Closing postpartum visits are so bittersweet! I will miss seeing this family regularly-but I suspect we will stay in each others lives for a long time🩷

An office day just got so much better with a pregnancy announcement text and an invitation to get to midwife a family as they welcome thier 2nd babe! Many things about this particular invite feel extra special, but one aspect that’s feeling so sweet is this means I’ve been here in my new community long enough to have repeat clients🎉🩷 I get pangs of homesickness, I am *Midwest* through and through and that can be hard here sometimes, but I love it here so much and feel like this is home. I envision myself getting grayer and more wrinkled sitting by the sea and hiking these woods I am growing to love so much. My practice growing and being invited to midwife my community brings such peace that I really am home here😭🩷🌊⛰️

A lil human we weren’t expecting until February decided a January snowstorm was the perfect time to join us earthside🎉 I arrived to this first time mama laboring in her bathtub, she was so clearly in that liminal space so many laboring folks go when they are able to fully surrender to this journey. This birth allowed me to sit in my favorite space as a midwife-being present fully as witness-she did not need or desire any exams outside of checking her babes heart rate, she wanted someone to sit with her quietly holding space for her work, no chatting, no bright lights…just calm, steady presence trusting her path. I wasn’t there long before her babe swam into the world. He was, just like his mama in labor, calm and quiet, simply taking in this new world he joined. I always walk away from births and long visit days overwhelmed with gratitude that I am invited to do this work. I never take for granted the trust folks place in me when they invite me to help them welcome their babes🩷 Welcome to the world sweet babe, we are so glad you’re here🩷❤️🩷

Another prenatal day affected by road conditions:( I really hate to cancel visits, I never do it lightly. I tried to make my way up north but 2 cars slid out across 3 lanes of traffic in front of me in the first 10 miles of my nearly 60 mile drive, so I turned myself around to stay safe. I will make that risk for a labor but routine visits can be moved around and keep everyone safe. Thanks to my clients for understanding, even when it’s disappointing! Stay safe and if you’re out driving around today, take it slow!

It has been a wild ride since Christmas Eve! Many, many, many hours spent supporting 3(🫣!!!) different families as they welcomed their babies🩷🩷🩷 Some highlights: a first time mama who labored with beautiful support from her husband and her own mama. Her labor was long and hard but once it shifted into gear her baby was born in just a handful of pushes! Another family whose baby let us know they needed to move from the home to the hospital and landing with a hospital team who was patient and wildly supportive. This family moved through all of the twists and turns of this labor with so much love, grace, and gentleness. I was constantly in awe of them through it all. And finally a mama who welcomed her 2nd baby with a labor very similar to her first-her support team included her own mama who flew in from across the ocean, her husband who spent many hours setting up the most magical birth space, his parents who loved on their big kid so mama could focus on her work, and her doula from her first birth who has since become family to her, her sweet babe was born en caul and received into her grandmothers hands🩷 I am WIPED. And deliriously grateful for this magical work I get to do. Thanks to .e.davis.cpm for taking all my calls and texts and coming to support me and these families when needed🩷 And all my thanks and love to my own family who gave up their Christmas and have been holding down the fort at home. Community midwifery requires a true village that is based in deep trust and understanding and I am endlessly humbled by my own little village🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

I spent Christmas Eve night and all Christmas Day and night getting to help welcome 2 new humans earthside🩷❤️ I have another family working hard today, hoping to welcome their baby tonight sometime🩷 So a seaside hotel room that allows me to be much closer to this family and gives me a comfy bed to catch some much needed sleep until they are ready for my company! So grateful for this wild, exhausting, deeply fulfilling life I get to live✨💖🌊🎉

Waking from a nap feeling so incredibly grateful for this wild work I get to do❤️ After working SO HARD for several days and nights this first time mama pushed her babe into papas waiting hands. I am in absolute awe of this families patience, their deep belief and trust in the process of birth, and their ability to have the best sense of humor through every single moment of it all! 40 hours at their sides and they had me laughing through every moment! This fresh little human hit the parent jackpot! And a shoutout and gratitude for .e.davis.cpm who showed up in the final stretch with fresh energy, snacks, and multiple sources of caffeine❤️ And lastly, midwives families are a silent supporter who too often don’t get the credit due-thanks to my 2 kiddos at home who jumped in and took care of the home, 3 dogs and each other so I could be fully present with this family-and are still doing extra so I can sleep it off today! They are incredible and I truly could not be present and available to my clients if they weren’t so generous with their own time and energy-thanks my babes!!🩷🩷🩷

It looks mild and peaceful…but the highway was a different story! Prenatals rescheduled after attempting to head out but seeing *so many* cars sliding into the median. If you’re a client you know I’ve been talking about “yak tracks” and the importance of taking that safety measure once winter hits..well, it’s timeeeeee!😂🌨️❄️🧊(Is it just me or are these New England roads way worse than WI ones!? I’ve never seen so many cars sliding around like that!)
