🄚✨ A Rare Look at the Human Egg! ✨🄚

Did you know the human egg is the largest cell in the body — and one of the few you can actually see with the naked eye? šŸ‘€

At just 0.1 millimeters across (about the size of a grain of fine sand or the dot on this page āž”ļø . ), it might seem tiny, but compared to other cells it’s a giant:
• 🩸 Red blood cell = 7x smaller
• 🧬 S***m cell = 20x smaller

This rare photo captures an egg being released from the o***y — a glimpse of life at its very beginning. 🌱

Would you have guessed you could actually see a single human cell without a microscope? šŸ”¬šŸ‘¶

I've received some inquires over the last two weeks and I wanted to let everyone know that I have seen them!

It's nearly impossible to keep up with everything right now, and I'm protecting my space for a few weeks as we adjust to being a family of 6.
Please be patient with me as I transition again into a new phase of motherhood, I promise I'll be reaching back out soon and that I haven't forgotten about anyone!

Baby 4's countdown is on!

It's making me too excited to think that I could be holding this baby in 4 weeks (probably 6 but a girl can pray).
Trying really hard to soak up these last few weeks as a mom of 3, but we are all eagerly waiting to find out who this little one is (especially indie, she checks on baby everyday🄹)

You’re gripping the pool handles so tight your knuckles are white. The contractions are coming harder now, and that voice in your head—the one that’s been whispering doubts for months—is getting louder: ā€œWhat if I can’t do this? What if my body fails me again?ā€

This is the moment every mother fears. Not just the pain, but the crushing weight of self-doubt when everything feels impossible.
I’ve been exactly where you are. I’ve watched mothers question everything they thought they knew about their own strength. I’ve seen the exact moment when fear tries to steal their power.

But here’s what changes everything: You don’t have to face this alone.

When I supported Caroline again through her second HBAC, she looked at me through tears and said, ā€œI don’t think I can do this.ā€ Three hours later, she was holding her baby, transformed AGAIN. Not just because she gave birth—but because she discovered a version of herself she never knew existed.

That’s what real birth support does. It doesn’t just ease the physical pain. It catches you when doubt creeps in and reflects back your own incredible strength until you can see it too.

Labor IS hard. Your body IS capable. And the woman you become on the other side? She’s already inside you, waiting.

You deserve to meet her.

šŸ’› Christ-Centered Birth šŸ’›

There’s something profoundly sacred about bringing new life into the world, and for me, God-centered childbirth has been a transformative experience that deepened my faith and filled my heart with awe each time. šŸ™šŸ’•

🌿 Trusting in His Plan: From the moment I
learned I was pregnant, I surrendered my fears and hopes to God. Childbirth is unpredictable, but leaning on His divine guidance brought me peace. Psalm 139:13-14 reminds us that every baby is ā€œfearfully and wonderfully made,ā€ knit together by the Creator Himself. Knowing God was orchestrating every detail of my baby’s arrival gave me strength to face the unknown with courage. šŸ’ŖāœØ

šŸ™Œ Prayer as My Anchor: Throughout pregnancy and labor, prayer is my lifeline. Whether I am whispering thanks for each kick I felt or seeking comfort during contractions, connecting with God keeps me grounded. I invite Him into my birth space, asking for His presence to guide my own heart. There’s something so powerful about praying through each stage of labor—it’s like partnering with the Lord to bring forth a miracle.

šŸ•Šļø Finding Strength in Surrender: Labor can be intense, but surrendering to God’s timing and strength carries me through. When exhaustion hits, lean on verses like Isaiah 40:29ā€”ā€œHe gives strength to the weary.ā€ Trusting that God was holding me and my baby made every challenge feel like part of a divine story unfolding. It’s not about being in control; it’s about trusting the One who is. šŸ’«

🌸 A Testimony of Miracles: My God-centered childbirths are not just about welcoming my babies—it is a testimony of God’s faithfulness. From the first contraction to that moment I held my baby, I saw His hand in every detail. It’s a story I’ll share with my children someday, a reminder that they were born with purpose, wrapped in God’s love.

If you’re expecting or dreaming of a God-centered birth, I pray you feel His peace and presence every step of the way. Share your story below—how has faith shaped your journey? Let’s celebrate the miracle of life together! šŸ„°šŸ™Œ

šŸ‘ļø Did you ever wonder why the baby’s taken across the room? Why the cord is clamped fast, the mother left shaking, the lights so bright it feels like judgment?

