Amanda, you were there from the moment we were transferred to L&D to the moment our baby girl joined us in this crazy world. Never in a million years did I think my first pregnancy and delivery would go so quickly and smoothly. And I'd like to attribute all of that to you. Thank you. Thank you for making me feel safe. Thank you for making me feel comfortable. Thank you and for walking through every step of the way. Thank you for thoroughly explaining everything to me. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and strength to go on even when I thought I couldn't. Thank you for your warm smiles of assurance. Thank you for helping me through my epidural. Not only did you provide me with all the help, but you also helped my husband feel the same. I still remember (and will always remember) the trembling chill going down my very numb spine and my husband's blank stare when you announced at 6:05 PM "Ok, you're going to start pushing." You told me that you were going to lift a leg and he was going to lift the other. It was just the 3 of us! My husband and I were so scared and didn't know what we were doing. But you coached us every step of the way. I can still recall your calm voice as you prepped me to push with each contraction and counting. All of this until the doctor showed up. Then the team. It was chaos but I continued focusing on your voice. 6:55 PM our baby was born and just as your shift ends.
