Five years ago as I was preparing to take the NARM exam and become a Certified Professional Midwife. This girl is still my shadow.

Signage is up!!

I have an awesome set of office mates that gathered together for a little sign posting ceremony Monday afternoon. We toasted with some sips of bubbly drink and celebrated being together and sharing the vision of supporting our community and fostering health and wellness. We include a pelvic floor PT and menopause coach, a mental health therapist, a PA who is a menopause specialist, and my little self.

Water is on my mind. Do you know that a regular minimum water intake goal should look like half your body weight, in ounces? For example, a person weighing 160 pounds should drink at least 80 ounces of water daily. Hydration is a pillar of health, in every day life and ESPECIALLY in pregnancy. Growing a human requires good hydration, at the very least it is one of the things that can optimize the experience!

Lately I have been noticing that I haven't been hitting my water intake goals. I don't know about you, but I have to be intentional about water drinking, or it doesn't get done. It's easy for me to realize it's 3 PM and I've only had a few sips here and there. I like to sip my coffee, I get distracted by tasks, I don't feel thirsty, it's not something that comes naturally to me, there are many reasons why it happens.

But when I don't drink enough I start to notice it, to feel it. My joints are stiff, my skin feels tight and itchy, my muscles hold lactic acid and burn. So I have learned I have to play games with myself, set goals to accomplish. Establish routines slowly over time. And once I start to give my body water it will begin asking for more. And I settle into a good system. But every once in a while I fall down, life gets in the way, I am on the go too much, and I find myself dehydrated again. That's where I am right now.

So I begin again, and that's just fine. The most important, and hardest, part is getting going again. It'll just get easier from here!

When a midwife friend has surgery, it calls for homemade soup and bread! I am glad the weather cooled a little to feel a bit more like soup season, but really, is soup ever out of season?!?

Reflecting this morning on how baking sourdough and working with folks in their perinatal journey can be similar. Wondering if that is why I am drawn to both. I think my approach to both is similar. That said, I think it tends to be my approach to most things in life.

I like simple and relaxed. I like starting with trust that the process will work when we put the right ingredients together, and understanding that the process can often withstand some variation based on individualized circumstances. It is important to nurture a strong starter, and important to nurture relationship and trust between a provider and a client. I love that there is evidence and scientific information, as well as age old wisdom and tradition, guiding both processes. These practices both create connection, offer ways to care for others and express love, AND they feed my belly and my soul 💜 So grateful I found my way to this moment in life.
