Birth of the family

Two of my babies were born in May. I have fond memories of those early days, the "baby moon" time. As a birth Doula I have the privilege of witnessing the creation of the new family. I see the moment a baby is born and the look on the parents faces, tears of joy, excitement. My heart is warmed. I'm filled with a profound sense of blessing and purpose. I think to myself.......this is at the core of what life is about. Birth of a baby.....birth of a mother......birth of a father.....birth of the family.
