My first homebirth - my doula partner!!!
I am SO excited - my doula partner JerseyJess had her baby yesterday!!!!
This was my FIRST homebirth and my FIRST time attending the birth of another doula.
I am not going to share any details until she posts her story, other than it was a beautiful beautiful birth and I am so honored to have been a part of it.
So Jess, if you are reading this - Go post in the Birth Stories forum!!
