more baby catching...

This was an awesome birth I attended with Dominga, one of the midwives in my class. She taught me sooo much about traditional practices in Mayan midwifery. And the mama was such a trooper...17, first baby, 8-hour labor, not a single whimper. The women here are so stoic during labor it is truly incredible.





Me and baby Xela.










Warrior mama!
