advice from me to you, free of charge

if you are going to watch someone push a seven pound five ounce baby out of their wahoozie...

pick people who get the giggles.
pick people who watch funny cat videos on you tube...during labor.
pick people who let you take 318 pictures of ev.er.y.thing.
pick people who find the happy tree painter guy soothing and find great pleasure in predicting the exciting-but always calm- turns in his paintings.
pick people who love each other.
people who support each other.
people who know their role.
people who are very good listeners.
people who you are comfortable with...like super duper comfy with...like bff worthy.

i am glad these people picked me! words can not describe this experience. pictures can't capture the laughs and the encouragement or the strength of one tough mama. 

thank you sara and trevor for inviting me to be a part of this day.  thank you lisa and delia for making me part of the team.  noah is gorgeous, and very, very lucky...no doubt about that.

You are all phenomenal people, and together, unbeatable. So glad you got to take part of such a sacred experience. It is life changing, and life affirming, all at the same time.

Welcome Noah! We love you already.
