About Me

Location: Sneads Ferry, NC, United States

I am a Certified Nurse Midwife. I am creating this blog as a way to journal my births - for my own personal and professional growth and to share the beauty of normal birth. My faith walk is very much tied up with midwifery. Midwifery has taught me just about everything I've learned about God. Update-now that it's been nearly 2 years since God allowed me to practice as a midwife, I have found that He reveals Himself in MANY ways if we seek Him. And he has been teaching me to seek Him, regardless of what work he calls me to. New update, I've been working as a "real" nurse midwife for a year and this blog has "morphed" into sharing my journey through life, whether it be from home, work, family. LIFE teaches us, not just our life work.

Thank Goodness for Butter

I just had to record my nice, easy 4 hour labor I attended last week. HF (well, her husband, actually) called me at 5:30 to report labor since 4 AM. I arrived at 6:30 to find her working hard. No vag exams per her request. By 7:30 she was bearing down and at 8:08 she birthed a 9lb, 12oz baby over an intact perineum. I was home in time for lunch. It just doesn't get any better than that. How I wish all women in America could have watched and learned from that how simple it can be to birth a baby!!
