Happy Mother’s Day, to all those who have mothered me, to all those I have mothered, to those who have been mothered alongside me.

Forever grateful for the one who made me a Mother.

May your day be what you want or need it to be today. Much love.

The final touch on preparations for baby’s arrival, the diaper change + breastfeeding caddy. Full of diapers, wipes, nursing pads, burp cloths, hand sanitizer + lotions + ointments for the both of us, snacks + gum, hair ties + chapstick.

What supplies did you keep handy in your early days postpartum?

Exciting news! A new little possum is on the way this spring!

Before settling in to nesting & preparing for this new season, baby & I travelled to Brazil to learn from in her training “The Art of Birth”.

I’m feeling so full of gratitude for her teachings, for the connection & support of every other participant, and for the marvelous experience of a lifetime! Absolutely magical to enrich my own pregnancy with the love & kindness & wisdom that poured out of this community.

And! While I’m not currently supporting others through their own pregnancies & births & postpartum times, I’m so excited to bring what I’ve learned through this training to more families & babies in the future! Stay tuned for future offerings! ❤️

Labor + birth are unpredictable. We can’t know what will happen. Or how it will happen. Or when it will happen. We roll with the changes, trying to stay open to what comes.
With shifting plans + expectations throughout pregnancy, throughout labor, a beautiful birth straddled the transition from Thursday to Friday.

First birth of June arrived on June 10. Slow in some moments, intense in others. We rolled with the process + baby was born on a beautiful morning.
