Childbirth and Breastfeeding Resources!
Pictured - TWO YEARS AGO having just birthed our last baby boy! As my mind focuses on the new baby we now anxiously wait! The tiny body to fit the packed newborn onesie.
“I’m not afraid, I was born to do this.”
“You knit me in my mother’s womb.”
“You did not choose me, but I choose you.”
Today friends, let’s remember our most important work! No matter worldly outcomes, or whatever we anxiously wait, let’s re-focus our minds to cherishing the ones in front of us.
Books are one of my favorite re-focusing tools! Sharing my pregnancy favorites:
