So I just had to share this quote from one of the wonderful midwives I'll be travelling with to Haiti. We were finalizing plans and sharing our mutual anxiety about our trip, and she came up with the perfect comparison.
"I think this experience is like being in labor. You are excited for it start happening, but the when the time comes the reality of it suddenly hits you and you realize that you are going to have to do something really, really difficult that you can't wrap your mind around in advance and that is going to challenge all of your coping mechanisms. If you are not at least a little scared, you probably don't understand the reality of it."
Thanks, Barb, for letting me quote you! Wise words. :-)
3 days and counting.
