Together my husband and I have 8 children (5 from my body). I had the oldest in 2004 in the local hospital. I was just 20 years old and had never really heard much about midwives so....... I did what everyone else did. It was an easy, un-medicated birth but it didn't feel like the hospital was an appropriate place to give birth. It felt very cold and controlled and un-natural. So, when I found out I was expecting my second child in 2008 I found a midwife! She lived and practiced about 2 hours from me but was still the closest midwife I could find. She changed my life! She was my age, beautiful, educated, experienced, and we grew to be great friends. She helped my Clayton to come along in the comfort of my own home, with 4 year old big sister watching the whole thing. It was such an amazing experience! I knew before she left that night that I was being called to show other women what home birth was all about, so I started my training only 3 weeks later! Here we are, 3 more home births of my own, over 16 years down the road, and 13 years as a licensed midwife. I have attended over 700 births and have had the pleasure of being Primary Midwife to over 500. And, I am still COMPLETELY in love with this crazy-beautiful, midwife life!
