Dream Home

I've been taking the long way home from work to scope out places that look suitable for a birth center. I start school in three weeks and I've been thinking a lot about what type of midwife I want to be, a home birth midwife or a midwife with a stable birth center.
Working with the women through The Pregnancy Center and from anecdotal conversations with other midwives, I think the South Saint Pete population would benefit from a birth center. Even though birth center birth is still "out of hospital" I think a lot of women feel more comfortable with a "place to go" for their visits and to have their baby. Sort of a half way point between home and the hospital.
Considering my targeted population, I should establish a center south of Central Avenue. However, I found the most beautiful house the other day on a different route home. It's in downtown Saint Pete, on the cusp of Old North East. A beautiful home situated in the middle of the city. The website that has it listed says that it can easily be used as a home or an office building. I wish for anything to start a birth center in this home but I know that is impossible. I don't have the money nor have I even started school yet!
Dreaming of this home keeps me motivated to succeed in school and eventually open a birth center. I know the road won't be easy but I'm preparing for the adventure...
