🌼 Next estimated due date is in September so I'll be soaking in the sunshine with the boys until then! 🌸

🪜The other day we climbed 12 stories/120 feet and enjoyed the view on the Kalberer Emergent Tower at The Holden Arboretum

🙋🏻‍♀️One fun fact about me is I'm the opposite of an adrenaline lover... so while my kids were walking around on the top of the tower I was sitting by the stairs 😂

A little heads up 🤍

I may be slower to respond this week/weekend while I’m getting ready for my sister’s wedding and also navigating some family stuff.

I’m still checking messages, emails, and texts and will respond as soon as I can. Thanks for being patient with me. ❤️

3 births in 3 days sounds like a lot... it was full, in the best way. Thankfully there were moments to rest in between and so many moments that reminded me why I love this work.

💙3/3: Birth number 3 was an early arrival and baby is currently in the NICU. I know they would be so grateful for any love, thoughts, and prayers sent their way.

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of supporting three families through birth in three days. It was a full few days but each birth was its own beautiful story, with time in between for me to pause, breathe, and prepare for the next family.

🩷 Birth 2/3 - She had one of my favorite doctors and such great nurses caring for her. Even though the plan changed the support, communication, and kindness in the room made such a difference.

🩷 A few weeks ago, I had the honor of attending three births in three days. It may sound like a whirlwind, but each birth had its own beautiful rhythm, and I had time in between to rest, reset, and step fully into the next space.

This was the first of the three, and I’m still feeling so grateful that families invite me into these moments.
