Yesterday morning I got a call from the Poppet's Mum. "It's the call," she said, "the call you've been waiting for." I knew what to do. I bolted out of bed, threw on some clothes, and drove as fast as was legal to go get her and bring her to the hospital. Through a series of crazy circumstances, I had the most incredible good fortune to be there at the birth of her daughter. My life is changed forever, now. I have new-found respect for women everywhere who go through this experience. It was truly, truly awe-inspiring. I have never (and suspect will never) seen anything so amazing, dramatic, gorgeous, traumatic...and just...well, miraculous. I feel incredibly honoured to have witnessed such an incredible event.

....so I suppose now I'll have to call her "Poppet's Mum ... plus one."

Look at her hair! Wow, so beautiful. Well done poppet's Mum, plus one and her newly baptised doula (birth partner) emzeegee.
Career change, maybe? Ha, ha, not likely- I stood there in the heat and the dust with you today, and the grin never left your face. Another 'well done you'. What a week!
