My sweet little Eva Lou made her arrival earthside on 1/11 at 11:00am. She is the sweetest little nugget and we are soaking in these early newborn snuggles as we transition to a family of 6 🤍

My sweet Elliott was born peacefully in our cozy home on July 29th at 4:20pm. Weighing in at 10lbs 4oz and measuring 23 inches long, he certainly made me work to meet him. It was an intense labor but the most peaceful labor I've had. My birth team and the calm energy & support they provided will remain unmatched. My love for them is endless and it just goes to prove that your birth team matters.

captured the most incredible photos that I'm excited to share with you. Her work is magical ✨️

The biggest question about labor is, "When will it happen?". No one really knows. MOST babies arrive at the perfect time for them. The baby's lungs and the placenta give off signals to start labor the majority of the time. The mother's hormones begin to change as she prepares for labor in the final weeks. Progesterone lowers and estrogen rises. This is why the pregnant mom can suddenly become weepy, anxious, doubtful or even crazily energetic.

If you experienced labor before, did you notice a change prior to labor starting?
