If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been...I’ve been in newborn nesting dreamy sleepy land. Giving this huge initiation into motherhood it’s sweet time and space.
Our daughter Zinnia Fae came into my arms on 11/7 in the sanctuary of our cabin after 50 or so hours of laboring (including the prodromal phase) This photo was taken an hour after her arrival, although it only seemed like a handful of minutes. The first hour was spent skin to skin on mama, initiating our bond on the outside, establishing breastfeed, and letting the placenta pulse beside us. After our first hour, papa got his first time hold. We both were in awe with how she quietly made eye contact with us each, taking us in.

31 weeks pregnant today, and through all these cha

31 weeks pregnant today, and through all these changes and initiations I’ve been experiencing in this wild time to be creating life, I’ve been supported by this tea! Nettles, red raspberry, and oat straw. My pregnancy allies.
Incredibly nutrient and mineral dense- grounds and nourishes. Oatstraw has been a long time friend to my nervous system. And red raspberry! Diving in to the uterine toning properties of red raspberry fills me with encouragement as I quickly approach our natural birth. The plant compound fragarine strengthens uterine muscle fibers, toning the uterus, benefiting labor/pregnancy by potentially decreasing postpartum hemorrahge, shortening length of labor, decreasing birth interventions, decreasing pain during and after labor, a more speedy postpartum recovery, to name a few.

I’ve been drinking this blend of herbs daily in my pregnancy and am super happy to add this tea to our herbal line- a nutritive tonic supportive of childbearing times including preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum periods.

This trifecta of pregnancy herbs- nettle, red raspberry leaf, and oatstraw- is packed with vitamins and minerals in a readily absorbable form, supplementing a balanced diet and restoring vital nutrients that may be depleted in the demands of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Nourishing, soothing, fatigue combating, uterine toning, hormone balancing, are a few of the benefits that you can find in these supportive herbs.

A cup of earthy nourishment for mama and baby.

“It’s like we’re sitting in a chimney” Jay

“It’s like we’re sitting in a chimney” Jay says. Hazardous category air quality today and yesterday. You can’t even see the ridge line. a white out.
I tried to go about my productive tasks yesterday. Knock down some of that “to-do” list. But the conditions just weren’t working for me. My energy wasn’t working in that direction. And I got frustrated and felt cooped up bc I couldn’t walk outside. When I have days at home, I like the feeling of a productive day- my “pitta time” I call it. A slow start, a firey middle, and a mellow end. It’s like I can rest the best because I exerted some energy. But it’s just that- the fire. It’s so firey outside. Must we be dominated by the feeling that we must produce to survive? Maybe, survival is actually asking more balance of us. More water- within and without.
All I know is, stuff is bound to be coming up in the pressure cooker. Sometimes the funk comes up, often actually, in little ways, so we learn to smooth it out everyday. So when it really comes up, we are more well versed. We all just want things to go back to ‘our normal’. But maybe our normal can be a better, more balanced and peaceful place if we allow our rough edges to soften. Fear and darkness and challenge have their place. If the healing must be hard, if that’s the way it has to be, so be it. Allow us to accept it and to find softness within it. And if a softer path is available, may we find this one.
