This story is finally posted as we processed thoughts and pictures! We met this family very early even before this little one was on the way! They wanted to make informed and careful decisions putting so much thought into the birth team they hired for their second birth. When they did hire us it felt like the beginning of a wonderful friendship. For 9 months we grew together listening to mom's concerns and intuition. They included midwife Ivy in the gender reveal with the help of Dutch Brothers, so much fun! Jasper Wolfe 7lbs 7ozs! This beautiful little baby kept us all guessing on when he would come but when he did it was so fast that it took mom a little bit to realize she was so close to the finish line. Mom was very focused when our team arrived to her at 9cm and she claimed all of the strength needed to birth her baby. Dad was such a huge part of the success as he could almost anticipate mom's needs before she could voice them. She was incredibly strong and we are so appreciative of the trust this family gave us for their care. Jasper joins big brother Meeko who is the best big brother. Grow big and strong and God bless you little one. We adore this family. 💜🍋‍🟩🥧

This mom just has a quiet confidence that is a privilege to witness. When her water broke my assistant and I left mid clinic day and started driving to her. It became apparent from her texts we were not going to make it. Nurse Jen and I talked her through the birth . She stayed so calm and focused. We heard baby Wesley Seidler 8lbs 5 ozs. let out a cry and we took a deep breath also! We arrived to a very calm scene and were able to help with the placenta! Thank you for letting us be a part of your story. Moms Birth Story in her words✨

On April 3rd, I was 41 weeks pregnant, and supper ready to have a baby, but I didn't realize how ready he was to be born - this baby came FAST.
I spent most of my labor walking around the park at Family Engagement Day, thinking it was still going to take most of the day before baby was born. My mom and I left with the two younger kids as soon as they finished their Easter egg hunt, and my water broke right before I pulled into my driveway.
We were on the phone with my midwife, Ivy, while she was on her way to our house, and my mom was getting ready to catch the baby. Joe brought our older girls home from the park and got there right around the time baby's head was crowning, while I was trying not to push.
Our little Wesley was born at 2:29pm, about 22 minutes after I got home from the park. My mom did a great job helping him out and moving the cord away from his neck, and Ivy gave us the perfect amount of support and helped me feel confident my body could do whatever it needed to.
It was intense, and wonderful, and I'm so glad we got to be at home for all of it (and that he wasn't born at the park 😅). He is the most chill baby, and the perfect little addition to our family.

Ask me if you want to hear more details... I love talking birth stories. 😊

We adore this second time Eden family!!! Mom was amazing to watch in action. The whole family was such a team. Moms story below:
"Welcoming our newest little addition to our family, Delilah Jo 🩷 7 lbs 10 oz, born April 3rd after only around 2 hours of labor!
My last 2 girls were 20+ hour labors so I was preparing for the long haul with her. My midwife kept telling me that she was pretty low and positioned and she would likely come faster than I was thinking. Indeed, she was right! A few minutes after Tanner got home from work I started having light contractions that I assumed was early labor but I let my midwife and family know that things were starting but it wasn’t urgent so I would let them know when it got more intense. Well, it got intense very quickly and by the time they got to the house, I was very close to having a baby! Thank goodness my midwife, Ivy Warwick followed her intuition and let me know she should probably come sooner than later!!
Tanner was running around doing a million things to get everything ready including cooking me a steak since I wanted to make sure I had something good to eat before my “long” labor 🤣 Thankfully my mom and sisters were there too to help get things ready and set up the birth pool just in time! I was able to have the water birth at home I wanted and was laughing and talking through contractions up until the end. I am seriously still in shock at how quickly and smoothly everything went. No labor is easy, but in comparison to my last two, I’m not kidding when I say it was a breeze 😅

So far Delilah is the sweetest little thing and she always seems so serene. We are soaking up this newborn time as much as possible and enjoying every second. Our girls love her SO much and so do we. Our hearts are genuinely full 🩷

Welcome big guy Charles Andrew 10lbs7oz 24 in long! We have been blessed to serve this family several times! This mama has a history of Prodromal Labor and then an hour or less of active labor! We arrived to her house to see her walking around chatting and having a cx every 12-15 min. We thought we(the team) would give her some space and go do some errands. A nagging thought (Gods prompting)told me to offer a check to see if possible we were there to early. It revealed she was 9cm. She got into her Birth pool and had baby in 20 minutes. This mom has an athletes endurance for pain (College volleyball) and so much poise we were blown away when she pushed her baby out in only three pushes! Charlie joins an older Sister and Brother and brings so much joy to this family. God Bless you sweetest boy! ~Midwife Ivy

Welcome little one! Baby Meredith 8lbs 10oz joined her dad, mom and big sister! Big sister was so involved in the prenatal visits and took every opportunity to help! Mom labored so efficiently with dad's help and kept very centered. Her first birth was a bit longer so mom was surprised that she was nearing her goal so quickly after arriving at the Birth suite. Baby was born with both hands and a cord up by her face. After all, she was a very wiggly baby. We are so happy to have served this family. God bless you little Meredith as you grow big and strong! ~Midwife Ivy
