A little birthday magic… just one day late.

I welcomed my first baby girl of 2026 the day after my birthday! I was definitely hoping this little cutie would decide to come on my birthday so we could share the day, but she had plans of her own.

Because what mattered so much more was watching another first-time mama discover just how capable she truly is mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Watching her dig deep, trust her body, and move through the intensity. That will forever be one of my favorite parts of being a midwife.

Baby girl arrived surrounded by love, and I got the sweetest belated birthday gift: another beautiful reminder of why I do this work.

And August isn’t finished with me yet… we’re waiting on one more little cutie this month!

Confession… I think I’ve become just as excited to see my client’s horses as I am to see my client. 😂 (Don’t worry, my client still gets all my love first! 😅)

But seriously… being around animals lately has brought so much peace into my life. There’s something about their calm, gentle nature that makes me slow down, breathe deeper, and just be present.

These sweet horses have completely stolen my heart, and every visit leaves me feeling a little lighter than when I arrived. Sometimes the best therapy has four legs.

I had the honor of doing my very first gender reveal with my ultrasound! I absolutely love being able to provide families with this experience in the comfort of their own home. There’s nothing quite like witnessing the excitement and joy when they meet their little one in such a familiar, peaceful space.

Thank you for trusting me to be part of such a beautiful milestone.

No more July births.

When July began, I only had one family due to welcome their baby this month.

Then I received a call from an OB on behalf of a determined mama who knew in her heart she wanted a homebirth at 36 weeks pregnant. She gathered her records and was ready to begin care.

Little did I know these two mothers would both go into labor within 24 hours of each other.

Congratulations to these wonderful families on your precious sons. Thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you during one of life’s most intimate and sacred moments.

July, you were full of surprises because someone always finding something to do, I guess the babies knew I wasn’t going to sit still anyway. These births were a sweet reminder that I need to take my sleep more serious and that Red Bulls definitely don’t hit the same anymore.

Now ya girl is officially off call until August. Will this mama due in August give me my first girl for 2026?

“Midwifery is more than catching babies.”

Those words from my preceptor have echoed in my heart throughout my entire training.

At first, I thought I understood what she meant. I thought it was the long labors, attending births, the time away from home serving families, and the beautiful images of homebirth that everyone sees.

But this past week… I understood in a deeper way.

Midwifery is holding space for a mother walking through miscarriage when there are no words.

It is me having to put my boxing gloves on to get baby in a better position and reassuring the first-time mom that she’s enough and she will hold her baby in her arms soon.

It is reminding mothers they are never a bother when they call, helping them discern whether labor has truly begun.

It is welcoming new families, spending countless hours charting, reviewing lab work, continuing my education, preparing childbirth classes, and making sure every family feels informed, seen, and deeply cared for.

And after all of that…

It is coming home to the little faces waiting for me and the warm embrace of my husband, having to refill everything I have poured out so my family receives my whole heart, too.

I finally understood what my preceptor was saying to me.

Midwifery is more than simply attending births.

As my practice grows, I feel the weight of this calling more than ever before. Every family who entrusts me with their journey is a gift from God, and I pray I never take that trust lightly.

By God’s grace, I will continue to pour out my whole heart while trusting Him to refill it again and again. Amen and Amen!

One thing many mothers don’t realize is just how much your legs are used during labor.

Every time you change positions, walk through contractions, lean into your partner, squat, kneel, lunge, get in and out of the birth tub, or push your baby into the world… your legs are doing incredible work.

The last thing you want is to be in the middle of labor, trying to find the position your body needs, only to be stopped by painful leg cramps or muscles that fatigue too quickly.

That’s why movement is such a big part of my prenatal care.

I challenge all of my mamas to complete the Squat Challenge, gradually building strength throughout pregnancy until they can comfortably complete 300 squats a day by the end of pregnancy. And no, you don’t have to do them all at once! Break them up throughout the day. Twenty-five here, fifty there… it all adds up.

Squats help:
• Build strength and endurance in the legs and glutes
• Improve hip mobility and pelvic flexibility
• Encourage optimal pelvic opening and body awareness
• Prepare your body for the many positions used during labor
• Increase stamina for the marathon that birth can be

Birth isn’t about becoming the strongest athlete in the room, it’s about preparing your body to work with labor instead of against it.

Train with purpose.
Move with intention.
Rest without guilt.

You’re not exercising just to stay fit…
You’re preparing to bring your baby into the world.

What are you doing today to prepare your body for birth?

There is something incredibly special about finding people whose hearts align with yours in the way they serve others.

From the day Sarrah Hernandez and I met, she has continued to be a gentle presence, a soft voice, a kind soul, and someone who is eager to learn, grow, and serve alongside me. It has been such a joy getting to know her, and I am truly grateful that she is joining Ruach Ezerah Midwifery as a Birth Assistant.

I am excited to watch how God continues to grow her gifts and use her to bless the women and families in our community.

A little about Sarrah…

Sarrah is the founder of Casa Matrescence, a full-spectrum doula and women’s health coaching practice dedicated to supporting women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Her care beautifully weaves together doula support, childbirth education, holistic wellness coaching, Ayurveda, aromatherapy, yoga, and integrative lifestyle practices.

Her passion is centered around matrescence, the profound physical, emotional, psychological, and social transformation that takes place as a woman becomes a mother. She believes that mothers deserve to be nurtured just as deeply as the babies they bring into the world, helping bridge the gaps in modern maternal care by walking beside women through every season of motherhood with compassion, presence, and grace.

Please join me in welcoming Sarrah to the Ruach Ezerah Midwifery family. I cannot wait for our families to experience the warmth, wisdom, and gentle care she brings to every space she enters.

Welcome, Sarrah. I’m so thankful to be walking this journey together.
