Sit


Often, the hardest skill to practice in midwifery is patience. To just sit, listen, encourage, and hold that space for a birthing mom are also the most powerful tools in helping moms through labor. I am grateful to be sitting with two patient and amazing midwives as we wait for this baby. And, as the end of the second day comes to an end, it looks like baby won't be sharing the day with St. Patrick afterall.
