I’m a Neonatal ICU RN & Lactation Consultant who assisted with hundreds of births in the OR. I adored being a part of the moment a family first met their baby. This is wonderful and amazing! I assisted in my nephews who were premature twins birth and cared for them, my godchildren, my friends and just about everyone I went to schools,with growing up. In my 20s & 30s, it almost weekly ended up in deliveries of old friends and schoolmates. It was just really lovely to be there in their happy moments.
