the sweet onion is here.

Yesterday morning, i was able to witness the birth of a little babe (4 lbs 7 onz) from an amazingly strong woman aided by the love of her husband. Due to being less than 37 weeks into her pregnancy, the mom came from the birth center to the hospital with her midwife. It was such a gentle birth full of close contact with the lil babe. her birth story will not be written in english, i have already been told. i am just thankful that i can capture my own reflection of it to have as a memory.

Three years ago this month, i gave birth at about 37 weeks along to a lil babe (exactly 5 lbs). She is the joy of my world as well as the greatest teacher of patience. Thank god for those lil babes that teach us how to stay close, give attention, develop patience and just get attached!

Spring onion sprang with your gentle and wonderful help. We would love your chapter in English written about her birth. Thanks so much for your warm, giving, and so helpful doula services, as well as for being a friend!
