The Midwife Mommy Blog: Jelly Belly Party

At a loss for something fun to do when you are bored? Don't worry, I have a solution! A jelly belly picnic! It was so much fun, Jenna and I found recipes for all sorts of combinations of jelly beans to mix to make so many yummy things, we made chocolate covered cherries, lemon merangue pie, coffee drinks and believe it or not even blueberry and raspberry muffins! And it is so easy to make all those things! The blueberry muffin is 2 blueberry beans + 1 butter one. (Sounds gross, but believe me it is so good!) Anyway, here are a few fun pics for you:

Check out New Birth Midwifery!

New Birth Midwifery is my home birth practice where I strive to help families enjoy and learn many things through their pregnancies, birth and postpartum periods. There are two pieces that tie together to make the name that I would like to share.

As I was asking the Lord for a name for my practice in June of 2010, I felt like He lead me to think of the verse 2 Corinthians 5:17 where it talks about when we accept Christ we become new creations - the old has gone, the new has come!

Part 2 of the name is although midwifery is one of the oldest professions in the book, it has gone through many, many trials and at one point in history almost completely dissapeared. Now, however it is making a comeback as more and more women are realizing that to be heard they need to speak up. So although midwives have been around for a very long time, the newness in birth comes from women realizing there is a "new" way to give birth - a gentler, more women centered way. One where they don't need to fight for their rights for a natural, baby friendly delivery, one where they can know the one caring for them during their pregnancy will be the one to care for them during the very intimate time of giving birth.

And so - I give you New Birth Midwifery - a practice that helps women give birth naturally and safely in their own homes. Check out the website for more information: www.newbirthmidwifery.com.
