This photo was taken when I was a Red Cross Volunteer and worked in Labor and Delivery as a Med Tech. I worked in L&D for 1 year at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. As a Tech, I provided the support of a Doula and much more. This is a photo of me holding up the new baby so that dad could take a picture. One of my many jobs was to get baby cleaned up and ready for mom. As a doula, I will not provide medical support.       This is me when I helped little Alyssandra out on 1/18/06! She really wanted a pacifier but there wasn't one to be found.......so.......I put on a glove (this is in Germany ....the glove looks like the kind the sandwich makers use to prepare sandwiches....he he!) and she sucked away on my finger. She was happy!           Closeup! Isn't she precious? Me with baby Olivia - January 21, 2008 Happy Birthday Olivia!
