"I love the baby soooooo much mama."
"I can't wait"
"Has the baby changed yet" (referring to size... She asks every day)
"How many more days before the baby comes."
"Can we watch more homebirth videos?"
She wants to be in the birth tub with me.
She was my "little doula" through the loss of Jupiter in 2024, making me a fruit tray every time I was crying. (She knew I loved charcuterie and I wasn't able to eat during the grief/anxiety).
I feel deeply I will become a midwife, and she will follow in my footsteps. JUST like community midwifery was born... This is historical, ancestral, BEAUTIFULLY PROFOUND work.
