you can bet i will keep my mouth shut until after the baby is born. Although I dont think she has caught on to my suggesting the name ‘Bruce Wayne.’ And since she hasnt caught on yet, i would appreciate you not telling her.
