Saturday evening, I got the call that my first doula baby of 2026 was ready to celebrate their birthday! We were definitely worried about traveling in the bad weather but everything worked out well! I ended up driving 25mph the whole hour trip to the birth center!
I watched as the fresh snow fell while the rest of the world was sleeping,
quiet but relentless,
each flake carrying the weight of becoming.
So it was as I watched this mother in labor.
Each breath a snowfall,
each wave of pain a layering of white,
demanding endurance, asking surrender.
The cold was sharp, the waiting was long,
yet beneath it all was purpose.
The earth beared the weight without breaking,
just as she did.
And when the storm finally stilled,
there was a new silence.
The kind that follows effort,
the kind that holds life.
Fresh snow.
A newborn cry.
A mother, a family changed forever,
Soaking in the beauty they made. 🤍
Thanking the Creator for new life, beautiful snow, safe travels, and a calling that allows me to witness all these beautiful, magical moments! Congratulations to this wonderful family, who made such an awesome team together! #86 done!
