I won't be posting as much this year just due to shifting priorities but I had to come on here and just say - where else can you hold week old kittens while getting an IUD put in!? 🐱😍

Sound bath, anyone?

Defined as a meditative experience where you're immersed in deep, vibrational sounds from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes to promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, improve mood, and support well-being, essentially "bathing" your body and mind in soothing frequencies. Participants lie or sit comfortably (or...labor their baby down), listening as practitioners create layers of sound, leading to a state of inner calm, much like deep meditation. 💫

Guess how many boys live in this house?! I'll give you a hint! One more was added last night! 🥰

Isn't it amazing that testing has advanced so far to allow us to discover a baby's gender as early as 6 weeks? I charge $100 and offer this to anyone - not just Rockwall Birth clients. 🙂

My favorite time of year to do home visits is definitely around Christmas time!

Teaching swaddling on baby Yoda ... To my sister in law as she preps for the arrival of her first baby! ((This is what I do in my free time & I love it!))

Well this is good news if you ask me!

Yesterday, an advisory committee officially recommended that protocols should change so that decision-making for giving the hepatitis B vaccine at birth to the newborn should be based on the individual - and if mothers test negative for the virus, there is no need to give the vaccine at birth to the baby. This still would need to be adopted by the CDC Director to become a part of the official vaccine schedule, but it's getting people talking and fighting for autonomy and common sense in healthcare.

I'd say this is a WIN because I love nothing more than when we take women off of the "conveyor belt care" and look at individual risk and individual preferences when making health decisions.

Its sweater weather! If that also means you experience hot and stinky armpits...read on!

I don't give a lot of medical advice on here, but I wanted to share something my sister taught me a few months ago.

Chlorhexidine aka hibiclens is an OTC strong soap that kills and suppresses odor-causing bacteria...and really, really works!

For best results, smear a small sq**rt in your armpits and let it stay on for a minute or two before washing it off. Repeat every 2-3 days! I've been experimenting with this and the results are incredible! They even sell it in a foam pump option. It also can help with acne. 🙂

How cute is this?

This mama went to a "make your own bingo card night" with her girlfriends. She delivered her son last night and shared she didnt quite get all the boxes knocked out beforehand, but I think that's a relevant metaphor for the birthing process. It's wise to make a plan and set goals, but it's important to be flexible and realistic about checking ALL the boxes. ✨

Thankful for these homes and stories I get to step into. Humbled by the privilege of being there for the first breath of their newest little love. It never gets old. 💕
