Saying Goodbye to A.J.

One of the most significant women in Emmett's short life (besides his mom) was A.J. the doula. A.J. was on the scene minutes after Emmett was born to help his mom with breastfeeding, comforting him, recognizing his cues, and making sure mom and dad were getting enough sleep. Without A.J., mom and dad would not be nearly as confident as they are today. Her time with Emmett and his parents has come to an end after about four weeks of support. It had to happen, but Emmett has mixed feelings about losing his cuddle time with A.J.
