One of my favorite parts of midwifery is getting to watch families grow.
This sweet family came in for their six-week postpartum visit on my first day back in clinic after vacation, and seeing them all together absolutely made my day.
It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming their beautiful Mother’s Day baby, and now here they are settling into life as a family of four.
This birth was especially memorable—a beautiful, swift labor, an incredible doula, and a mama who trusted her instincts every step of the way. Their faith filled the birth space, and I still smile when I think about the worship music that played as they welcomed their baby into the world.
This family has such a gentle, joyful spirit, and it has been an honor to walk alongside them during this season.
A special shout-out to my senior student Amy, who completed her final management with this family. Watching her grow into such a capable, compassionate midwife has been one of the greatest joys of teaching. I couldn’t be more proud of her.
Moments like this are one of the reasons I love what I do. The prenatal visits, the birth, the postpartum visits, watching older siblings become big brothers and sisters, seeing parents grow in confidence—it’s all part of the story.
Thank you to this beautiful family for allowing us to be a small part of yours. ❤️
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.”
