My goodness. This mama has had experience with the unpredictability that can come with birth. A 4th babe for this mama, she was planning and preparing beautifully for a VBAC after her last babe came at 33 wks and she decided to be bum first.

This time, mama was sure to eat and hydrate well. She kept stress in a manageable place and she researched like an FBI agent to prepare and fully understand the risks/benefits of a VBAC.

When 33 wks came and went it was a relief to pass the timeframe when her last babe came. But with a position check ultrasound, it was discovered this babe followed in her sister’s foot steps with a breech position. Mama did everything. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING to turn this babe. She was scheduled for a external cephalic version at KH for this coming Friday to encourage baby to turn head down. She had been going in for ultrasounds to monitor her amniotic fluid and on this last scan it showed almost no fluid was left for babe. This meant it was time to be born and due to baby being persistently breech, it meant a repeat cesarean.
The cesarean went smoothly, and baby was able to come to mama’s chest to meet and snuggle🤍 Then after a few minutes of observation, baby showed she needed some closer care. And eventually needed some time in the NICU.

This is difficult as it brings up so much from the last birth. Mom and dad are navigating this beautifully, but their hearts are reminding them that this is a familiar road. Please send love and prayers as they navigate this difficult road again and find strength to do this through the holidays with their 3 older kiddos at home.

This was a surprise gender birth and dad got to announce a 4th girl for their family🤍 They are doing incredible work raising strong independent ladies and she will fit in perfectly with the all estrogen at home🤍

Miss Elise Renae was born December 22nd, 2025 @ 6:00pm sharp. She weighed 6 # 3oz and stands 19.5” tall. She is beautiful, and even has some chub on her for being a bit early. She has stolen her mama’s heart and I can feel the strength they share.

I am taken aback once again with the ability this family has to navigate challenges. Their strength in their partnership is incredible and will be their compass through this.
Miss Elise we love you big! Keep up your feisty ways until you can break out… you chose one incredible family and they can’t wait to snuggle you🤍

As always, I am do grateful for the loving care from KH. They guided this family so well over the last couple of weeks on the safest way to get Elise here, and cont to love and care for them now that she is here. Thank you🙏

These two mamas gave opted to keep their birth stories. One was born while I was away and one born this week. Both first time mamas to little girls and their ability to navigate welcoming their sweet babes was awe inspiring. What a beautiful thing it is watching you both transform into motherhood 🤍

Birth is Wild. I truly believe the best way to prepare is through doing the most you can for your body, and finding the strength, emotionally, to invite flexibility and surrender. This Mama did just that.
In a cozy home at the top of a mountain, labor started. She was peaceful & joyful.
Then there was a heart tone check that let us know baby had some things to say. We weren’t quite sure what it was, but we definitely listened. We drove down the mountain toward the hospital and the entire way Baby regulated with no further heart tone out of place. We decided to come to my home, to be close to the hospital and continue to monitor baby while labor progressed.
I’m still not sure what Baby was trying to tell us, but it sure was a joy to welcome a sweet baby girl in our home.
It wasn’t long before mom was pushing. She was fierce and strong and allowed the intensity to wash over her. We decided a position change was in order, she stood while we were readying the Chux pads and suddenly Baby decided to come. Smoothly and quickly Baby eased earth side. Shortly after came placenta, then we tucked her into the clinic room bed.
After some time, bleeding picked up. And though we have the needed medications and tools at home to manage this, I was grateful to be close to a hospital while managing. So though we don’t know why baby was telling us to be closer to town, I will forever be thankful for her guidance🤍

Baby Celine Josephine was born wise beyond her years on November 23, 2025. She weighed 8 # 15oz and stood 21” tall.

Oh mama. You are the epitome of strength. You understand the grit this life takes and you lean in. With humility and tenderness. It has been a deep joy to walk with you again 🤍 thank you for letting me be your midwife.

For those of you wondering what it takes to get Madeleine at your birth, it takes the perfect timing from babe due to her husband’s schedule aaaannd family relation😂 man, oh man, was it great to work with you again! Love you so🤍

thank you for coming in clutch to help support us and this mama, you are the best!

There are always ebbs and flows to everything in this life, but I will tell you. This girl is flowing! She has taken great strides in her confidence and seems to take in and solidify skills thrown her way. Even though it’s very part time, you are adding a lot to this practice! Keep going, this community needs more midwives🤍

This was just a lovely day. Truly lovely.

Baby girl decided to camp out a little longer than mama wanted, so we started the morning with the midwife’s brew. And in a few hours contractions started.
I came and checked on mom and baby, set up, left for a short time and when I returned, active labor was in full swing. We continued to talk and laugh between contractions and listen to an incredible play list. It was a perfect way to welcome a baby🤍

I called Emily and Shaylee to come as the labor shift continued.
It was so special to watch this couple labor together. She eased into contractions with grace, he provided counter pressure and unwavering support.

