In awe.

I had the privilege of encapsulating for a first time mom recently, and I'm in complete awe of this woman. She had a vaginal birth with a baby OVER 12 lbs! First baby! Amazing! Her placenta was thick and healthy, and yielded 100 more capsules than the average fresh prep - plenty of placenta medicine to save for a rainy day. It was so nice to speak with her and congratulate her on such a feat - our bodies are made to birth! And big babies bring big placentas with them - what a lovely gift for mama ;)
