The Midwife Mommy Blog: Boat Trip

Boat Trip

Many of the MMC staff went on a boat trip last Saturday and it was a good time to be sure! I knew it would most likely be my last time on the ocean like that for a very long time, so I took full advantage of it - soaking in the sun, and taking many pictures of the captivating beauty that is the ocean. So here are a few pics for you to enjoy. Believe me - I will be tormenting myself with them come this next year when it is 10 below F, and shockingly cold and I don't remember what the ocean looks like anymore having been in landlocked MN for too long :) Oh well - God has given me a great two years here - I can enjoy MN for a year or so as well right!?

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.
