I am at this moment, this very moment, looking into doula certification so that I have some additional credentials as a birth photographer! So hopefully I'll be able to know exactly how to provide support to pregnant and birthing mothers.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496860234400536830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-89046994615677939372011-04-16T00:50:55.801-06:002011-04-16T00:50:55.801-06:00Rae, you and your baby hunger has helped another. ...Rae, you and your baby hunger has helped another. I don't know if you know how much. Your obsession with all things newborn has helped me beyond words. Childbirth terrifies me. It is a great unknown (especially with certain conditions I have), and I fear it. BUT my fear has been greatly, greatly ebbed by your excitement and happiness over the whole process of bringing a baby into this world. <br />When people used to bring up babies or childbirth or pregnancy I would literally shake in fear and cry if they kept going or I kept listening. But now I smile and cry with a mixture of happiness, excitement and only a little fear. That is huge for me. Thank you.<br /><br />Please, please, PLEASE obsess over and document all my babies. I want you to. It's one of the things I'm most excited for.<br /><br /><br />P.S. I loved this post, it was truly beautiful. Also, I love you, you're truly beautiful. :)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529370572620811441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-16270723198923347102011-02-09T19:52:36.823-07:002011-02-09T19:52:36.823-07:00I'm so glad you can relate, Lara!

I have not marked my favorite blogs "all read" because I want to read them, but life has been insane.<br /><br />Anyway...this was such a beautiful post. I relate. I think I am done with my own family. Just the last week or so do I feel like I can finally say that. I am nearing 40, pregnancy has always been hell, and I don't know that I could handle another child as much as I think I want one. I've been praying my guts out, and we've been trying and not trying as I change my mind. I think I was in a stupor of thought! And now one of my friends here is finally pregnant, and I think that's enough for me. Weird. But true. But I think you understand.<br /><br />And also, I loved reading all about your family and seeing their pictures. It is an insight into who you are, too. Loved it. Love you!Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-28010200376359602082011-01-20T21:50:23.914-07:002011-01-20T21:50:23.914-07:00I love you, Rae.

Very sweet post. <br /><br />I had similar feelings while we were trying to get pregnant, and it was really hard sometimes to be okay with the fact that it would happen someday (and to be grateful for the blessing that had confirmed that fact). <br />I read a lot about the barren women in the scriptures, and my goodness, what a trial. I've joked before about how us Boatright girls are so fertile, but it's a huge blessing, too. <br /><br />By the way, you look so heavenly holding those twins. That's my favorite picture of you lately.Qaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090577030703367345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-45592278918608874392011-01-20T16:31:47.248-07:002011-01-20T16:31:47.248-07:00I felt like that the year before I got pregnant wi...I felt like that the year before I got pregnant with Sarah. ALL of my SIL's were pregnant that year, and I really wanted to be. Being filled with peace is indeed a sweet miracle. Thanks for sharing Rae.
