WOW. What a great couple. Beautiful!

Okay…
I really..really enjoy my wife, Hannah.

This could be stated as something obvious…that maybe you’re married because you obviously enjoy her so much — that you wanted to be together for, well life.

Doing life together.
I do love this phrase, because that’s what it is. 
Doing life together.

For those who don’t know, Hannah is a doula…she assists women in pre-natal, birth and postpartum with all things birth related - emotional, comfort exercises, and technical…things…. [and by technical, I mean helping with intimidating doctor lingo.]

But another word I could use to describe Hannah in this process is an advocate.
She empowers the women she works with to make their own decisions about their own birth - not a doctor who wants to be home by 5pm and schedules a “crucial” c-section. (but that’s for another day..)
She advocates for their freedom to make choices and to feel in control of what their bodies can do.

I must say…I am so intrigued by it all.
I’ve seen too many illustrations of breasts and bellies…and…well…you get the picture. [literally.]

“10 centimeters…!?” I proclaim in awe.
Yes,
10 centimeters.

Needless to say…I’m so proud of Hannah - how confident she is to help guide these women through highly emotional times and the impact it has on her… So much life in it all…it’s incredible.

Hannah got a call at 11:30 last night as she was in that ‘mid-dose-off’ kind of sleep. It was a momma who was beginning the first stages of labor. I sat…and watched Hannah go from sleepytime to “Do-Work Doula” explaining that “Yes..that’s fine…that’s going to happen” and “You should try to rest if you can, but it’s completely up to you to make these decisions”.

3am rolled around as I was slapped awake by a phone call from Han’s client who needed Han to come be with her. Hannah got up, got dressed and took a cab to their house. 

Simply…incredible. Such an intimate moment in these peoples’ lives…and Hannah is there and is trusted.

She is a comfort to them because she is empowering and advocating for them to have the best birth possible by making their own decisions and affirming their thoughts- creating such a powerful birth experience.

This is just one of the reasons I enjoy Han so much…besides the fact that she’s such an incredible person, friend, wife…she is truly an inspiration to me and teaches me so much about loving others - and expanding my heart for God and the Beloved.

yep.
my wife’s a doula.
and she kicks ass.
