The Midwife Mommy Blog: Lois' Birthday

Lois' Birthday - 23 years!

Yesterday was Lois' birthday! It was so much fun - we had some fun times over bagels (homemade!) and then we went to people's park and out for lunch with Celeste (Lois' continuity but who I delivered cause she was in Manila) and with a few friends.

We were trying hard to keep the dinner part a surprise, but of course Lois knew. She tried to act surprised - valiant effort!

After the dinner part, we stuffed 17 girls into the Germain's jeepney! Talk about a full ride!

And these pictures are just for fun! We tried to do fun faces in honor of Lois (she always does really funny faces!) These just turned out really funny!

Anonymous said...: Jenny, what fun to go on your blog and see the pics of Lois's birthday. I love how you tried to do Lois faces :) and Lois actions. It has done my heart good to check out some blogs tonight--but made me lonesome for my girl. Thanks for being a friend to her. Dorothy; March 20, 2008 at 9:05 PM

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.
