2 baby girls, born 2 days in a row, and now I’m officially OFF CALL! This was a bit of a crazy back-to-back scenario to finish off the last week of births! Left home Thursday morning and returned home Saturday late evening!

Stephanie and I left our homes for a labor on Thursday in the early morning. Baby born late Thursday. We were still with that family, but all finished up, when we got called at 2am Friday to go to the next family! The next baby was born late Friday. We stayed with that family overnight for some monitoring, and then went straight to the first family’s 1-day visit. Then to the office for a short while, and over to the second family’s 1-day visit. What a stretch of days! We are thankful for comfy couches to nap on when things are slow, because it conserves our energy for when we are needed most.

These were both Amish families, but in very different communities. 1 repeat family having their second baby, and a new family having their first baby. ❤️❤️

And now to prepare for a week of teaching, practicing, and refreshing midwifery skills! And so much more! While OFF CALL.

I still can’t believe I’m off call. This feels so weird. I might get to put my phone down to charge without staying near it. I can run to a town in any direction, because there’s not someone due in the opposite direction. I can take my kids on an errand with me, because I don’t have to worry about being called straight to a birth. I can sleep with the phone ringer off, and not obsessively check to make sure the ringer is on before falling asleep. And so much more… This is weird, y’all—but I think I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. 😍

Another handsome baby boy arrived today in one of the Amish communities. A sweet first time family! I’ve Midwifed for several of their relatives too, and it was sweet to chat about all the babies that this baby will grow up playing with. 😍

Carissa and Stephanie were both excellent Birth Assistants for this birth! But unfortunately Stephanie left just before we had a chance to grab the “afterbirth selfie.” 😆

Only 3 babies left until I’m off call to teach my annual trainings, attend more breech refreshers, and have a few weeks of family time. Getting so close!

The babies were waiting and waiting, and now the birth cluster has begun! A sweet girl late last week, a handsome boy 2 days ago, and another beautiful girl yesterday!

First photo is Christina and I just hanging out on the hallway floor, one of us on each side of the doorway where the mama was calmly breathing this baby down like the warrior she is. Her husband by her side the whole time, encouraging her along the way. We just quietly wait, and peek in every so often to check baby’s hearttones and give more encouragement. A repeat family, and such a beautiful birth!

Second pic is Stephanie and I after the next birth. A first time mama who breathed her baby down and out so incredibly peacefully that you’d have never guessed it was her first time!

Didn’t even get a pic after the birth last week. (It’s been crazy like that!) But such a perfect smooth birth too! Another sweet repeat family.

Several perfectly beautiful births in a row. One of the babies was even born en caul! So honored that I’m asked to sit with these women and families and witness them all.

“I bet you’re enjoying a nice break now that all those babies came!”

I mean…sure?

But actually, a cluster of births that cancels almost an entire week of appointments, means the following week has double the appointments. AND it has all the early in-home postpartum visits ADDED to the doubly scheduled week. So the week is tripled!

“The nice break” is logistically only a “break from births.”

11 straight days of births, with many overnights, and as many appointments squished in between them as possible. Then immediately into full office visit days, several hundred mile loops of home visits, and 7am to 10pm days to fit in all the proper care. This will continue daily until at least next Friday. Which means 21 straight days of office, homes, and a few thousand miles.

Today was a 340 mile day. A miscarriage support visit, to check on a mama’s well being, and 2 early postpartum home visits that where in opposite directions. Christina, Stephanie, and Carissa all participated in 1 or more visits each. It was a day full of emotions both sad and good. Supporting a young repeat couple through a tough spot in their lives. Supporting 2 other couples through their joy of their growing, thriving babies.

It was just another day in the life of a Midwife. But such a beautiful day. So blessed to do this work.

The last August baby decided she wanted to try and join the birth storm! A sweet baby girl born in the early morning! Another baby who did not come when expected, based on history.

Well played, August babies. Well played.

Congratulations to this sweet repeat family! We love them so much, and are so happy for this baby girl added to their family!

Birth Assistant Stephanie helped me with this one. 4th in a row with her, and 5th of the last 6 in a row! Stephanie has been busy too!

I’m now technically off call for tonight and tomorrow, until the next September mama start reaches 37 weeks gestation on Thursday night. It’s an odd feeling to not have any likely labors! Maybe I’ll sleep hard tonight.

After this morning’s beautiful birth, I got to see the twins again for another postpartum visit, then got to welcome a new client into care, do a few prenatals, and graduate 3 clients from care with their 6-week postpartum visits. It’s been a day of all the stages! My heart is full 😍

5 mamas, 6 homeborn babies, 8 super crazy [and yet amazing] days!

I’ve seen the majority of sunrises and sunsets of 8 days in a row while on the road, while supporting a mama in the birth pool, while helping to arrange pillows and assess a baby’s latch during breastfeeding support, while getting a 10 minute walk outside just to stretch my legs, while making myself another coffee in the laboring couples kitchen, while spooning bites of food into the mama and the dad’s mouths as they labored in the pool (because they both needed to keep up their energy), or while peeking my eyes open and gazing out the window from a 1 hour couch nap.

But. Wow. What an amazing week! If you could have seen how my amazing Birth Assistants worked seamlessly together, even when working with BA’s they don’t get to work with much. If you could have seen how God orchestrated every last detail. If you could have seen how these incredibly strong women worked through their labors—several of them long, multi day labors! Then you would have a glimpse of how amazing of a week it truly was! But alas, these are the details that these families get to share, not me. 🙂

I may have forgotten how comfortable my own mattress was by the time I slept at home again. But it was oh so worth it.

We had 3 new-to-me families, one repeat family, and one 3peat family. A first time mom, a 3rd timer, 4th timer, 6th timer, and 7th timer.

My August suddenly has only 1 due date left! The 5 mamas above had due dates that spread very evenly over a 5 week span, yet their babies all decided to work together on creating a birth storm of 8 straight days! 1 of them was due in September, but came a bit early. Another should have been in September, based on her history, but then came early as well. 2 deliveries were over a week past their dates. Only 1 of the 5 mamas delivered near her due date. Babies are unpredictable!

We also welcomed our brand new Birth Assistant, Carissa, to her first birth! Carissa completed her BA Training in July, and she was an amazing, helpful, and thorough BA at her first delivery. So excited to have her on the team! (She’s the new face in the first pic!)

TWIN Birth! 2 handsome Boys arrived yesterday! Such a beautiful twin birth! An amazing couple. And a fun birth team. 😍

This couple jumped through some hoops to choose the birth team that they wanted! With not very many options for twin providers in their area, they chose to seek my Homebirth Services and rent an Airbnb nearby me for a month over their likely due zone.

Even with a few twists and turns along the way, this mama was determined to have the birth she wanted. And she did!

I’m thankful for amazing Birth Assistants! I assembled a team of 4 of my most experienced assistants to attend with me. Each with their own assignments of what their responsibilities were for this birth, for the safety of mama and babies. They all worked so beautifully and seamlessly with the tasks at hand. Alivia has done several twin births with me already, and I love watching her skills excel!
