Lawrence Gabriel
7lbs 3oz
19 inches long.

When Riley and Gabriel became pregnant with their first baby, they knew they wanted to plan to labor and birth at home. With lots of family who had previous home births, they were fully supported and confident that this was the best decision for them. They jumped in to start preparing both mentally and physically to meet their sweet baby.

When labor started for Riley, it was a beautiful progression. Early laboring throughout the day as her body began to prepare to bring her baby earthside. When active labor started, Riley did such a great job remaining calm and peacefully working her way forward. Gabriel was such an encouragement and rock for Riley. Just over two hours of active labor and sweet Lawrence was born so gently into his loving parents arms. What a beautiful day it was for this sweet family.

Thank you, Riley and Gabriel, for allowing us to be a part of your birth story🫶🏻

After walking through a journey of loss & heartache, Ruth & Seth knew Gods faithfulness would prevail. They welcomed their sweet little blessing several weeks ago. Ruth has now welcomed all 3 of her earthly babies in the comfort of her home & we were so honored to be a part of this birth .

Such a special moment as this sweet mama brought this baby in to her arms. Surrounded by her family & birth team. Her husband such a rock & support. This baby was long awaited for, heavily prayed over & welcomed with so much love. What an honor to be invited in to this special & sacred space

Thank you Ruth & Seth for allowing us to be a part of your birth story 🫶🏻

The night before last we welcomed our last little October baby.

This month we have had the honor and privilege of walking alongside FOURTEEN families as they have brought their babies earth side.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think this would be my life. Supporting mamas in the most vulnerable places. Against all odds. Against social norms. God has continued to not only sustain my soul, but also this little dream He placed on my heart a little over 5 years ago.

So thankful for this. For you families who support & pray for us. For Midwife Kendra & all the good & blessings she has brought to WWM. For my family who makes so many sacrifices for me to walk out this calling. To my many sweet friends who I get to work alongside.

October 20th was our 5 year anniversary here at WWM. May the next 5 years be as good as the last🫶🏻

When Midwife Kendra & Midwife Jordan show up to a birth together wearing the same shoes.

Yes, we each have our own personalities (if you know us, you know😂), but we are also alike in so many ways.

The way our care just flows together, complementing each other so perfectly. The way we lift each other. The way we support each other as we support our mamas.

We often get told we can just look at each other and know what the other is thinking.

So thankful for the work we get to do together & the families we get to love on🫶🏻

These two brothers were just too cute today in their matching “big brother” and “little brother” shirts! 🥰 I wanted a picture with both of them since I was blessed to be present at both of their births.

Big brother insisted on being in the photo but only if he could sit under my chair! So, I got down on his level, and it made me smile thinking about how often we midwives do the same thing; getting down, leaning over, squatting, or kneeling to meet mamas right where they are to catch their babies 🫶🏻

Today, on October 15, we pause to remember the little ones we never got to hold. Pregnancy and infant loss leaves a silent ache, but we hold fast to the truth that God is near to the brokenhearted.

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

To all who grieve: you are not forgotten. Your child is known to Him. May God’s peace surround you today, and may His presence bring comfort beyond what words can say.

This chunky 11lb 14oz baby joined us this morning, brought earthside by his amazingly strong mama.

This is our seventh baby born within the last 10 days.

Today, we are just so thankful. I know we say it a lot, but we truly do have the best “jobs”.

We are thankful for these families that we get to meet in these sacred spaces, as well as our families who help make this work possible for us.

Blessed for the divine guidance of these hands.

The hands that cradle a mother's heart when she discovers she's expecting a cherished baby, and comforts those who've faced loss too soon.

The hands that gently palpate a mother’s belly, checking on sweet baby's position & feel growing life.

The hands that welcome new life as babies transition earth side.

The hands that pray over each and every birth.

We're grateful for the gentle guidance our hands provide & for the One who guides them🫶🏻

National Midwifery Week 🤍

This week we pause to celebrate the calling on our lives and the one Who called us.

Every birth we attend is a reminder of God’s beautiful design, His timing, and His presence in such a sacred space. We are humbled and grateful to serve families in such intimate moments, trusting that He equips us for this work.

What an honor to be His hands in this holy work of midwifery. What an honor to serve with a dear friend and sister in Christ.

✨ To God be the glory for every healthy cry, every strong mama, and every miracle we’re blessed to witness.

🌿 Benefits of a Home Birth with a Licensed Midwife

Choosing a home birth means trusting your body, your baby, and your birth team. With a licensed home birth midwife by your side, you get personalized, evidence-based care in the comfort of your own home.

✨ Benefits include:

1. Individualized, Relationship-Based Care
From your first prenatal visit to postpartum care, your midwife truly knows you. Appointments are unhurried, holistic, and centered on your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

2. Comfort of Home
You’re free to move, eat, rest, and birth in the environment where you feel safest and most relaxed. Feeling safe and supported can help labor progress more smoothly and reduce the need for interventions.

3. Evidence-Based, Safe Care
Licensed home birth midwives are trained professionals skilled in supporting normal physiological birth and identifying when medical care is needed. They bring medical equipment for both mother and baby and are trained in emergency response.

4. Low Intervention Rates
Without routine hospital interventions, home birth supports the natural rhythm of labor. Research shows that healthy, low-risk women attended by licensed midwives at home experience fewer inductions, epidurals, and cesarean births.

5. Family-Centered Experience
Your birth, your way. Partners, siblings, and loved ones can be as involved as you wish, creating a calm and intimate start for your baby’s life.

6. Seamless Postpartum Care
Your midwife continues to provide follow-up care by monitoring your healing, supporting breastfeeding, and checking in on your baby transitioning to life outside of the womb.

7. Empowerment and Trust
Birthing at home with a licensed midwife honors birth as a normal and powerful event, not a medical emergency. Families often describe their experience as deeply empowering and transformative.

Spending my Saturday restocking my birth bags as we go into our busiest season yet! Each piece has a place. Each item represents a tool that may or may not be needed, but is always carried in preparation for the sacred work ahead.

This year has also been the busiest year for our practice! Spending this time reflecting on growth, not just in the number of babies born, but in the strength of the families, the confidence of our team, and our personal growth both clinically and spiritually.

The heart of home birth midwifery is simple, we bring the birth center to your home! Safety, skill, calm, and compassion all tucked neatly into these bags that travel from one birth space to another.

As I zip them up, ready for the next call, I feel so much gratitude. For the mothers who labor courageously. For the partners who pour out love and support. For the babies who make their way earthside. For our birth assistants who put their heart into their work. For our Heavenly Father and His provision. And for the incredible privilege of being invited into these once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Here’s to a busy season, a growing practice, and bags full of readiness for wherever the next birth journey takes us 🫶🏻
