Happy Nurses Week!

When someone asks me what I do for a living, I could not be more proud to tell them that I am a nurse. I have the amazing opportunity to be involved in people's lives everyday and to enjoy the beautiful miracle of birth with them. I feel so very fortunate for my career journey and where it has brought me to date. I have met many beautiful, amazing, and inspiring ladies and gentlemen on this path. I am lucky to call them my friends and colleagues.

This week, we celebrate nurses all over. Hug a nurse this week!

...and tell them to grab a free tea Saturday from David's Tea ...

Hello! I am starting this post with a huge thank you!! Jamie and I are incredibly humbled by, and grateful for the beautiful messages we have received since opening up about our journeys through this pelvic health blog series. Amongst your notes, we have found joy in knowing that you are becoming more aware of the changes occurring within your body. Many of you have even sought assessment because of our journey and we could not be more proud of you for doing so. Truly!

Adventuring with Onya

With our first daughter, Brooke (now three years old), we used a soft structured carrier (SSC) often for neighborhood walks, grocery shopping, adventures in the mountains, airplanes, and occasionally tasks around the house. When Mikah (now 10 months old) came along, the carrier became an extremely important part of my life! With a busy toddler to play with, snacks and meals to prepare, a house to [attempt to] keep clean and tidy, and a Little who wanted lots of snuggles (as newborns should!) “baby wearing” as it is called became part of my daily life. I am fortunate to have two girls who enjoy being “worn”, as it makes “mom life” easier with access to both hands and also makes adventuring a ton of fun!

One of the most amazing aspects of my job is to witness the vast differences between each pregnant body as they exercise and how their body transforms postpartum. Most women will have similarities between their own pregnancies and births. Many women can even find a few similarities with other women as they discuss their stories. I think you would be hard pressed to find two stories more similar than mine and Jamie’s are, which is truly incredible, as we have only known each other for 18 months.

Our oldest daughter Brooke was born by urgent cesarean section in April 2014. ...
