Happy Mother’s Day. 💕

If only I could have had a doula in the OR when I had my c-sections…

I’m so grateful some hospitals are knowing better & doing better by training & supporting doulas for this very experience.

Your doula in the OR with you just makes sense, and it’s the kind of love, support & care you deserve. 🤍

I had one of those full-circle moments last weekend.

It’s Saturday afternoon, and our girls all sitting around the table laughing at something their brother did. Because he’s always doing things to get a laugh.

And I’m sitting in my favorite spot to work and plan and pray, the one that catches the warmth of the sunshine through the big picture window.

I’m writing content for this week at (semi-annoyed that my kiddos are consuming the quiet I hoped I’d have).

It’s April, which is … so my mind is overflowing with ways we can hold space for moms who feel things, all kinds of this, during this month (and all the others), and I’m trying to put those thoughts into gentle, intentional words for our whole community.

Because I’m one of those moms, too.

And as I’m typing and reworking, typing again… I catch a glimpse of these three girls of mine, just giggling away. And I wonder what life will be like when they have babies of their own. What will they face, what will they choose, will the fight for the experiences they want be harder or easier than they are for moms today…

I don’t know what trends will do… will finding the right support, feeling heard and having space for healing be normal for them? I don’t know because some days in the birthing space it feels like progress is being made and some days it feels like we’re moving backwards.

But… I do know now (after years of searching for it myself) that there are places & spaces, entire movements on fire for these things.

And I’m so, so grateful they will grow up to know that birth matters and that there are communities of women, like , to cheer them on in their birth pursuits no matter what. 🤍

It’s true… your intuition is mighty, and sometimes all you need is a gentle reminder that you’re doing everything right. 🤍

The moment I realized that I wanted an informed, intuitive birth experience even more than I wanted a VBA2C… everything changed. 🤍✨

Yes, the outcome matters and holds weight. But in most cases, it’s the ability to manage your own experience that makes the biggest difference.

… it’s not about the baby.

It may be hard to hear, but… I said it.

Visiting a family that just had a baby is much more about the parents than the (cute, squishy, adorable) baby.

Be respectful of their time, don’t show up sick, do something to help, don’t expect to hold the baby and for the love of all things holy… BRING THEM FOOD.

And tell them what a great job they’re doing. 🫶🏻

There will be plenty of time (after the first few weeks) to snuggle that perfectly perfect new babe. 🤍

On the eve of my first babe’s TENTH birthday (who I carried to 42 weeks 🤪), I’m offering a gentle reminder that your due date is just a guess.

I went on to have three more babies past their “due dates,” too. A couple VBACs, all average size and perfectly perfect upon delivery.

Some of us just carry longer for whatever reason. Hang in there… they are always worth the wait. 🤍

The story…

The joy on my face of realizing a dream & a belief and thanking God that he allowed me to experience it in such a redeeming way.

The necklace, worn every day for nearly 41 weeks, as a reminder that hope belongs and intuition is mighty.

The relief on his face after years of helping me process and hearing my plans, talking choices up & down and building the vision, sitting with me in the grief and then finally witnessing and experiencing the magic with me.

The clutch of emotions and catching my own baby after an unbelievably fast labor and loudly & proudly making my choices heard every step of the way. The “we did it, and I’m never letting go” clutch. 🤍

And then the baby… who turns F I V E today.

What a wonder and joy and wild spirit she has always been. What a gift she gave me, a story that changed the trajectory of my life.

And what a gift she continues to give our family.

Five. A whole hand of memories and laughter, gratefulness and… magic. ✨

Happy Birthday, our Rosie Jae. 💕😘

… call your doula ASAP! You weren’t the only one with a spicy Valentine’s getaway. 😆🥰😉

Accepting just a couple births for Nov & Dec! 🥰

One of the first things new mom friends at every age & stage talk about… birth stories.

You’ll recount the details again & again because birth is a life-transforming experience.

Any other transformational event that we go through in life requires investment of time, resources, education, preparation.

Birth should, too.

Your birth will change you. You deserve to have the right tools & encouragement to support that change.

Take a course, find the right provider, hire a doula, listen to birth stories, process fear… get in the game.

It will stick with you forever. 🤍
