This week has been a whirlwind in the best kind of way!
Earlier this week, I had the honor of attending my 200th birth. It feels surreal to think that two hundred families have welcomed me into one of the most intimate and transformative moments of their lives. What’s even cooler is that every one of those families chose home birth!
Yesterday we had not one, not two, but THREE baby girls born!
I had the first set of TWINS born in my practice! 🤍🤍This mom worked so hard to stay healthy in her pregnancy so that she could have her homebirth. The birth(s) went so beautifully! I couldn’t have done it without the amazing team we had. Big thanks to Sarah, Steph, and Lauren with for all of their help and support. Twin team extraordinaire!
The THIRD sweet girl was born just 45 minutes before my arrival back to them. I can’t tell you how sad I was to miss this birth because it was the ultimate girl party! But I knew I’d left them in the best of hands with Anneliese Schwenneker to care for them. Lots of gratitude for Miranda with for coming to assist Anneliese and help to support this family. It was a first in my practice to have two labors coincide. It wasn’t easy to have my midwife heart in two places at once.
It would be impossible to do this work without the help of this wonderful midwifery community. We felt so held and supported by all of the midwives that rallied with us yesterday. And most importantly, our clients did too. 🤍
200 births, twins, and three girly pops in one day! Grateful for this wild and precious life!
