I know what you're going through. I've been through so much that I've probably been where you are. Expectant mother--with or without support, young, old, scared, excited, strong... I can see you. I can hear you. I understand where you are coming from. I know where you're going. Let me help you prepare for birth and motherhood, let me sense what you need and bring that to you, let me encourage and empower you. You have curiosity, you have fears, you also have a knowing deep inside of you. Your body made and grew this baby, your body will birth this baby, and your body can nourish and bring up this baby. If someone would just listen to you, hear you, trust you, help you, give you what you need, lift you up and hold you steady--you'll be able to do this. You can do this. I will hear you and do all I can to hold you up and give you what you need to do this job of bringing forth and bringing up. You are a work of heart. You have my support.
Expectant Dad, I know you may feel inadequate, or you may feel you've got this. You may be scared or electrified or both! No matter what you are feeling, I know you want what's best for your baby and your woman. That's why you are here-to see how to be the best support you can be, to find out what it is that she needs, to take into your own hands the well-being of the people who need and love you most. My job is to give you the resources and tools you need to ease her pain and burden, to lift her up and empower her, and to bring baby into this world as safely and gently as possible to form a foundation of trust--trust in you, trust that you'll do whatever it takes to be what they need, trust that you've got them. You do--You've got this. I will show you what they need from you and do my utmost to support you in this journey called life.
Friends and Family--I am so glad you are here. I am so glad that mom and dad to-be have your love and support--you are needed, you are appreciated, you are counted on, you are loved! Your being here shows your love and interest in their well-being. You want to do everything you can to give them a good start in raising their family--and I know you can't WAIT to kiss those baby cheeks and teach them everything you know! I am here to help you so that you can help them. May you be reassured that I can prepare you for what's to come so that you can be ready to step in and step up. I can give you the resources you need to love on them and support them. You can do it! I will do everything in my power to help.
