 This month I would like to introduce you to one of my Bradley Method® colleagues, Zabrina Pell. She is a wonderful instructor, and as you will read, a doula and a lactation educator. I hope you will enjoy getting to know her through her interview.

The baby you have always dreamed of is here!
They are precious, tiny, and completely dependent on you! You cherish the opportunity to nourish them,
teach them, and wait for the day when they begin to interact with you by
smiling at you, making and keeping eye contact, your first shared laugh
together…all of these moments are priceless.
I got a call from a student tonight that brought to mind this poem that I wrote for another student last year. I wanted to share it with you today in case any of you reading this need a reminder or the acknowledgement that you are amazing, miraculous and wonderfully made.
