Happy birthday Arielle and birthing day to her mother.

I still get that same feeling with every new birth, even though the first I witnessed was back in 2001.

Arielle weighed 2263 grams and I can almost imagine she was smiling.

Giving Birth

Even after “catching” hundreds of babies (“Delivering” babies in more medical terms even though all the work is done by the birthing mother), till this day, I still feel giving birth is a “miracle”.

I still experience the same overwhelming feeling I had witnessing my first delivery back in the American University of Beirut Medical Center in 2001.

I owe a lot of respect all womyn who gave birth. You are blessed with the fortune of delivering miracles.
