🧠✨ Did you know your baby’s head is designed to change shape during birth?

One of the incredible things about a newborn’s skull is that the bones aren’t fused together yet. Instead, several skull bones are connected by flexible seams called sutures, with soft areas called fontanelles (“soft spots”) between them.

This flexibility is incredibly important during birth! 👶🏼

As baby moves through the pelvis, the skull bones can overlap and shift slightly in a process called molding. This allows the head to temporarily become a little narrower and more compact so it can navigate through the birth canal.

You may notice a baby’s head looking a little cone-shaped or elongated immediately after birth. That’s often completely normal and is one of the amazing ways a baby’s body adapts to the journey into the world. ❤️

And don’t worry—the bones don’t stay that way! Over the following hours and days, the molding typically resolves and baby’s head gradually rounds back out.

✨ Birth really is a team effort between mom and baby—and baby’s skull is built for the job!

Would you have guessed that your baby’s head can actually change shape to help make its way through the pelvis?

Midwife Math
2 babies I caught, 1 baby I made, and 1 baby I delivered… and 2 babies that are absolutely adorable. 😂💕

Had a little baby playdate with a sweet client turned friend, and I just love that midwifery gets to bring people into your life who become so much more than clients. 🥹❤️-Nicole

From catching babies and seeing families grow over the years to making lasting connections, this job really is pretty special!!

A little glimpse into what goes into caring for a family behind the scenes…

📋 Charting
🩺 Checking equipment
🧺 Restocking birth supplies and supplements/herbs
📚 Continuing education
📱 Answering the “Is this normal?” texts
☕ And, of course, a questionable amount of coffee.

There’s a lot that happens before, during, and after we see you. 🤍

The Little Things 🤍

Sometimes it’s the big moments we remember most.

The first cry.
The first time you see baby’s face.
The moment parents realize, “We did it.”

But sometimes it’s the little things, too.

A hand being held during a contraction.
A quiet moment between pushes.
A partner whispering encouragement.
A newborn curled up peacefully on mom’s chest.

Those little moments are a huge part of why we love what we do. 🤍

We’re usually very safe drivers… but when the husband calls and says he thinks you need to get here NOW, we might need this bumper sticker. 😂🚗💨

No one has time to stop for a speeding ticket when there’s a baby on the way! 👶🏼💨

Just kidding Drive safe, But drive with purpose. 😉 lol

✨ Breastfeeding is so much more than nutrition. ✨

Breastfeeding is comfort after a hard day, warmth in the middle of the night, reassurance in a brand-new world, and connection that goes far beyond milk.

While breastfeeding is natural, it isn’t always easy. It can take time, patience, support, and practice—for both mom and baby. Every feeding is a learning experience, and every family’s journey looks a little different.

Whether you’re exclusively breastfeeding, pumping, supplementing, or finding your own path, we’re here to support you through those first latch attempts, growth spurts, cluster feeding, and all the questions in between. ❤️

Every drop, every cuddle, every moment counts.

Every birth has one moment you’ll never forget. ❤️

Maybe it was hearing your baby’s first cry.
Maybe it was your partner catching your baby.
Maybe it was finally holding your little one after months of waiting.

For us, it’s impossible to choose just one—we’ve been honored to witness so many unforgettable moments, and every family’s story stays with us.

✨ We’d love to hear yours.

What is the one moment from your birth that you’ll remember forever?

Share it in the comments. We can’t wait to read your stories. 💕
