so thankful for my time with you, Kelly. you are so incredibly strong, & took every decision into careful consideration — always choosing what was best for you & your baby. I am very proud of you 🤍

that first look at your sweet baby 🤍

the moment the discomfort, the long labor, the intensity, the challenges, the pivoting, the vomiting, the fatigue, the unknowns — make it ALL worth it.

especially when it includes achieving your VBAC ✨

sitting here with tears flowing down my cheeks

when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always answered with a “real” job title. but there’s nothing I ever wanted to be, more than a mother.

this book tugs at every single heart string. the beautiful, the ugly. the hard, the easy. the scary, the unknown. relationships, friendships, family. the absolute unconditional love of a mother.

& to support other women entering motherhood as well, in the most vulnerable state — there’s a forever unbroken bond that comes with it 🤍

ultimately, babies sometimes have plans of their own & we have no choice but to surrender to that ❤️‍🩹 Hannah, you were so strong, so brave, & so resilient. your sweet girl is so lucky to have you as her mama 🤍

today I had the incredible privilege of supporting my 100th birth 🤍

one hundred babies (+ a few extras thanks to twinsies!) welcomed earthside. new families, & repeat families, who trusted me to hold space for one of the most sacred moments of their lives.

I think often of each of your births, your stories, the moments we shared. the beautiful, the raw, the challenging, the extraordinary & the devastating. you all have left a little piece of yourselves with me, & I carry those memories into every birth I attend — including the birth of my own son a year ago. witnessing your strength gave ME strength.

my heart is so full of gratitude today. for every mama who has invited me into her birth space, every family who has trusted me, & every tiny (some not so tiny 😂) life I’ve had the honor of witnessing enter this world. THANK YOU.

I have the best job ever. here’s to 100 more 🤍

🔻advocacy is IMPORTANT
🔻your support team is IMPORTANT
🔻knowledge, preparation, & confidence is IMPORTANT

this has been such an emotional month. I feel SO proud & SO empowered by all these mamas.
