I read your article in the september/october issue of mothering magazine and it really intrigued me. I am wondering if it is a good choice for me, so decided to check out your site for more stories and thoughts. I really can't think of anything better really and I plan to discuss this postpartum idea with my midwife in a few days. What are your thoughts if my husband can't get 15 days off from work to be with us.....should I get a postpartum doula to help out or would it be appropriate for my mom to help out in that case? I also just read your thoughts on immersion. I am also thinking about immersion but at home. I am not a native french speaker, but I am a French teacher with decent skills and accent. I am considering speaking only in French to the baby and my husband will speak in English. Again- thanks for your article and all the best.
