Woke up this morning in awe of the adventure my life has become! I’m beyond grateful for God’s creativity! #gratitude #grandadventure #ABeautifulMess
No matter where your life is at, there will still be mornings when you just don’t want to face the world quite yet. #ABeautifulMess
There is something about baby’s breath and wildflowers that always reminds me of Sarah, Plain & Tall.
It was time for a haircut! :)
Great paragraph from Elizabeth Davis’ “Heart & Hands” about aspiring midwives who’ve yet to personally experience childbirth themselves. The looks I get from people when they ask if I have children of my own and then seem shocked when I say no. I don’t believe midwifery is a profession that should only be performed by those women who have had their own birth experiences, good and often bad. I think that there is space that can be filled by a generation of aspiring student midwives who want to educate themselves, and others, preventatively so that birth trauma need not be the default motivation for women to reach for empowerment in natural birth. #midwifery #midwives #student #motivation #knowledge #instinct #intuition #commonsense
My dad honored me tonight with the gift of his mother’s stethoscope from when she was a Military nurse. Funny, I already inherited so much from her - body type, looks, style, interests. It never would have occurred to me that we’d have this common ground too. I hope that if she could see me training to be a midwife that she would be proud.
Doodles is finishing work for me.
Spending extensive time with these chubby cheeks so I can get out there and deliver real life chubby cheeks! Gotta keep in mind it’s the journey not the destination. #midwifeintraining #heartandhands #studying #textbook
Now and then you just gotta wear as much color and floral print as is fashionably possible. #spring #letthatpersonalityshine
Such a sweet husband! Went to go get some scrubs and @kaboomwtsu suggested we pop into Anthropologie too!

Blue lightning means “this margarita means business”.
My kind of evening.
My Pura Vida Charity bracelets arrived yesterday! I am proudly supporting the causes of (in order from left to right): Abortion Recovery InterNational, American Pregnancy Association, Oceanic Preservation Society & The Cove, and La Leche League International. On top of supporting those charities, every bracelet sold helps provide jobs for local artisans in Costa Rica. #feelgoodlookinggood
