Two Births in One Week

Yup, I attended two births in one week as a doula/midwife's apprentice! It was an awesome experience. :) So far I've attended six births and I've learned so much at each birth, from midwifery, to helping the mom cope with the pain by using massage or pressure.

So first was little Noah. He weighed in at 7lb. 2oz. Then a few days later came Emma and all 10lb. 9oz of her! :) They are both so precious and greatly loved by their families.

Thank you so much Erin and Ben, Laura and Caleb, for involving me in your birth experiences! :)
