one more crucial thing this week

I forgot to mention earlier one very, very beautiful thing that happened this week. A client with whom I'd spent several hours early in her pregnancy had her child on Thursday--a precious baby girl! I had no assurances for quite some time that she wasn't going to abort her. After she had an ultrasound done at the center, she went to two other centers for support, still on the fence, not committing to having her child. (She lived and worked closer to them.) Others eventually helped convince her. It was one big giant joint effort from all of us!

This news was the exclamation point on my pregnancy center work tenure. It is a story of just how it should always happen: multi-center support from caring people, baby born! It was absolutely the best way to end my time there.
