We received excellent care at HCMC - the nurses and midwives are fantastic and talented women who show concern for mom and baby in every move. Julie is a dear friend from college who guided us through labor, delivered Kai, and made sure Molly was safe throughout the process.
Our doula, Rebecca, was also exceptional, taking care of baby, mother and dad. She made sure we had water, were comfortable as possible, and helped the new dad understand what was needed and how to help best. She gave amazing support for us.
In addition other key team members played important roles. Gramma (Joan) gave emotional support and strength to us all. Ally handled the video camera and Molly's hand. Pops and Kit stepped in to see the final push, which was an added bonus. Molly could not have imagined laboring without this entire team, but honestly, the Stanford University marching band could have come through the room, and Molly would not have noticed much!

Great blog! I seldom go through the entire things, but this was different. Proud to know ya! Time to sing Power Ballads about children - e.g. When the Children Cry (Lion, White, personnal communication), Moment of Glory (Mein, K., personal communication).
