This baby & this birth ✨ gifts wrapped in peace & joy!

Thank you for inviting me to be part of it! ❤️

“Our family was made complete this weekend with another beautiful baby boy
Paul Jr. (PJ) Pearson rounds out Pearson party of #7 in the most perfect way. He is sweet and familiar and fits in perfectly with his brothers and sister.
God has been so good to our family and we are thankful beyond words for our 5 beautiful babies.
PJ was born at home surrounded by the most amazing birth team - Joanna has been such a beam of light, love and faith this pregnancy and her birth assistant, Janelle, brought amazing calm energy and compassion in her gentle care for me during the birth and immediately afterwards. The Minot community is so lucky to have Simply Sprouted Midwifery and anyone even curious about home birth should reach out and visit with this amazing lady!”

In the words of .m.slater…you deserve to be supported in your goals & empowered to trust your body. ❤️

“It’s been a full month of staring into these beautiful eyes with the loveliest of days replaying in my mind. I am still in awe at just how kind the Lord was to us in every detail of her birth.
To all the mamas out there, you deserve to be supported in your goals & empowered to trust your body. Yes - providers exist who *actually* practice informed consent & encourage your birth preferences. Yes - it is possible to feel deeply relaxed and in control through the most intense stages of labor without any medication. Yes - it’s perfectly okay if your baby is born FAST while standing in the bathroom (just don’t tell your husband to stay in the birth pool while you try to p*e!!). Yes - physiologic birth will remind you 1,000+ times of just how incredibly & intentionally God designed our bodies.
To my husband, you taking the time to educate yourself on physiologic birth means the world to me. I couldn’t do any of this without your constant support... & counter pressure.
To my midwife, there aren’t words to adequately express how thankful l am for your care. You never doubted me, you helped me to replace past trauma with so much strength & I am better as a mother because of you.
To my precious baby girl, I love you endlessly & there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. My greatest hope is for you to know our Savior, whose love far surpasses my own.”

Thank you for inviting me to part of your story!

My heart is full of gratitude for each of you. Walking with your families through the sacred journey of pregnancy and birth is an honor I never take lightly. Your growing families are a constant reminder of God’s goodness! Each life is a testimony to God’s faithfulness & perfect design.

May your homes be filled with joy, rest, and a deep sense of His peace. Happy Thanksgiving!

“God has been so good to our family. We are so grateful for our 4 beautiful babies and can’t wait to add one more soon!

We are also so thankful for our beautiful midwife - Joanna - for her faith and for her patience during each appointment while Mayzie asks all the questions and goes through all of her things
It’s amazing to be able to include the kids in this pregnancy journey and they can’t wait to meet their new sibling!
Best Christmas season ever!”

I can’t believe this was already 2 months ago!

God was in all the details of the birth of our sweet Caleb Christopher. I am forever grateful for all who helped us throughout our pregnancy, birth, & postpartum. Huge shoutout to our wonderful midwife- , , our wonderful doula- , my dear sister friend & fellow homebirth momma- Ansley Summerville, & my amazing hubby!!! In one of the videos I said during labor (& after) that this was my hardest labor, but thanks to how God used each of them, it still went so well & was so special!
This song was in my head when I woke that morning when my water broke and came on later while I was in the birth pool. Two of my big prayer points for this labor were not to tear & for the timing of it all with where the kids would be etc. I did not tear & the kids were with wonderful friends & Joshie even made it to see Caleb born as he wanted!
“Curls & contractions,” Josh in the birth pool with me,
“squeezies”, prayer, & Joshie being there at the end (as he really wanted to) were some of my favorite parts of the actual labor. Very favorite of the day was when Caleb Christopher was in my arms! And then second to that was his brothers meeting him!
(Side note if you had told me even a decade ago that I would have a homebirth I would not have believed you. I thought those people were a little crazy.
This is actually my second one but the first one was during covid and I changed last minute to it. This time I started from the beginning with this amazing nurse practitioner midwife with the hope of a homebirth since there are no birth centers here. It was special to have the same midwife the entire pregnancy. She truly held me through this pregnancy She and her amazing nurse provided my IVs for HG. I’m so very grateful).

“I’ve spent the past week searching for the right words to describe Theo’s birth… but nothing feels quite enough.

Maybe that’s because this birth wasn’t just about welcoming my son—it was also the closing of a chapter in my life. My last pregnancy. My last labor. My last “first moments.” It’s a bittersweet ache that’s hard to put into words.

Theo’s labor was 12 hours start to finish. My water partially broke, causing things to stall until we decided to rupture the last pocket. Almost instantly, relief and overwhelming pressure hit—I knew he was coming. Just 12 minutes later, Theo was born at home, safe in my arms.

I expected joy and relief. What I didn’t expect was the wave of grief that followed—grief that I’ll never experience this season again. Even small things, like packing away birth supplies, brought tears I didn’t see coming.

So now, I’m soaking up every “first last” with Theo. The middle-of-the-night feedings. The chaos of our new rhythm with seven kids. The sweetness of his siblings falling in love with him. I’m reminding myself daily: these moments are fleeting.

Through my home births with Malakai and Theo, I’ve found a passion for helping women step into empowered, positive birth experiences. That chapter may be over for me, but I will never stop cheering other women on.

Because here’s what I’ve learned:
✨ You deserve a positive experience from pregnancy through postpartum.
✨ You have choices—your birth, your way.
✨ Your birth team matters. Choose people who listen, support, and encourage you.
✨ Trust your body—it was designed for this.
✨ And never forget: you have a voice. Stand up for yourself.

Your story matters. Your experience matters. You matter. 💛”

This baby boy came earthside at the perfect time, just as his big brothers woke up for the day! 💫
I’m so proud of you & feel so grateful to have been with you for your last two births!
Love you Mantz family! 🤎
