Get a photographer. Capture the moments. 📸 I love getting to be a midwife multiple times for a family & watching them become parents to a newborn & then watching that newborn grow into a big brother as another baby is added. 💗

there’s just something so magical about watching your little, become a big 🥺
This beautiful repeat Barefoot mama just had the most stunning maternity photos done by the talented Katie Van Hoven Photo.
Where did you do maternity photos? Studio? Outdoors? Fun location?

Thank you for the love! I appreciate these sweet thank you notes more than you know. 💗 The six-week visits are always bittersweet. Until next pregnancy!
Mid-year baby count! 💗👶💗
Today was a very, very good day.
🔊
So much to celebrate! Love celebrating success, growth & friendship together. Thanks for a lovely lunch together Dr. Allen & Julie. Great way to kick off the weekend.
Weekends are for friends!
We are so thankful to have met Cori and her husband Chris of back when we were neighbors at office in the park (our old office location). Today we got to catch up for lunch and celebrate our new office locations!
Onwards and Upwards! ✨
It’s been a busy first half of the year & now for a little down-time to rest, recharge & rejuvenate & have some wonderful family time over the summer before the second half of the year babies come due. Look forward to seeing everyone in clinic… but we are going to enjoy a break from births to sleep & take little getaways & sleep some more.
Barefoot Midwifery’s former office of 13.5 years is going down. As many of you know, we were hurried out of our office late last year, very unexpectedly. After several delays… they started demolition yesterday. Thank you Office in the Park for being Barefoot Midwifery’s home for so many wonderful years. RIP OIP. More pix & videos in stories.
What a day! Two Barefoot babies born in perfect timing. Then I got called to assist another midwife at birth 3 for the day!
Double home birth day on international home birth day!

Heading to bed to recharge.
What a fun way to start this Mother’s Day!
As midwives, sometimes we rely on backup midwives & understanding clients for special occasions. This week, I traveled to Arkansas with our family to watch my firstborn graduate with his Bachelors from the University of Arkansas. Go Hogs!
🐷
And special thanks to my May clients for staying pregnant!
Spent the day teaching a couple high school classes about midwifery, pregnancy, childbirth & lactation. They had so many great questions! We talked about hormones, placenta function, effacement & dilation, delayed cord clamping, questions about birthing while standing, ECVs, Breech birth, the “mega period” after childbirth, waterbirth, how babies clear their lungs, pain management options & cardinal movements of birth. And they loved learning how to take blood pressure with my duel-headed teaching stethoscope. 🩺
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Open House event today. It ended up being four hours of fun! 💗💗💗💗
We are having such a great turn out. We are here for one more hour. Feel free to stop by! Lots of networking going on with our Dallas birth community professionals. 💗

Fun fact: Did you know Midwife Cori has two boys that share a birthday? These two brothers were both born at home on April 6th… just in different years.

Jimmy Carter’s mom was a midwife. When he was 3 years old, his mama Bessie “Lillian” Carter went over to help her pregnant neighbor with the birth of Rosalynn. Jimmy met baby Rosalynn the day she was born, just hours old.
💗
They went on their first date when he was 20 & she was 17. He told his mom after their first date that he was gonna marry that girl, the baby she helped catch & had introduced him to on the day she was born.

As we wrap up Ice Store 2023, enjoy this throwback birth story to our Ice Storm 2011 VBAC baby. 💗 It’s one of my favorite births as a midwife.

Lucia Isabel’s VBAC Birth StoryOur Ice Storm Barefoot Baby Midwife note: Lucia Isabel was born in the middle of a massive ice storm in the Dallas area in early February 2011. When Midwife Cori Lively got the call that early labor had begun, she called her assistant midwife, Kim, and they made plan...

Seems a fitting way to spend Dec 30th - Ending the year, by removing the last few boxes, turning in the keys and removing our signage at our old office.
🔑
From a text I received today: “It was great. Now it’s going to be even greater. ❤️”
🎉
We are so looking forward to a wonderful New Year at our beautiful new office right on the Dallas North Tollway service road, one exit south of the George Bush Turnpike. (I LOVE our fantastic new location - such easy access!)
✨
We are all moved in & starting to see clients in our new space. Just putting our finishing touches on decor as we settle in. Video tour and open house coming soon! But for tonight, a bittersweet goodbye as we close out the year & a long chapter of Barefoot Midwifery’s story. 🥰
Happiest of Holidays to all our Barefoot Families & community of Birthworkers during this festive season of celebrations.

🎄Christmas Eve birth! 🎄 We thought all 2022 babies were here. But a January 2023 baby decided he needed to join his family for Christmas Eve! 🎄So we started off this cold morning with a beautiful baby boy’s birthday celebration. Welcome sweet one. You are the best Christmas present your parents will ever receive.
It’s getting real…
Thank you to all our Barefoot families that continue to honor us by voting us a “Mom Approved” Midwife year after year after year. 💗💗💗

Thank you. 💗 And Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
I have some BIG NEWS to share with everyone.
📢📢📢
After more than 13 years at our Midway Road office, we were told 2 weeks ago, that despite having a lease through 2025, our building will be demolished at the beginning of the year. Our building, along with at least 7 others, will be torn down to build a high-rise apartment complex. So many small businesses are being displaced, right before the holidays with no warning.
😭
While this was quite the shock, we have been moving fast to find our new home. After touring SO MANY office spaces, we found one that feels like home & have secured our new space. We will be moving in early December. Exact date TBA.
🗓
Pediatrician Dr. Agrawal will also be moving with me to the new office for hearing screenings & concierge pediatric care.
🩺
I won’t miss the Midway construction (that isn’t slated to finish until 2024!), but this will be both a sad & exciting time as we say goodbye to our home for the last 13+ years & make our new office a welcoming new home for you all.
💗
We are moving a little north to the corner of the Dallas North Tollway & Frankford. We hope this location on the service road will be easier access for many of our clients.
✨
We conveniently share a parking lot with CVS. And we are excited that a new Sprouts Farmers Market is opening soon just a block away.
