Do any of you have pictures of Zilmillia at your birth? She's building her doula website and looking for pictures to use.

Animal fat is good for you, it's all the processed /packaged stuff that harms your health.

A new meta-analysis just dropped, and once again, saturated fat takes center stage. But does the data actually support the decades-long warnings we've heard ...

Welcome baby Briella!

She was born to Charlene and Scott at their home in Dallas on November 11th.

She weighed in at 8lb, 7oz.

Charlene had two prior cesareans and came to us late in pregnancy looking for a VBAC provider. With good discussions and informed consent, she and we determined that we were a good fit, and she successfully pushed her baby out at home!

Charlene then had a postpartum hemorrhage due to a retained placenta, despite the medications that we carry. Maggie and Bailey transferred her to Salem Hospital, where they were able to get the placenta removed and control her bleeding.

We are so glad to be in an area where we have local resources for when complications come up.

We were also so glad to be able to get to know her and her family, and to be invited to witness her birthing her baby.

Birth attended by Maggie, Bailey, and Becca.

This has been a year of incredible change.

We are so grateful for the team we have and the ways we are invited to serve families in our area.

We continue to provide home birth, have a beautiful, busy birth center, and do prenatal care for moms planning hospital births (even planned Cesareans).

Thank you to our community for continuing to trust us with your care, and sticking with us as we grow and improve!

We love seeing this picture go around on Facebook every Christmas.

The look on her face as her baby emerged into Joseph's hands, a look that, as midwives we are humbled and blessed to witness often. The way the artist depicts her birthing standing, the power of God and the power of giving birth both in one picture.

Birth is awesome and beautiful no matter where it takes place. We've been asked to attend them in houses, converted sheds, RVs, hospital rooms, motels, and birth centers.

We come to the end of our year in awe of the power of women, and so grateful that we get invited in to witness the miracle of birth.

(It's very likely she had midwives or other women present also!)
