Precious MoAna

Precious little MoAna was born with a short and perfect labor. Her mama had her wonderful husband, 2 doulas, and an amazing nurse and hospital staff all there to support her.  Sweet MoAna needed some extra help due to her cleft lip and palate, but she is doing well.  Her parents, family, and friends are excited to welcome her home soon!

Adorable little Julia was welcomed into the world with her big sister Naomi nearby.  A beautiful loving family birth.  I am SO grateful to play a small part in her new life!

Sweet little Charity came into the world in a peaceful and quick water birth.  She is a very special little girl, born with her amniotic sac intact.  Big brother and sister are so excited for her to join their family, and I was lucky enough to support them!
