in the last seven days I have seen 5 girls and 1 boy born, I have helped their mums and dads as they all huffed and puffed their way to birthing their babies. Welcome all you beautiful babies 🙂

The mama this morning was very fast. Yes she was early and baby was not to big, but what a delight to see a first time mum push and deliver so well.  Getting ready now for the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon on Wednesday, another big day for the Universe.  Expecting a busy birth week!  🙂

another beautiful – easy water birth happened June 1. the woman, strong – never asked for anything but sips of water. just focusing on the immediate and allowed to listen to her body.

I helped at a beautiful water birth the other day. This mum got exactly the birth she envisioned – no drugs – it was not so easy in the moment, but she was so happy after the baby was snuggling on her chest moments after

May 12 I saw a chubby cheeked little boy being put to a mum’s chest.  It was a long haul waiting for the process of labor to bring her to this moment. But he was so adorable.

Then I was called to attend another birth right away on May 13. The set of circumstances were very different for labor (as is each one)  and this was another long haul.  I watched a woman push longer than most doctors would allow,  BUT she did deliver vaginally.

My day away from home was long, but I can’t get over how much I love the process of labor, the joy of watching new mums and dads meet their new baby, and my self satisfaction of the miracle of birth.
