The Beginning of Childbirth December 15, 2007

The first time I remember really noticing birth was in High School. 

I was in between classes and saw a girl that I had been in school with for several years walking to class with a very large belly. 

It suddenly dawned on me…. wow….there is really a baby in that belly. 

Not just a pregnant girl, but a girl and a baby too.

I was amazed and intrigued. 

I thought and thought about the amazing gift of birth and how it happens and knew then that I wanted to be and obstetrician (or so I thought).   I just knew it had to be something with birth in the equation.

After falling in love with birth and incredible inspiration from my High School Anatomy and Physiology teacher Ms. Dahlia Galvan, I knew birth was were I should be.

After graduating, I somehow stumbled upon midwifery and knew that this was how birth should be.

And soo…here I am pursuing my hearts desire.
