Super cute little guy born naturally in water yesterday afternoon, perfect!

Had a great Holiday season receiving cards and photos from amazing families that we helped to have wonderful birth experiences in the past 2 1/2 years. Can't believe how big the babies are and how fast they have grown :-) Looking forward to assisting some very special mom's in 2013 and thrilled to have some repeat clients as well!

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a safe, healthy and prosperous 2013 :-)

Throughout most of the world, and most of history, women have labored and birthed with midwives. The International Day of the Midwife (IDM) is marked by midwives each year on May 5. The idea of having a day to recognize and honor midwives came out of the 1987 International Confederation of Midwives conference in the Netherlands. International Midwives' Day was first celebrated May 5, 1991, and has been observed in over 50 nations around the world. It is an occasion to celebrate and promote the profession of midwifery and recognize the accomplishments and dedication of our midwives. In honor of International Day of the Midwife, Florida Friends of Midwives pays tribute to the work of midwives in Florida, all over the country and around the world. Florida Friends of Midwives would like to thank YOU. Today and every day, we celebrate your dedication to Florida's mothers, fathers, babies, families, and communities. Have fun celebrating this special day!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lag in posts. I’ve been working night’s as a postpartum doula. Between the night shift, clinic, classes, family and births it has been an amazingly busy month. I have learned a lot about how much sleep I REALLY do need, learned some important lessons in labor and birth, seen my family pull together to support me and simply let me sleep (they really can cook, clean and put away laundry without my help), I can still pass exams by cramming and much more. For anyone in the birth field, I feel closer to you and offer all of you the highest praises. It takes a strong woman to be “with woman” and I can’t imagine being anything else :-)
