You have such a God-given gift for being present with pregnant, laboring, and new moms and their families. I know without a shadow of doubt that you will be surprised at where you end up in a very short time. I want to encourage you to really press into the Lord and ask Him to guide you through the lessons He is teaching you. He has such a great plan for your life!! I thank Him for leading us to you almost 5 years ago. Little Jonah, who I am sure you remember weighed 11.6 pounds at delivery, is a happy, healthy, incredibly funny and brilliant little boy who brings so much joy into our lives. Thank you for being there for us 5 years ago. I will never forget you...and I will be praying for you!<br /><br />Blessings and hugs,<br /><br />Sarah Waterlandswhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807264087675283786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594919628580913013.post-30517968812248769392016-05-04T16:07:58.880-07:002016-05-04T16:07:58.880-07:00Perfect advice, Bettie!

You allow us to see the parts that make you who you are, when we never would know from just passing you by in hallway or on the street, with a smile and a hello. Your birth and life stories are amazing and all the parts rolled up together are what make you the midwife that you are today!Lori J.

The more we trust that the mother and baby know what they are doing and protect their space to do it, the better. And that is what trusting birth is......trusting that the symbiotic physiology of mother and baby will finish what they started.infanticipating.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518251640069876138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594919628580913013.post-778804961095262382014-11-13T12:40:56.384-08:002014-11-13T12:40:56.384-08:00Absolutely! <3Absolutely! <3 Kim Lane, CPM, LM [VA] (formerly Kim Mosny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14539630157335434198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594919628580913013.post-20279418250436549252013-01-17T17:53:42.893-08:002013-01-17T17:53:42.893-08:00The timing of you writing this and me reading this...The timing of you writing this and me reading this today could not have been more perfect.
