Even though this was my fifth baby, Leah was indispensable on this journey. Even though my precipitous labor kept her from being present for the actual delivery, I don't think I could have done nearly as well without her guidance, support, and resources beforehand. She met with me, patiently listened to all of my concerns and questions, helped me make informed medical decisions and provided resources. She helped me put together a clear, concise birth plan. She asked helpful questions that I hadn't even considered. When urgent medical questions came up, she helped me work through making the best decision for me and my baby, and was very available post-partum for any questions and support I needed. As a bonus, my older kids really enjoyed meeting and spending time with her!
I distinctly remember her coming on a post-partum visit and taking the baby while we chatted, and I felt so at peace knowing that I can take this break and "she's got this!" It felt like an older, wiser sister is here to reassure and comfort me as well as provide tangible support where I need before I even anticipated it myself. Thank you, Leah!
