On this International Day of the Midwife, I reflect on all the ways it means to midwife. For me it boils down to holding space, listening to, and believing in mothers. Sometimes a past birth can be so traumatizing it can shake your confidence, but I promise to stand by you and keep believing in you, especially in those moments where your spirit may falter.
These redemptive, healing births are so nourishing to my midwife soul. 💖

💜✨🐣 200 🐣✨💜

What an absolute joy to hold space for this sweet family as they welcomed their seventh baby. It was such a treat to watch this experienced mother catch little Heidi herself, while her siblings jumped up and down with delight at her arrival. This family has known only home birth, and the ease and confidence in which they welcome their newest additions is something truly special to witness!

Heidi marks the 200th baby I've welcomed at home since starting my practice in Alabama! What a testament to the growing popularity of home birth in this state, which has historically made it so challenging (and in many ways they still do) for families to access care with a licensed midwife. We still have hard work ahead of us to continue to ensure safe practice and expand access to this type of care but, for now, home birth families, and the midwives who serve them, are here to stay!

That victorious moment when baby boy is finally in his mama's arms, after days of false alarms and start-and-stop labor. This mama also accomplished her first unmedicated birth like a total pro, and her triumphant expression is priceless! 🤩

You know you're a birth worker when you have a blast renewing your neonatal resuscitation certification with your birth team and fellow birth workers. It's even more fun when your instructor is a dear friend! Grateful to Kimberly Taylor of Prattville Home Midwifery for sharing her knowledge and time, and keeping us all up to date 🩺👶📒📚📝✅💯

Feeling refreshed from vacation and taking this time to reflect on all the lovely families and babies who came my way in 2025. After some tough years in my practice, last year's ease was welcomed and not taken for granted! All labors that started at home ended at home, and even the 3 mothers I transferred postpartum were all non-urgent transfers for perineal repairs out of my scope, so we were able to get these mamas back home and snuggled up with their babies in just a few hours. Not saying hard things didn't happen- losses and tough surprises still occurred, but it felt more manageable and proportional than years prior. Here's hoping 2026 resembles 2025 but, as always, ready for anything that comes my way. So grateful for all these amazing families who choose to share these big moments in their lives with me, and teach me so much along the way! 💓

Some memories from 2025:
-2 snowstorm babies ❄️
-4 families having their 3rd home birth with me 🥰
-1 cord-burning ceremony 🕯️
-3 tiny footprints of little ones gone too soon 👼🏻
-3 births on the same day 😅
-2 en caul births ✨
-the largest baby born in my practice so far, and his very swift and surprising arrival! 🏆

My last baby of 2025 decided not to wait for me before making her arrival, despite testing her mother's patience in being her first baby to go past her due date. Thus little Lucy was welcomed into the competent and loving hands of her father, alongside two very excited brothers eager to greet her! 💓

After 7 babies born in less than a month, this midwife took a very much needed break for the rest of December and is looking forward to seeing what 2026 brings 🤩

A beautiful bounty from a day of home visits! Feeling very loved and blessed by two homesteading sisters who sent me off with fresh eggs, homemade butter and yogurt, honey from their hives, and an amaryllis bulb. Earlier this month I received pastured pork sausage, homemade soaps, and homegrown kiwis from other families I serve. They sure know how to spoil me 🥰

Wishing everyone a peaceful and bountiful Thanksgiving 🦃🍂🍁🧺

That special moment when siblings awaken early on a chilly October morning and learn of their new baby sister's arrival. Baby Hollis you are so loved and adored, and your three big brothers just cannot get enough of you! 🥹💗

September brought with it three baby girls: Halley, Petunia, and Harvest. All three as precious as their names 🥰 Little Petunia was the only water baby of the month, and she arrived exactly 10 minutes after the autumn equinox! 🌎☀🍂🍁🐣

August was a fun month with five new babies, including 🐣📚 baby bookends 📚🐣 on the 1st and the 31st, and three other arrivals in the middle of the month. Only one baby called me out of bed in the middle of the night, a rare luxury indeed! ☀️

Three babies were born in the water 🌊, two were born with their amniotic sac fully intact 🫧, one loved his hand so much he decided to come out with it near his head 👋, one was welcomed by her very excited siblings as soon as they heard her cry from the other room 🥹, all babies were born healthy and safely. Every mom was amazing, and each family a pleasure to serve 🥰

This particular cutie arrived with the most rolls 🥐 of the month, coming in at exactly 10lbs 💪🤩
