******************************************
Squishy newborn head emerging from the birth canal
Rhythmic Pulsing if the umbilical cord
Strong kicks of newborn feet as I try to stretch him out to measure length
Reassuring thump thump when finding the sweet spot with the Doppler
Team
Reading my cues, knowing what to do
Laughter
**********************************************
Mama breathes her baby down
Music softly plays
Grandma sways
Dog stands guard
The aroma of herbal bath fills the room
Expectations
Waiting
Love
***********************************************
I look around the room and I see
Hands holding, comforting, supporting
I meet eyes knowing, trusting, longing
I feel the fear, pain, exhaustion
Love thick like chocolate pudding.
