When we arrived, she was sitting on her bed — calm, grounded, even smiling between contractions. A birth sling was fastened to the ceiling, and she swayed and rocked through each wave with quiet strength.

As labor deepened, we watched her shift inward. Her demeanor softened and focused, each surge drawing her further into that sacred birth space. Even her cats kept wandering in, as if checking to be sure everything was just right.

She moved into the pool and seemed to sink fully into her birth zone. With dad steady and strong behind her, she followed her body’s lead and powerfully pushed her baby up into her own hands, bringing her straight to her chest.

Baby number three. First girl.
Pure strength. Pure surrender. 💗

“The one that…” but make it birth edition 🫶🏼

We’re so much more than appointments and charting —
we’re the ones answering your 2am texts, holding your toddlers,
and believing in your body every step of the way.

Our last birth of 2025 was so special. One of those magical water births in front of the glowing Christmas tree, surrounded by loving hands, a mother intuitively leading the way. When we arrived she was close to pushing, feeling increasing pressure with each contraction. She instinctively followed her body’s cues and leaned into spontaneous pushing. Soon her beautiful daughter was in her arms, the first born baby girl after two sons. We spent the postpartum period slowly getting to know her new baby in the comfort of her bedroom, marveling at the first latch and enjoying a slow newborn exam. We tucked them in for the night and left before the sun rose, happy to end the year with such great birthing energy. Your midwives love you baby Dove 🕊️🩵

Postpartum bliss 🤍✨

The world got quieter.
The nights got slower.
And love somehow got louder.

Skin to skin.
Sleepy smiles.
The sacred pause after the storm.

This is the softness no one prepares you for —
where healing and heaven meet in the middle of your bed.

Tiny toes, big memories ✨💖
Every wrinkle, every swirl, every perfect little footprint tells a story. Not just about your baby’s adorable feet (we can’t stop staring either 😍), but about the very first chapter of their life—when they arrived, their stats, and all the loved ones who welcomed them into the world.

This isn’t just a print—it’s a keepsake of magic, milestones, and moments you’ll treasure forever.

Can we get a show of hands in the comments how many of you hang up your home birth certificate?! We love to hear what you guys do with these special keepsakes.

In the quiet rhythm of the morning, contractions began—soft at first, then slowly unfolding into something more. By late morning, the air had shifted, and it was clear this baby would not wait long.

She moved through each wave with calm strength, held and supported by her entire family. Her daughter stayed close, and when she stepped into the tub, all of her children and her partner gathered around her. Just like her other births, this one happened in the very same place—water, familiar walls, and a space filled with love.

Time seemed to slow as we waited for baby to arrive. When the moment came, mama reached down, caught her baby, and lifted him into her arms. A sweet voice rang out with the announcement—it’s a boy.

The moments that followed were gentle and unhurried, wrapping everyone in warmth and peace. A full-circle birth, and one that will be held close 🤍

This is why postpartum care matters.
Follow-up visits mean real connection, ongoing support, and being there after the baby arrives. Getting to walk with a repeat family and watch them grow again is one of the sweetest parts of what we do 🤍

This baby boy loved playing games with us. After 42+ weeks of pregnancy, we used all of the tools in our toolbox to coax this little man out. It seemed he wasn’t interested in any of our techniques until one day he finally decided to make his appearance. We came to check in on mama a couple of times & during the evening check it seemed things were steadily chugging along but not quite ready yet for the birth team. When we decided to give this mama some space, her labor took a fast and furious turn & she was calling us back very shortly to let us know she was feeling the urge to push. Ironically after so many weeks of pregnancy, many days of natural labor encouragement & a relatively slow and steady cervical progression throughout the day, baby Elwood decided to come flying out in the last moments of this labor. We were still en route when he was born & we were able to coach mom & dad through gently lifting their baby to the surface of the water & hear them excitedly exclaim, “It’s a BOY!” We arrived moments later and helped with placenta & the sweetest, slow postpartum moments that followed. This mama’s oxytocin high after her whirlwind birth was contagious, what a ride with this awesome family! Your midwives love you baby Elwood 🩵

This fourth baby was welcomed in the most tender, family-centered way. Labor began in the morning, with mom working through contractions alongside her youngest, then naturally moving to the tub as things picked up. Following her body and her instincts, she listened as the urge to push arrived.

Big sister was right there holding her mom’s hand in the tub, with dad close by. Just like her previous birth, mom moved from the tub to the bed, and only minutes later baby was born.

With a surprise gender, mom initially thought it was a boy—until she took a peek and joyfully shared it was a girl. This family is now beautifully balanced with two boys and two girls 🤍

Postpartum was just as sweet, with older siblings coming in and out to check on mom and baby sister, and big brother proudly helping weigh her.
