Leon Ezekiel Atlas came into the world after many many long hours of labor yesterday at 8:04 pm, born in the hospital because mom just decided she would be more comfortable with an epidural, and she was! She had a really supportive and respectful hospital experience. Mom’s labor was up and down for a couple of days and nights, and she worked very hard. Her home birth team was in her corner the entire labor, trying everything possible to get her the rest and relief she needed. She was able to get to the hospital and get the epidural and get some much needed fluids and rest before pushing out her healthy 7 lb 7 oz, 22 inch long baby boy. What a relief to finally have him in arms! Welcome, sweet boy! We all need a nap after that long weekend! (Isn’t he just the cutest?!)

Good morning world! This chunkamonk came into the world with a little bit of encouragement by her midwife there end (I just had to help wiggle her out; she wasn’t stuck, just so fluffy!) this morning at 1:59 am after just a few good hours of active labor. Her mom has such a beautiful support system, and little Amanda (Mandie) Faye was surrounded by her mom, dad, grandma, aunt, and a good friend (along with her midwife and assistant) when she came into the world in water at home. She was a healthy 10lbs, 3oz (not quite mom’s biggest), 21 inches long, and joins her nine siblings in their little farming family. She is going to be milking the cows before we know it! But for now, she just gets to be the cutest little member of this family full of love. Welcome, sweet girl! It is an honor to meet you!

Welcome to the little chub Ember-Lee Grace Celeste! She was born peacefully in water in the daytime at 2:49 on Tuesday 7/15. Although most everyone was saying she looks like her oldest brother, I see so much of her brother before her who I had the honor of receiving years ago. Ember-Lee is mom’s heaviest baby by an ounce at 8 lbs, 1 oz, and is 20 1/4 inches long. Welcome sweet girl!

Little Felix joined us this morning at 4:57am. It was the third baby for this sweet family, who started their parenting journey in Hawaii with a home birth there, and has now had two beautiful home births with yours truly. Thank you to my assistant who was not on call and is on maternity leave for coming to my rescue last night. And Felix was such a talker! He is going to be his oldest brother’s best friend if he keeps it up! Felix was a little peanut at 6lbs, 9 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. The smallest baby for this family. Mom is already talking about the next one! Congratulations to the family and welcome to little Felix!

This sweet boy is waiting on the perfect name, but his parents have a strong list together. He joined us yesterday at 11:16:59 to his strong mama in their living room at home peacefully and gracefully. He weighed a perfect chunky 8lbs, 15oz, and was 20 1/2 inches long. His 4 siblings were at grandma’s house for the delivery but boy did they have a surprise waiting for them at home! This was mom’s first home birth and she rocked it like a pro! We were made to do this and she showed us in the room how it’s done! With her very familiar to me Latin chant going in the background, and Daddy sitting by her side, she eased her baby out without a push. Welcome, sweet boy! I can’t wait to hear your name!

As you are planning your family this year, know that I will be gone most of March (which you would be already pregnant, sorry) and some of May this coming year.

Willow Jane was born too quickly for her midwife to get there this morning at 10:31. Dad called at 10:16 to say, “you better get here,” to a baby in 15 minutes. This mama wanted an unassisted birth and she got just that. She was attended by her mom and husband and that baby cried right away and was ready to be here! She weighed in at 8lbs, 15oz and was a long 22 inches . Welcome sweet girl. I can’t wait to find out how excited your sister was to meet you!

Ezlyn Elisha Grace was born at 11:29 last night peacefully in water surrounded by her grandmother, big sister, mom, dad, aunt, next oldest cousin who suddenly looked huge at 4 months, family friend, and of course her midwife and helper. Her big brother cut her cord, even though I doubt he remembered it this morning. lol I was called away from leading the youth group to go help this baby out. Such is this work, where you have to have a back up plan for your back up plan. This work requires a fantastic support system so I am grateful for mine.
Ezlyn came down military style, meaning the very top part of her head was coming down the birth canal, which is a wider diameter than the top back of the head which is usually the part that comes down. Right at the very end, when mom had pushed that head down with all her might, she tucked her chin and slipped right out. Lots of work for her mama, but so worth it!! Ezlyn weighed 7 lbs, 14 oz, a perfect guess by her mommy! She was 20 3/4 inches long, although she seemed so much longer with long feet, legs, and fingers. Welcome, little cutie! Ya made your mom wait the longest of all of her babies! I can’t wait to see how her three brothers and big sister have welcomed her into the fold. 💕

This sweet girl finally joined us on 5/16 at 9:48am. She made her mama wait until 41 weeks and 6 days, like her sister before her, but she was so worth the wait. Mama had early labor for about 24 hours before the strong ones hit, but when they did, they were so effective and she had a baby in her arms quickly. Daddy said he thought it was the easiest one yet. Her midwife thought she was heavier than she really was because she had so much chunk! She weighed in at 8lbs, 6 oz, and was 20 1/4 inches long. She had dark dark hair like the sister two sisters ahead of her, and mom was a little worried because she just didn’t cry. Peaceful birth, peaceful baby. I have had the honor of serving this family 5 times. This baby girl and her 6 siblings and parents are special to me. Welcome, sweet one.

Kaleb Allen joined us yesterday afternoon at 1:10 after keeping his mom up all night the night before with not strong enough contractions but strong enough to keep her awake. I know a lot of you can relate. Once labor hit, it hit hard and this little fat boy was born at 8 lbs, 14 oz and 21 inches long. Mom’s biggest baby yet. But what a perfect angel. He had his cord wrapped around his neck like a perfect scarf around the back of his neck and around again. And it was such a pretty purple spiral. As a midwife, we grow to love our clients like our own family and this one is no exception. I have served them twice. And mom says no more! So, it has been a lovely ride with them for now. 🥰

This cutie is waiting for the perfect name, per tradition, :) He is special to his midwife since he is #5 for this family and this midwife with this family. ❤️ This boy came quickly and easily at 3:01 in the morning, just in time to give his mom and his grandma and midwife a nice Mother’s Day and get born the next day by a few hours. ;) This boy was mom’s biggest baby so far at 8lbs, 2 oz, and was 20 1/2 inches long. Welcome, precious baby boy! You have blessed us all!
