This was shared in our Birth Without Fear Support group tonight. It made me smile after a long day. I’d share it on FB, but it would be removed, so I will share it with you here (with mama’s permission). This is Linda’s son at 12 months and it just screams ADORABLE! Have your little ones put themselves into any…

Her and her husband are amazing and the support he gave her during this Father’s Day birth is beautiful. Grab your tissue and enjoy. Every woman should have the opportunity to experience birth like this. ~January “One year…
