New babe at my breast, and not sure how...
If
only my mother could be with me now.
But a doula comes today.
Why all these hiccups and now he keeps sneezing.
Is he breathing or is he wheezing?
Thank heavens the doula comes today.
I cry as much as my baby does.
Not sure why, just because.
Oh, the doula comes today.
No time to shower, not even eat.
I should
fix tea but I'm just beat.
But my doula comes today.
At four a.m. we were going full tilt.
I answered
my door in a sanitary belt.
When my doula came today.
I should clip his microscopic nails
And bathe
him though he wiggles and wails.
Aw heck, the doula comes today.
It's coming together just as she said.
I fed him and burped him and made my bed
Before my doula came today.
With a phone in my ear and my
babe at my breast
I was woman and mother, queen of my nest
When my doula left today.
