A lil human we weren’t expecting until February decided a January snowstorm was the perfect time to join us earthside🎉 I arrived to this first time mama laboring in her bathtub, she was so clearly in that liminal space so many laboring folks go when they are able to fully surrender to this journey. This birth allowed me to sit in my favorite space as a midwife-being present fully as witness-she did not need or desire any exams outside of checking her babes heart rate, she wanted someone to sit with her quietly holding space for her work, no chatting, no bright lights…just calm, steady presence trusting her path. I wasn’t there long before her babe swam into the world. He was, just like his mama in labor, calm and quiet, simply taking in this new world he joined. I always walk away from births and long visit days overwhelmed with gratitude that I am invited to do this work. I never take for granted the trust folks place in me when they invite me to help them welcome their babes🩷 Welcome to the world sweet babe, we are so glad you’re here🩷❤️🩷
