First Birth

I recently had the completely amazing honor of attending my first doula birth. I had so many emotions going into it. I was a little nervous, but so so excited. I wondered how the timing would work out. I worried about missing Gwen's first day of school. But in the end Mama started contracting on the weekend, and the timing was just about the best I could have hoped for.

It wouldn't have mattered if it had happened at the worst timing though, the experience was just so amazing.

The mom was a labor rock star, and I was so blessed to be a part of her experience!

I can't believe that this is my job now, that I get to have the honor of being invited to one of the most life changing events a woman can experience. I absolutely can not wait to do it again!

Baby squish!
