📖 Her Life Verse 📖
The tradition began with a great-grandmother, then a grandmother & grandfather, then a mother & father, and now, a newborn daughter.
“Will you print her footprints in our Bible?” Yes, of course. Can’t wait to see who this little one becomes. 💗 Congratulations! 🍾 💗

Neonatal Resuscitation Recertification ✅
How small is this world, you ask?
- walked into the class and into the arms and hugs of two long-time colleagues and friends
- bucket list surprise of getting to learn from Holly
- met a nurse who recently had a baby with a far-away physician colleague who attended clinicals and births with me out of hospital 14 years ago!
- met a nurse who played a special part a Sage family’s life and 1000/10 would love to adopt her as a bff
- second time recertifying alongside Dr. Patterson, the head of Idaho’s American Academy of Pediatrics, whose rural medicine tips, tricks, and experience rival the heart of community-based midwifery, and dare I say, we are all doing the same work with the same passion and the same goals!
- my NRP scenarios being carried out in positions, with equipment, and within the scope of my practice, including using a test chart on my EMR, to practice and demonstrate NRP
- seeing hospital-based providers learn more about midwifery, share concerns, ask genuine questions, and leave with better understanding of community-based birth: priceless

✨Homebirth After Cesarean✨
She writes,
“This is what it looks like to deeply trust in something other than yourself. To let go of the pressure that you have to hold it together and have the strength within yourself. But rather, to deeply trust in a God who will provide the right people and situation for what you need. Who will give you rest when you need rest, encouragement when you need it, and redemption when you offer it all back to Him.

Tears of gratitude. Gratitude for the ability to surrender to something so so good.

You can’t sell a home birth or midwifery care, but I would pay a lot for the gifts that it brought my faith and marriage.”

We were blessed to share another incredible homebirth with a hospital-based maternity care provider. 💗 Unforgettable.
🌟Holly Kifer, CNM
🌟University of Michigan Health, Midwifery Service
“As a CNM I believe in normal physiological birth. In my 8.5 years practicing, I had never been fortunate enough to experience birth outside the hospital. Being a part of my friend’s home birth gave me so much perspective! Not only is it safe, but it is supportive and magical. There was no in and out of a room, beeping machines or loud voices. Instead, there was a calm environment, low supportive voices, and physiologic birth advancing on its own, without constant cervical checks or continuous fetal monitoring. There were fetal heart tone checks, emergency supplies, and a competent midwife with her team assessing the wellbeing of the expectant parents and baby. After birth, there was focus on baby bonding and breastfeeding while still maintaining safety of monitoring for extra bleeding or complications. A repair was done and vitals were taken in the comfort of a personal bed while food was prepared. I am so grateful to have been able to be there for my friend’s homebirth and even more grateful for her birth team.”
At Holly’s hospital, all healthy mothers are discharged within 4-6 hours after birth, and babies are discharged soon after that. Then, her midwifery service rounds on both mother and baby, at home, for their 24 hour visit. They also perform a newborn assessment and all the newborn screenings. How cool is that?! We will never forget this special birth, Holly’s first home birth, and the wonder and awe of seeing her experience birth in a whole new way. She cried. And we cried because she cried. May this birth be forever written on her heart and may the way it changed her forever trickle into all the births she attends for the rest of her blessed career. We love you, Auntie Midwife Holly!

Your husband holds you in his arms as you birth your baby into the hands of your mother (far left) while your three teenage siblings (on the right), including your little brother, cheer you on. This is family-centered homebirth. This is re-writing birth traditions for generations to come. Welcome to a new little soul who is only a few hours old. You have so many happy people guiding your path with light and love. Congratulations!

Grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Idaho Board of Nursing. Today was Nurse’s Day at the state capitol and as a board, once our meeting concluded, we shifted to the capitol to support the nurses, talk with them, and even attend a Senate Health & Welfare committee meeting. Though I don’t have a photo, it was extra fun to run into a family friend, Senator Taylor, while there. (He is a long-time midwifery and Medicaid supporter and advocate to boot) I love nurses and how they keep Idaho’s health system functioning. Personally and professionally, there will never be enough thanks. I honor you all for your wonderful work.

I spoke quietly with one of my student midwives this afternoon. “It all came flooding back. Every second of the birth, drawing cord blood, holding that vial, driving to their home to give the diagnosis in person.” She replied, “I woke up crying. I stood in the sunrise and cried.”
This evening we went to a first birthday party for a baby girl whose photo display showed months one, two, three, four, five, six, and then ended at seven months. Each time I looked at it, I cried.
I watched angel baby Gracie’s mama bravely light her birthday candles. Each time she would pause and take a deep breath, before moving onto the next step in the celebration. The room was shoulder-to-shoulder with support.
I’m home now. And what is flooding back is the miracles….every step of the way in Gracie’s life, many of which were supported and orchestrated by the greater Sage community in huge and quiet ways. Bone marrow registrants, blood donation, food and drinks, moving them into a new home (including their pediatrician helping), no less than one hundred billion prayers, every spare thought of love and concern, t-shirts, keepsakes, and an army of services and labor to celebrate her life exactly how her parents envisioned.
Please remember baby Gracie and her family for forever. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) may have claimed her, but she lives in the hearts of every person who chose to know her story. Happy birthday in heaven, baby Gracie! We miss you.

Happy first birthday, Bryce! I will never forget your mother’s courageous journey of facing prior birth trauma and loss and channeling it into purpose. To your mama, may the memory of this day continue to bring meaning to your life. It was an honor to be beside you as you reclaimed what was yours. And to your doula and the midwife who helped birth assist, 💗💗💗💗💗

💙 In Memory of Uriah 💙
Uriah was due this week. I was his grandma’s midwife many years ago and being chosen and trusted to serve Uriah’s parents will always be one of the most sacred roles I have ever fulfilled. While striving for excellent health and detailed prenatal care can often make a huge difference, sometimes it cannot. Sometimes we are all simply at the mercy of a placenta. It was more than growth restriction - the blood flow was going the wrong direction. MFM prepared us to lose him within two weeks, so we spent every second making memories. Three days later, Uriah’s parents paged and we listened and looked for the heartbeat that had already left us. We asked Dr Lliteras for support and in doing so, met nurse Abbey. Uriah was Abbey’s first loss. She shifted her schedule to come back and be present for Uriah’s birth two days later. Dr Anstine and nurse Sam allowed me be Uriah’s midwife, placing him in his mother’s arms for the first time. He looked just like his parents. Soon after, we watched Uriah’s mother fade rapidly, in what the specialists suspect was atypical HELLP syndrome. A circle of 8 physicians gathered to save her life. We captured memories and keepsakes, we prayed, we cried, and we witnessed miracles - the greatest miracle being that Uriah’s mother lived! Because of Uriah, we are forever changed. We think of him every day. We pray for his family. We miss him. And we are better midwives because of him and because of all the specialists who taught us, minute by minute. A Daisy award is unworthy of the care and compassion nurses Abbey and Sam provided. We were honored to be included in this birth in our respective roles and are humbled to know that the nurses continue to provide some of the techniques we used to help other families have more time with their stillborn babies. Uriah’s parents joined us for lunch this week and we listened as they shared with us the ways they see the world differently - how they are extra gracious to those around them or in a rush, how they have learned to assume people are going through things much bigger than we can see, and the value of the life of a mother. We will never forget you, baby Uriah!
