One week and many naps later, she arrives. The strong, vibrant mother of 2 that she now is. You watch in awe and amazement how she calmly snuggles her newborn while firmly and lovingly directing her elder child. You understand because you have been in this moment not too long ago. It is palpable under your mothering skin -- the excitement, the ease, the adjustment, the faint feeling of overwhelm balanced by tiny, infinite successes.

... where they need to be born that is. One of our young, powerful Tree of Life clients delivered a thriving baby boy at Scripps Encinitas Hospital on Sunday morning after a swift and calm labor. by Laura Mann, CNM.
I am still pinching myself that I get to be this woman.... who listens to women... who travels with them to and through the birth vortex, and out the other side. Once again, I am humbled by birth.... by the tiniest and most fierce little beings... and their courageous mamas..... and their calm fathers.... and their intuitive siblings.... and the midwife who teaches me and the lessons learned from inside out. Who goes to the sea and washes birth off, and comes home to her own babies whose passages cemented my path, changed my body and forever lift my spirit. Come along friends. This is going to be an amazing journey. |
