So as my new daughter sleeps and my husband snores his way through what I can only assume is a coma I started thinking about how amazing this experience was for me and how the people involved in Radhas birth have touched my life (and hers) forever. Leslie C. Cuffee : words cannot even begin to say how grateful I am that we connected and that you agreed to be my doula. Your support, love and never ending encouragement kept me fighting for what was best for me and my baby for nine long months. My labor experience was so much less frightening and less stressful with you by our sides - gently guiding and reassuring when needed and wonderfully supportive and intuitive when I needed that external voice to tell me my body and baby were talking to me telling me what I needed to do and how to do it. (And that I knew how to listen to them both!) You have forever touched my heart and will always be a part of Radhas life. Thank you - we could not have asked for a more beautiful soul to join us in welcoming this new life into the world. To the wonderful nurses, doctors and a very special midwife at NMCP Labor & Delivery - the support and care I received during this labor was incredible. I had severe reservations and fears about delivering at a military hospital - mostly because we could not be sure that my OB would be there for all of my care and the delivery. The staff here showed me that I stressed none months over NOTHING. Everyone was on board with our delivery plan, were compassionate, kind and so very respectful of our wishes. Because the delivery itself was so very, VERY fast my OB didnt make it in to catch Radha - and that was alright because the fabulous midwife that attended my birth let me labor in the position my body dictated and trusted me to call the shots. Lastly, I need to thank Sean, the man responsible for yesterdays events. Lover, we have ridden out some Rough storms together. We have also basked in some pretty glorious sunshine. Yesterday was sunshiny day -filled to overflowing with love, light and joy for me and it is all because of your love, trust and belief in me. Thank you for dealing with my crazy self over the last none months. Thank you for loving me and holding me up through a long, painful induction. Thank you for believing I could do it. Thank you for being a wonderful, strong, loving mate, partner and friend for me and the kindest most loving father i have ever laid my eyes on. Love you, babe. Look at what we made! We now have TWO beautiful little girls :) Our hearts are full to bursting.
