While I love going to school and I especially love midwifery, I do have my reservations. It's ironic, I find, that a profession dedicated in large part to helping women become mothers can be so Mom-unfriendly. I'm really worried that I'm missing out on my kids and vice versa but by the same token, I can't imagine NOT becoming a midwife.
I guess I just wish I could have my cake and eat it too.
I just got my marks today and while I am not, technically, a straight A student, I did come pretty darn close to it. But I can't take all the credit. You see, before I was a parent, I was kind of a slacker. I got good marks for classes I liked, but I rarely got anything done on time. It's my children, they're my raison d'etre, my inspiration, the fire under my butt. I guess what I'm coming to realize is that as much as my kids need me, I need them too (maybe more!) and I'm afraid we won't get enough of each other.
New plan: become midwife, become sovereign queen of midwifery, decree midwifery should be Mom-friendly.
Let them eat cake.

I think that being a midwife would be SO neat. It has always been something I have been interested in - at one point I actually considered becoming an OB. I will enjoy folling your story! =)
