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.
