Received some beautiful artwork from the art contest along with having a very full month! I know some of your littles may be waiting to hear the results and I will be making some dedicated time to post all of the pictures in a couple of weeks after I come out of a busy season 🫶👣

We wrapped up the entries for the art contest! I'm excited to share all o the entries soon and do a vote! If yours are in the mail already - we'll still accept them! Look for contest entries this week as we post them.

🎨 The Birth Cottage Children’s Art Contest 👶🌿

Several years ago, the child of one of my former clients drew a picture of me helping their family when their baby brother was born, it has remained one of my most prized possessions. Looking at the artwork again inspired me to invite more children to help fill The Birth Cottage with beautiful, meaningful art!

Theme: Welcome to the World

Children of current and former midwifery clients are invited to create artwork celebrating babies, birth, families, midwives, becoming a sibling or welcoming a new baby into the world. They may draw, paint, color, or create a collage. We would love to see what birth and babies look like through their eyes!

• Ages 4 and under
• Ages 5–8
• Ages 9–12
• Ages 13–17

🖼️ All entries will be displayed at The Birth Cottage, with yours and their permission.

Every baby deserves access to a newborn hearing screen. About 1 in 400 babies in the U.S. are born with detectable hearing loss in one or both ears. Hearing loss doesn’t always mean a baby can’t hear at all. Some babies may miss certain sounds, which is why newborn hearing screening matters.

The Birth Cottage offers initial and repeat hearing screens to families throughout our community. Had a community birth and still need a screen? Was your baby born in a hospital and needs a repeat screen? We’d be happy to see you.

We use a DPOAE hearing screening device that was granted by the Department of Health and we bill insurance for the service. Schedule through The Birth Cottage’s website.

This might officially be the most unique way a client has ever told me they chose me as their midwife 😂💛

Pikachu, I choose you! ⚡️

It is always such an honor to be invited into this incredibly special chapter of a family’s story.
