Birth with Joy

Oh baby girl! Little 7lbs 7oz Jannett decided to enter the world FACE and chin first yesterday night! Not the ideal way to come but her momma is so strong and they both did amazing supported by an amazing family. Face swelling and bruising mark the challenging birth they both accomplished but that will fade away in a few days. Very thankful for a successful delivery and a healthy and happy mom and baby!

What better way to start off Mother's Day than by helping a dad catch his 8lb 8oz daughter?!? Happy birthday sweet Mabel! You've sure been blessed with an amazing strong mama and a beautiful family!

Happy birthday Baylor! Welcomed into the world by his amazing family at home in a beautiful water birth. He came out and just looked up at his mama in the water while she took a moment to look down at him. I don't think I'll ever forget that gentle pause! Such a precious moment before mom reached down to lift all 6lbs 4oz of him up into her arms.

Those toes!!! This little guy couldn't WAIT to make his appearance coming at the soonest he could to 37 weeks and surprising everyone by looking more like 39 weeks and weighing in at a grand 8lbs 3oz. His momma is an absolute rockstar and her birth and postpartum were so very perfect. Happy birthday Alistor!

After changing her mind two days ago, baby Laurel decided to make her grand entrance in the early hours of this morning! All 7lbs 4oz of her.

My oldest daughter was invited to the birth and able to witness her first birth. It couldn't have been more perfect with an absolutely amazing 4th time mama who was incredibly in tune with her body and the simply beautiful and peaceful water birth that followed.

Feeling so thankful and blessed!

There is something incredibly peaceful about an early morning full of the quiet anticipation of a new life entering the world soon.

We are eager to meet you baby girl but content to wait in the peaceful quiet until you are ready!

Having caught three boys in the past few months, it was wonderful to help a first-time dad catch his newborn daughter, weighing 7lb 5oz, yesterday during the early afternoon. Such a peaceful little girl!

She had a true knot in her, thankfully long, umbilical cord to boot!

This mom was nothing short of amazing! First birth, amazing support from her husband and family, just over five hours of labor and a happy healthy 9lb 6oz baby boy who came out with his hand up under his chin in the birth pool! And ON his actually due date!

Such a beautiful birth to be present for and a beautiful family to come alongside ❤️

Happy birthday you big beautiful boy! You've certainly been blessed with an incredibly strong mother and an amazing dad and family!

This creative art work and these specific words had been carefully chosen by this woman and her family to prepare herself and her birth space for the new arrival. Very aptly chosen as the words "Surender" and "Yes you can" became such an intricate part of her birth story yesterday in such a beautiful way!

Yes she could do it and yes she did as she surrendered, let go of her fears and trusted her body!

Blessed to help welcome another baby boy (7lbs 11oz) yesterday, August 22nd, and to be part of such a beautiful and redeeming experience for his family!
