🌊 A Welcome to Azariah 🌊
The night lingered long,
early labor stretching time—
waves coming, then retreating,
patience learned in the quiet hours. 🌙

And then, suddenly,
the tide turned.
What waited all day arrived at once—
strong, sure, unstoppable. 🌊

For two steady hours,
she labored with courage,
each push a prayer,
each breath a surrender. 🤍

Water held her,
warm and faithful,
as grandmother watched on
and father stood ready—
love surrounding every moment.

Near 4 a.m.,
when the world was still asleep,
a baby slipped gently into waiting hands. ✨

No chaos, no hurry—
only calm unfolding,
every detail falling into place
as it was always meant to be.

Welcome, little one—
born of patience and power,
held by water, family,
and grace. 💧🤍

❄️ Winter settles in with peaceful quiet and a slower rhythm. In this season of rest, we’re reminded of the calm and anticipation that surrounds the final weeks before birth — a quiet pause before new life arrives. 🩵🤰❄️

After your baby is delivered, your midwife will see you within 24-48 hours to offer postpartum care. What does that look like?

Newborn metabolic screening, CCHD screening, weight check, vitals, and birth certificate paperwork. 👣 🩺

The following 6 weeks are office visits which includes breastfeeding support, vitals, weight checks, emotional support and ensuring the overall wellbeing & healing for both mom and baby. 🤱
Certified Professional Midwives offer the same routine tests and care for both mom and baby that you’d receive through your OB or Pediatrician (minus a Hepatitis B vaccine and circumcision). If mom/baby have anything off the course of normal we refer out for additional support.✨
Most families are low risk and remain low risk in midwifery care.

🌸Introducing Eloise Grace 🌸
The day after Thanksgiving, in warm mid-afternoon light, ☀️
Eloise Grace arrived—eight perfect pounds, a quick, gentle flight.
Surrounded by her husband, her doula, and her mother’s steady care, 💕
She entered through the water’s calm, into a room of love laid bare. 🌊
In that soft and sacred moment, gratitude lingered in the air,
As Eloise was lifted close, tiny breath and tender hair. 🌬️
A mother born, a family grown, a world forever changed that day—
All in the quiet, wondrous rise of Eloise Grace’s very first way. 💖

November was full of sweet new beginnings 🌾✨
We welcomed 5 beautiful babies into the world this month —
1 boy and 4 girls, with 2 first-time mamas in the mix.
No VBACs this month, just five unique stories and five families forever changed.
Every birth is a blessing, and we’re grateful for each one we’re invited into. ❤️
Here’s to another month of strength, grace, and God’s goodness in every arrival. 🙏

🌹A Welcome to Rose Hildegard🌹
In the stillness of a cold morning,❄️
before the sun had time to rise,
labor flowed like a rushing wind— 🌬️
swift, certain, and undeniably wise.

With steady hands and hearts prepared,
love paved the way for little Rose. 🌹✨
Big sister entered as the world shifted,
embracing the love that forever grows.❤️

Welcome, sweet Rose Hildegard— 🌹
a winter-kissed blossom,
woven into the story God is writing. 🙏

We are so grateful for this heartfelt review 🤍✨
Supporting families through birth—whether it’s your first baby or the fourth—is an honor we never take lightly. Knowing that you and your sisters have entrusted us with such sacred moments means more than words can say.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for allowing us to walk with your family through each beautiful beginning. 🌿💚

🌿A Welcome to Eleanor Fern🌿

In the hush before dawn,
the earth drew a breath—🌬️
a soft wind through branches,
a promise kept.
The midwife's hands like steady rain, 💧
guiding, knowing when to rest—
and then, with one bright rush, 💫
she came.
The forest hums her welcome,
the river hums her name.
Eleanor Fern—🌿
child of gentle passage,
born in grace,
and held in love. 💖

This sweet mama was so ready for her Home visit! Supplies were gathered & organized, her space cozy, and even her two curious cats wanted to be part of the fun 🐱✨
During birth, they’ll have their own little space to explore while she labors.
Every home birth is uniquely tailored to each family — from the supplies to the support (and sometimes, the pets!). 🐈‍⬛🐱