Contractions continued to intensify and it was time for the relief of water. She was so present throughout her labor and describes that she could feel baby maneuvering down through her pelvis.

She made a noise that told me pushing was warming up so I put my gloves on and crouched near the pool. She looked at me as if to say, “Oh good. Your near. It’s time.” She pushed a couple of times and baby girl was here. Triple wrapped in her cord and happy as can be. Dad helped get baby to mom and it was instant love for the 3 of them.

Baby Olivia Marie was born November 2nd at 4:25pm. She weighed 8 # 2oz and stood 21.5” tall. She joins 4 sisters that were delighted she is here🤍

You are one incredibly strong woman. And it is sure special to get to be your midwife again🤍

How did you become so steady? You are young with the wisdom of a sage matriarch. You manage health, stress, marriage and motherhood as if you have had decades of experience. But you have barely lived for 2 decades! What a gift you are to these babies you are raising🤍

You all know the “1st babies may come overdue, 2nd babes come closer to their due dates.” Welp. The end of this 2nd pregnancy called for patience. And a little more patience. And a little more. Even being the logical, poised person she is, she was definitely thinking… “will this baby ever come?!?”

She did great work to encourage baby to move to a good anterior position. Got an adjustment, and practiced a Miles circuit. Then…

The call came in at 41 wks and 4 days. Her body was ready and her baby was ready.

I arrived to the sweetest scene her husband at her side giving counter pressure. Her sweet toddler was delicately prancing around. Loving on her mama between contractions and getting ready for grandma to come pick her up. It was so precious.

Contractions were coming steadily and we set up the birth pool. Sweet older sister watched in excitement and was just as sweet when it was time to go. Mamas contractions continued to intensify. She sunk into them and tuned the world out. From my perspective, it was her, her partner and the rest of the world faded out…

When the pushing urge came on, it was intense. She worked hard through contractions and rested well in between. And soon… baby was born, into his daddy’s hands…

He was here, he was perfect. And it was like he always was🤍

Mr. Hugh Alaric was morning on October 23, 2025 @ 6:24am weighed 8 # 7oz and stood 22” tall. He continued a bit to be on his own schedule, and I sometimes call him “late to the party”. But man, oh man, is he worth the wait! I bet he will forever be the funnest guy at the party once he arrives🤍

Thank you thank you for letting us be your midwives. You are a true joy to walk with🤍

I struggle sometimes to understand why things happen the way they do. Like when life is at its craziest. And your oldest kids are grown. And you’re swirling to understand how to go forward. Then…. You get a positive pregnancy test, because you needed another big unknown to walk through. Oy.

But each and every time there is a perfect reason.

I hadn’t heard from this mama in some years and when the phone call came in that she was surprisingly pregnant again it was like no time had passed.

We spent the beginning of pregnancy working to wrap her head around all the unknowns that life was throwing her. I remember the appointment when she walked in with a whole new essence. She was done letting tough things in. She was a boundary drawing fool. And from then on, she protected her peace aggressively.

I watched her get deeper and deeper in connection with her pregnancy and baby. She was warmly ready to welcome this baby girl. And my goodness was it sight!

She called with some uterine activity and it was time to come. Emily and I got to their home to set up as dad filled the pool.

She slipped in and you could see her level down. Things were shifting swiftly and she was following her body’s cues. She peacefully labored in the corner of her bedroom where welcoming affirmations hung to encourage her to feel the calm during labor.

Then a noise. I stepped off the bed grabbed gloves and knelt close. She looked up and thought “no, it’s not glove time, is it??” And within minutes her baby was in daddy’s arms and being lifted to mama’s chest.

She did it. She made it through the storm with this little babe being her compass. There is no doubt this baby is here as a reminder to pause and remember what’s beautiful, even in the midst of life’s curveballs🤍

Miss Brigid Astrid was born on October 22nd @ 5:33 pm. She weighed 8 # even and stood 21.5” tall. She is a 7th baby for this amazing family.

She was surrounded by love from her oldest siblings and her grandparents as soon as mom was back to bed. This family knows how to love🤍

This little one is the cheese to her mama’s macaroni and I tell you they are the perfect fit. Just as it was supposed to be🤍

As I am planning to take some time away, I am realizing that the things I am deeply craving are starting to be needs. I need to cherish this last three years that I have my daughter home. To be able to take a weekend trip with my husband. To be a present friend. Initially, I thought… some time away will be just the ticket!

But with deeper conversations with my husband, I don’t think a break is really what I’m needing. It’s time to work toward these needs becoming my norm. So with that…

**Your Nest will be closing permanently in August 2026.**

This is not a sad announcement! This has given opportunity to reflect on so many amazing moments and celebrations. You and your families mean the world to me and I am so proud of the work we’ve done together.

Thank you for what will be almost 5 years of Your Nest! This has been more than I ever could have dreamed and is the highlight of my time as a midwife. I am grateful for each and every one of you and our time together🤍
