We began our day the best way we know...running along the beach at low tide and doing 100 squats....even if it kills Helen!!!
We visited The PACE program for teenage pregnant girls this afternoon and they lapped up all we had to share...information and supplies....Thank you Robin Merrill for the baby clothes because the girls already picked out what they wanted to take before the session was over. These gals were aged 15 to 17 and either were pregnant or had just given birth. They were also dressed in a black uniform and clearly wanted to be integrated back to their past lives.
Ironically the woman we helped birth her 3rd baby today was only 22 years old with her first child being 9 years old....you do the math!!! She was alone though and we gave her support, she was not ready to go into labour and we gave her encouragement, she had dinner on the stove and wanted to go home and finish it as she did not believe what was happening to her and we validated everything she felt.
Trying times for us but we welcome the challenge for sure.
