BIRTHdays

I've had a totally different outlook on birthdays since I got involved in birth work. When its someone's birthday, I immediately think about the mommy and want to celebrate her and hear all about her experience. This year on my sister's birthday, my mom re-told me her birth story. She started reminiscing about the feeling she had that day - her first contractions, and all the excitement she felt. She was smiling and tearing up at the same time.

For your next birthday, celebrate and thank your mother - she gave you life! Ask about her experience giving birth to you.


Happy Birthday to my friends Liz and Don today! Many thanks to their mommys today!
