Spring – an amazing time to enjoy. We get so excited that the weather is changing and warming up, getting rid of the boots and heavy jackets. Well for me along with Spring is the start of a wonderful season of New Babies!! I so love being immersed in Birth 🙂
Yesterday an adorable little girl arrived ‘early’, perfect in all ways. This had been a long awaited event for her parents, and the whole labor and birth was surprisingly quick, especially (and thankfully) for her mother! What was the best part for me? For ten minutes, I stood beside Dad, he helped catch his daughter and place her on Mum’s chest. He was so excited about catching his baby he didn’t look to see what sex the baby was. Maybe the tears of joy peaking from the corner of his eyes, made it hard to see 🙂 Mum was asking what they had, with no response from a stunned Dad, she lifted the baby’s leg and screamed, It’s A Girl! and then the tears ran down Mum’s cheeks. They both believed it might be a boy, then the discovery of their daughter, brought a serge of excitement for both parents.
It is no wonder that a Doula loves what she does, the excitement of Birth, is addicting.
I am looking forward to a full new season of Beautiful Babies and Over the Moon Excited Parents!!
