Written by Courtney @ A + Life (originally published in April of 2015) My Natural Birth Plans I don't have plans to take these to the hospital with me. I'm not going to be the girl who shows up with a bullet point, high lighted, step by step birth plan..... mostly because my plans are "hands off, please". But, that's easy enough to say, and not necessary to be printed out on a piece of paper. I remember when I got pregnant with my first daughter, Abigail. Even though it had taken us a … [Read more...]
The Birth Story of London Everleigh {Part Three}
March 5, 2015 By
In parts one and two, I shared how London Everleigh arrived via planned homebirth with a midwife. It's an amazing story (to me) of waiting on God, learning to trust Him more and more and having the courage to bring her into this world the way I had planned and get to experience it. Although I know that's not always the case even if you had planned a homebirth, like my friend Sarah, but not matter what, a baby's birth is a miraculous thing.

We never found out the gender … [Read more...]

A woman will never forget the moment she became a mother, for me that moment was 6, almost 7 years ago. I can hardly believe I am saying that, I have an almost 7 year old, what?

They both share the 29th of the month's they we born- they're exactly 18 months apart. At that time my husband & I were both graduating with degrees. I graduated with my … [Read more...]
The Marathon {Hallelujah’s Birth Story}
March 19, 2014 By
Written by Karli, Contributing Writer Around 4AM on Saturday, January 11, I woke up to contractions around 10-12 minutes apart. Not unbearable, I got up and took a shower, then came back to bed and laid back down to try and get some rest. Around 8, Matt woke up, and I told him I thought today might be the day! We were excited but also knew that it could be a while, as early labor can last quite a while. We also text my family to tell them to be ready! Contractions stayed … [Read more...]
