4-Kavina's Birth Perspective (9 years old)
03/22/23 • 36 min
In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing my oldest and 9-year-old daughter Kavina about her being present at her sibling's births. She was an active part of the team during both of the births. Once at just 4 years old and once and 8 years old. She mentions the good, the bad, and the ugly!