Did you ever feel the stillness—the eerie quiet when the father’s hands are empty, the grandmother’s not in the room, and the newborn is nowhere near a breast?

It’s not just medicine.
It’s not just policy.
It’s a ritual.
And it’s not ours.

🧬 They inject pig-derived Pitocin to mimic the hormone God designed to flood a woman’s brain in labor. But it doesn’t reach the brain. It only contracts the body.
The love doesn’t flow.
The imprint doesn’t land.
The bonding doesn’t seal.
Just pressure. Just force.

šŸ’‰ Synthetic love.
⚔ Counterfeit release.
🧠 Neurological silence.

And while the woman is watched but not touched, while the baby is wiped but not suckled, while the father is praised for being ā€œsupportiveā€ but not leading—
they cut the thread.

šŸ‘¶ The mother-baby dyad was made to reflect divine intimacy. To pass down trust, peace, protection.
But when it’s broken—
the body remembers.
The child stores the grief.
The mother learns disconnection.
The father fades from view.

That’s how it starts. But it doesn’t end there.

Then come the bottles.
The cribs.
The high chairs.
The eight-hour separations called school.
The praise of independence that is really just early detachment.
The lie that the nuclear family is enough. That Mom runs the home. That Dad is just for weekends. That children are safest raised by strangers in buildings funded by gods they do not know.

šŸ•³ļø We are not looking at broken systems.
We are looking at precision-engineered fragmentation.

And you feel it. You’ve felt it all along.
That something was taken before you could name it.
That someone was missing even while you were being told you had ā€œeverything you need.ā€

But listen: the lie only wins if we let it.
And we won’t.
We are pulling the babies back to the breast.
We are restoring the mother's voice in the birth room.
We are putting grandmothers back at the table.
We are praying over the placenta.
We are keeping them close at night.
We are burning the counterfeit and walking in the design.
This is not soft work.
It is a holy war

My mentors and colleagues have been working vigorously to be able to get the National Fellowship of Direct-Entry Midwives off the ground, and it's finally here!

If you're an aspiring or practicing midwife, looking for a midwifery credential that aligns with your personal beliefs, I highly encourage you to check out NFDEM.
The passion and love that has been put into this organization is astounding, and God's has truly guided the formation of this organization!

" At the heart of the National Fellowship of Direct Entry Midwives (NFDEM) is a profound commitment to the professional growth of midwives and the well-being of families.
NFDEM was created with a clear purpose: to set the gold standard in credentialing for direct-entry midwives. Through the Certified Direct Entry Midwife (CDEM) credential, we ensure midwives are equipped with the knowledge, experience, proficiency, and integrity needed to provide exceptional care in out-of-hospital settings, such as homes and birth centers. Our rigorous certification process prepares midwives not only to navigate the complexities of modern maternal care but also to honor the traditions that have supported families for generations.

Grounded in Judeo-Christian values, NFDEM was founded to preserve time-honored traditions and shape a future where direct-entry midwifery thrives as a cornerstone of safe, compassionate, and culturally sensitive maternal care. We uphold the sanctity of life and support the autonomous choices of women in childbirth. "

If you've ever had the chance to talk about birth with me, you'd probably know that midwifery is my dream job.
And I'm THRILLED to be saying that it's come to fruition 🤯

At the end of last year, I ✨officially✨began my studies to become a home birth midwife.
This will be a several year long process, packed full of prenatal appointments, births, postpartum visits, skills classes, textbooks, and weekend workshops. And honestly, IM SO PUMPED.

This does come with some pretty big changes with how I'm going to run Kindred Souls Birth though. Starting with the biggest changes...

😭 I will no longer be taking new doula clients.
I'm so grateful and overjoyed that this year has been fully booked already, and am deeply connected to my clients (current and precious).
But, in order to move forward with attending births as a midwifery assistant, I need to close the door on doula support.
However, if you are a past client who is pregnant, I will always support you as a doula at your birth.

To fill the gap of doula work, I've spent over a year preparing and creating a comprehensive online childbirth education coursešŸ“š It has been specifically designed to teach you the physiology of birth and to prepare you to advocate for your rights to autonomous birth, in or out of the hospital.
Stay tuned for more information about the launch of that soon!

I'm so grateful for the support and love I've received while I make these changes, and I couldn't be more excited to see where the Lord guides this journey over the next few years ā™„ļøšŸŽ‰

5 years from now, the baby will not remember who held them. But the mother will forever remember who held her.
Don't forget to hold the mother as much as you hold the baby.ā¤ļø
