A glimpse into the 24 hours of labor + over 4 hours of pushing + ultimately a complicated cesarean that brought us our son. Holy + heavy + humbling - I have never felt closer to Heaven. The best thing I’ve ever done!!!! To my circle - To my husband + best friend: you made me feel brave + strong + capable. Being on a team with you is my greatest honor! My mom + Milo’s Gigi: thank you for being our prayer warrior + laughing + crying with us. Seeing you hold my baby while loving me like I’m still yours. Otherworldly!!! My angel sister doula team: @deeprootsbirthco you have revealed to me my own strength + I will forever remember the holy + intimate moments we shared + all you carried me through. For honoring my birth dreams even when the plan changed. Thank you” will never be enough. To the midwife who dried me off after laboring in the tub, the nightshift nurse who brought me uncrustables at 2 am as I learned to breastfeed, the housekeeping staff who kept our room clean - I will remember every hand! Thank you for every text, meal, gift, kind words - we feel surrounded in the best way. We are forever changed! Oh, and women are incredible. Thank your Momma if you’re able 💌
