Welcome to Foothills newest baby!

Zecharayah comes from the Hebrew name Zekharyāh (זְכַרְיָה), which means: “The Lord has remembered” or “God remembers”

I've been so fortunate to have been a part of his three older siblings births too!

Fresh Tests are in! The Birth Cottage keeps this alternative option to the Glucola drink for gestational diabetes testing in the house.

This is an FDA approved test. To be honest, I don't hold the FDA to a super high standard - but what that does mean is that your obstetric provider and the lab who runs your screening can feel confident that it can be used as an equivalent to the Glucola.

Anyone in the community can purchase from s, not just Foothills client - send us a text to make sure we're in the office! 360-226-2362

Here's some info directly from Fresh Test:

Just over 8 weeks ago, sweet Leia chose her perfect BIRTHday! What a beautiful day it was. Her mama envisioned a gentle, calm, empowering birth, and she truly manifested every bit of it.

We spent the day working with her body, honoring rest, honoring pauses, and honoring joy, which allowed labor to unfold peacefully, intuitively, and without rush.

Welcome earth-side, Leia.
