In honor of World Doula Week: a picture from my last baby's birth. Doulas need doula support too! I have so much love and respect for my doula sisters. We encourage, cover, and pray for one another.

We had a true knot this weekend! You kept us all on our toes, little one, but now we see that the Lord has big plans for you. We are so thankful to the Lord that you are healthy and strong. Good job mom and dad for staying strong until your little adventurer was safely in your arms!
