Post-partem is so rarely talked about now. But thousands of years ago, it had specific, written out rules built to create space for recovery.

We are back with a bit of history! The first recorded historical evidence of midwifery stem from a segregated society that existed millenia ago, where a grasp for power banned the lives of every male child born to the “lesser” ethnic group living in an ancient kingdom.

Have you ever wondered what the first birth must have been like?

Benaiah is baby #4, and I did NOT expect it to go the way that it did at all. We changed almost everything about our lives in the time leading up to our birth. Our house. Our church. Our commitments. And through it all, we welcomed our baby into the world in a peaceful, perfect space. Little did we know, a knot in his umbilical cord would lead to an interesting birth!

A first time home birth, kids in the room, and trying to find balance in a chaotic house.

It was textbook. And for me, textbook felt completely wrong.

But my precious baby was an incredible blessing in the darkest year of my life.

I share my first experience as a pregnant mom along with core memories that led up to my birth philosophy. Having my oldest daughter was a gift that came with many challenges leading up to the big day.
