Day 22: Place of Care/Birth

October 22, 2012 ♥

Day 22. Place of Care/Birth: The place that looked after your you whilst you were pregnant. Share a photo of those who took care of you and your baby. This could be a midwife/doula/friend/partner.

The photo on the top is of the REX Birthing Center at the Hospital where Lily was delivered in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. There is a building right next to it where I went to all my appointments while pregnant with Lily. The doctor I had has not left a good memory. But, the nurses I had when I gave birth to Lily were so compassionate and caring. I will forever remember their faces and names, Lainey and Shannon.

The photo on the bottom is of my mom and I at Lily's Celebration of LIFE Service on March 27, 2010. She has been my greatest support on this journey of being pregnant with and losing Lily. She was there for me when I found out I was expecting a baby. She was there for me at the hospital as I awoke in the night crying from the depths of my being. She made all the funeral and burial arrangements when I felt I had no strength to. She continues to be there for me and remember her precious first granddarling, Lily Katherine, even when the rest of the world seems to be forgetting. I am so thankful to have her in my life.
