This quote beautifully captures the mindset shift that can transform the birth experience.

Fear says "What if labor is long, painful, or unpredictable?"
Faith says "Even if labor is challenging, I am supported, prepared, and capable."

In pregnancy and birth, uncertainty is inevitable—but choosing faith over fear empowers parents to trust their bodies, their support team, and the process. It's the difference between bracing for the worst and embracing the journey with courage and confidence.

Wednesday night was W.I.L.D. — in the most beautiful, unexpected way.

Mama had been updating me throughout the day, and by evening her waves were about five minutes apart. I gathered my things and was heading that way. Her surges were getting stronger but still manageable, and she planned to shower before heading to the hospital.

While I was grabbing coffee — anticipating a potentially long night ahead — Daddy texted that her water had broken in the shower 🫠. I called right away, suggested we meet at the hospital, and checked back a couple minutes later. That’s when I heard: “She says she can feel the head.” 😱
Oh… okay then. I’m coming to YOU. 🚓🚨
Cop‑mode driving + talking to 911, making sure capable providers were on their way.

When I ran into their home, a stunned Daddy met me with, “She was just born!” I stepped into the bathroom and saw the most breathtaking scene — Mama cradling her brand‑new baby GIRL, pink, perfect, full head of dark hair, and a strong little cry, letting me know that she was transitioning so well 😍. 💖

Mama's excellent physical and mental preparation played a huge role in what unfolded as a precipitous, empowered labor. Mama got every birth preference she hoped for… and then some 😅😉. Daddy cut the cord like a champ. Baby latched immediately and nursed the entire way to the hospital, where we made sure everyone was doing well.

Deep gratitude to the medics for their quick assessment and to Lakeside Women’s Hospital for welcoming us with such understanding, even though this was *definitely* not the original plan.

P Family — thank you for inviting me into this sacred moment. You stayed calm, grounded, and confident in your body’s abilities every step of the way. And Daddy… you caught your baby girl with absolute courage and love.

I am so, so proud of you all.

Last week, plans changed quickly for my sweet first‑time parents. What began as a routine OB appointment shifted into observation… and then into hospital admittance for an induction due to high blood pressure from preeclampsia.🙂‍↕️ Definitely not what they had envisioned.

After a good night of rest, I arrived Thursday morning and we got to work with positional changes, relaxation techniques, and lots of encouragement. They made steady progress, but baby was sending us clear signs that he or she (surprise baby 🎉😍🫠) just wasn’t feeling completely content inside.

That led to another big shift in the birth plan. A surgical birth became the surest and safest path for this precious little one and his incredibly strong mama. And even with every unexpected turn, this couple moved through their birth with so much grace, courage, and unity.

There were countless prayers whispered throughout the process and a deep, steady peace that covered the room as we walked the path God had already written for this baby, mama, and daddy. ❤️

Raining Graces’ first birth of 2026 came with a joyful gender reveal, and we started the year celebrating a…

💙💙 BOY 💙💙

S Family — thank you for inviting me to walk beside you as you stepped into parenthood. It was an honor to witness your strength, your faith, and the moment you became Mom and Dad. I am so so proud of you. 😍
