Mom says, "you look like a beached walrus."

We are going to the hospital.

It took them 4 hours to get an IV started and 5 sticks.

Finally relief.

We have 3 midwives and a doula with us. What would we do without our doula Kelly?

The bigger question is what would we do without our favorite Midwife? L. gives Melissa the courage to keep going. She is grounded and focused. Melissa adores her and will do what she says. I am glad she is present and it is a true honor knowing she will "catch" Abbie.

Melissa's mom tells Melissa, "You looked like a beached walrus..."

Thanks mom!
