Wednesday was a full day of appointments on the road and at the cottage. I woke early to get started on road time in time to get home for a few appointments at the cottage. A drive over the mountain never gets old. An Amish team traffic jam - yes, I had to wait for them to pass before I could travel that lane, playful foals entertaining me, a shy foal hiding behind its mama, and a herd of Palominos in the rain - I took some time to pause to watch them walk into the storm and frolic around a bit in the rain. Serving as an Amish midwife has allowed me the blessing and privilege to be part of a slower and more intentional way of life.

April brought the arrival of one beautiful baby. It is always a privilege to serve repeat clients and walk with their families as they continue to grow.

Blessed Easter from my family and team 🌸

We are on Spring Break and soaking in intentional time together.

This season has been about practicing what I so often encourage others to do—stepping back, creating space, and being fully present with the people who matter most. Slowing down isn’t always easy, but it is good.

We will be available for scheduled appointments and limited on-call hours through May. I have intentionally taken a significant decrease in on-call clients this year to be more available for my own family during this season.

There are a limited number of homebirth openings remaining for September through December. Visit HarrisburgMidwife.com to send a request for consultation.

Wishing you and your families a peaceful and joy-filled Easter 🤍

Kristy’s Availability Update

With just one repeat client due at the end of April and a planned family vacation in May, Kristy will have reduced availability over the next two months.

For clients with May due dates, trusted backup midwives are in place to ensure continuous care. During this time, Kristy will be available by appointment only. We are still accepting clients in September and later for birth services. Reach out at Harrisburgmidwife.com to set up a consultation.

Thank you for your understanding as she takes this intentional time for family and rest.

Faith arrived in just a few hours weighing 2 lbs more than her older brother weighed at birth. A few years ago, this Mama labored for days at home before transferring for augmentation of labor and a grueling labor. Today, she is enjoying the experience of a redemptive homebirth and labor process. Faith is a thumb sucker already and so beautiful. Daddy weighed her twice to confirm that she is 9 lbs 1 ounce of pink cuteness. The best thing about homebirth is tucking the family into bed and knowing they can get the rest they need.

3rd time client…. And I am 0 for 3. First babe was premature and we went to the hospital. Second babe was in labor at the same time as another client and she got a backup midwife because I couldn’t be two places at the same time. Third baby was lightning fast. This April 10th baby came into March like a little lion.

He’s here! I had the honor and privilege of catching a second grandchild. Naomi and I assisted Lauryn & Harrison as they welcomed sweet Remus on Monday, September 29th. He weighed just 9 lbs 10 oz and wanted Grandma & Auntie Midwife to help him out with his nuchal hands and a shoulder cord a bit in the way.

Midwifery can be an all-consuming calling, as it should be. The emphasis on women’s rights and feminism has robbed women of the gentleness, softness and need for support and sympathy that we inherently have and should show each other. For most of us who are called to midwifery we are first and foremost mothers simply wanting to help others to also become and experience the fullness of mothering. The feminist and woman-powered twist on midwifery is a delusion. Through our weakness we are used to bring life into this world. In our hardest moments of labor, women deserve a midwife to be there to remind her that she has the strength and courage to selflessly welcome her baby.

I have no greater honor in this life than to have developed a relationship with my children that they call me when they need me, trust me to be there in their times of needs and welcome me to be part of their adult lives and families.

We are thankful for this beautiful child.
Remus Michael Kirk Healy, we love you.
