Thank you, Tawana. I did feel a sweet connection with Mama during this pregnancy and birth. She was 42 when she had me, her ninth. And I am 42 now. I miss her!

Congratulations - welcome Ezra!

Birth stories are so personal and it's always hard to articulate and capture. Thanks for trying to do that for us so beautifully.

Thanks so much, Haley! It feels so important to me write them, and to do it quickly. It has been two weeks now, and I already feel a huge distance between myself and the birth experience. I never want to forget the lessons that God teaches me in giving birth.
