The Nesting Parent

August.

Stretching my capacity and clarity. Proving the power of intuition and appreciation for the divine design. Pushing me to leap faithfully forward into the unknown. Making me sweat with tears of joy and a heart full of sorrow. The complexity is not lost to me. This fine balance that we hold, at the threshold of life and death, at the precipice all that’s in store for you for me for her for we. I often wonder who will they be? These 13 babes I’ve caught thus far… I wonder with love in my heart, do they know how far we have come and how far we have yet to go? Did they bring that little special pizzazz we’ve always needed? I sure do hope so.

My 10th catch of phase 3 was an en caul water birth!
Check out this amniotic sac!

And I absolutely got my chest baptized 😂 💦— still trying to figure out how not to dunk my whole chest in the water when catching babies. Tips?

The hydrangeas welcoming us to the home were spectacular ✨👌

And WH continues to save me after long nights of no sleep. 3
