Well, I've found that I spend a lot more time holding babies than writing about them. Apparently blogging doesn't seem a priority to me when compared to holding and caring for mommas and babies. But something about finishing up with a family this week prompted me to want to sit and write about it.  

 

For their privacy I'll only mention a little bit of our experience together. I've been with this family longer than a normal term.  Usually two to six weeks is about the average time we spend together.  This allows us enough time to work out breastfeeding issues, newborn care, get momma feeling strong and and daddy confident.  But this family had some extenuating circumstances that had me with them since October.  Today, alas, it was time for me to say goodbye to them.  It was really bittersweet, as much of life with little ones can be.  Not wanting to say goodbye the sweet momma and I fumbled a bit at the door, making small talk after weeks of talking about such intimacies as infant and adult bodily fluids and functions! We managed a decent goodbye and I drove away.  Only to receive a short text moments later.  "Thank you for getting us through it!" 

 

Nice.
