Long & Worth it

Leila… You beautiful, amazing midwife goddess. Our experience with you was just incredible. You worked so so hard for us to make sure we got the home birth we wanted so desperately. You never gave up on us and pushed through our 2 day long labor and delivery. We STUNK. All of us. But if that smell did not show how much we persevered through. From you massaging my cervix to help get things moving along further, to helping me with my cervical swelling by literally shoving ice inside me, the DEDICATION. But all jokes aside, we rocked out together while I was on my birthing stool, shoving fist fills of ice down my throat to keep me going. You finally got me to face my fears and lay on my back, with my knees to my chest, and I got that big headed, stuck baby out. With a head full of hair you were tempted to Mohawk while I was pushing. You’re wonderful. Incredible. Any woman and couple would be blessed beyond belief to have you as their midwife. I know I was. I’m going to miss you so much when you head off to your further endeavors but damn did you not work so hard for that. You deserve every good thing coming your day because you have done nothing but bless others with your love, grace and presence. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. Truly. We will always cherish these moments for the rest of our lives. ♥️
