Some sweet final visits today! How fast the time goes

Welcome baby Mason! Another nice quick butter birth for us, we got the swing shift again. ☺️ Once upon a time this mama was told by a local OB that she would likely never fit a baby through her pelvis… but look at her go! :) Her biggest baby yet, Mason weighed 7lb 7oz and measured 21 inches long, and is welcomed with love by his big brother and sister. Congratulations Megan and Landon!

Welcome baby Joel! He had such a quick and sweet butter birth, and slipped out so gently into his mamas hands in the water we hardly realized he’d been born. ☺️ Gotta love those easy peaceful third babies. He weighed 7lb. 9oz. and is welcomed with love by his very enthusiastic siblings Levi and Elli. Congratulations Krysta and Seth!

Welcome baby Kaleb! He was our first March due date, yet he decided to wait to be the last of our four babies born in three and a half days. 🥰 His sweet family worked so hard and well with a couple tricky circumstances, and really persevered with lovely support. Kaleb needed a little time for his pulmonary system to relax after birth, hence you see him swaddled in a big pot of warm water for a bit, which made for cute photo ops. This often works really well for those babies with a bit of tachypnea and borderline low oxygen saturation, to help move them through that transient phase faster, and sometimes reduces our need for CPAP or other ongoing oxygen support. It worked so well in his case, he really relaxed into it with some big yawns and soon his respirations and SP02 normalized. This was one of those births you hope for, where all your weird midwife tricks seem to work! 🤪☺️ Kaleb is a robust little guy weighing in at 9lbs. 2oz, and is welcomed with love by his big brother Koen! Congratulations Katie and Marcus!

After a night of sleep, we were so pleased to get a call to head to this sweet butter birth! When you know you won’t have time to fill a birth tub, sometimes your home bath is the next best place. Little Miss Elsie made short work of the trip earthside, and I got to work my favorite shift, midnight to 4:30 ☺️ She evened up the score for her family who now have two boys and two girls, and her big sister was more than thrilled! Elsie weighed 7lbs.15oz and was also Hannah’s final catch she needed to be able to send in her paperwork for testing! So proud of her, she’s already an excellent midwife!! Congratulations Elizabeth and Eli on your sweet baby girl!

In keeping with our musical chair style birth week, our last March due date came out second! Welcome baby Joseph! He worked so well with his mama, finding his way, and made a victorious entrance a few hours after my first birth of the day. His mama showed such great perseverance and grit with a challenging labor and this sweet guy was a lovely reward! He was welcomed with love by his enthusiastic siblings Eddie and Mia, and weighed 6lbs 15oz. Congratulations Maegan and Andy!

Welcome baby Lewis! Our third March due date, he decided to burst the baby bubble and come out first in line. :) He wasted no time and made quick work of labor, which was so fortunate, since baby number two also summoned me just before he was born. Thanks to some excellent teamwork I was able to make it to both births, and we got a pair of birthday buddies! Baby Lewis was welcomed by his adorable big brother Weston and weighed 8lbs. 2ounces. Congratulations Petra and Stephen on another wonderful son!
