I am really happy to be home with my kids right now, trying to do a good job raising these 4 souls is the most challenging, exhausting, and rewarding thing I have ever done. I am doing exactly what I had planned for this stage of our lives.
That said, I do really miss work. I am blessed to have chosen a career that really is also my passion. So, I am always thrilled to be invited to go to a birth as a support person. It gives me just enough of a fix to keep me happy, and remind me that in a few years it will be a part of my life again.
On Sunday night I was honored to be with Erin and Josh as they welcomed Petrea into the world. It was a perfect and beautiful birth. Erin was amazing, and the baby gorgeous. That sweet baby was so polite, she arrived so quickly, my family barely even noticed I was gone, and I was home in time for Rebekah to still make her first day of early morning seminary!
Thanks guys.

We felt so lucky to have you there. You helped make it the best birth ever. I can see why you'd miss it, you are so good at it! Thanks for staying up all night with us!
If I'm still here when I have my next baby would you come with me, too??? I can't think of a anyone who would be better at your job than you, Tania.
Lindsey, I would LOVE to.
women having a passion for the birth experience are so far and few...anyone who can have a friend like you as a birth assistant is super lucky!
