Fast and redemptive unmedicated birth of our son 🤍 Total hours of labor was about 5 hours from the start of my first contraction. This birth was everything we had prayed for and we are so thankful to welcome our healthy baby boy. We were home before the sun was up to introduce him to his big sister, Capri.
Sharing my story to encourage any pregnant mamas who want to have a peaceful and unmedicated birth. I watched so many positive birth stories when I was pregnant just hoping I could also experience this. The most surreal, difficult and beautiful thing I’ve ever done and it was so worth it for my babies.

Unmedicated labor tips:
-surrendering to the waves and relaxing through every contraction. The more I would tense the harder it was to work through it
-Christian Hypnobirthing and visualizations
-An amazing and supportive birth team
-Not being afraid of the pressure and not fighting it but allowing my body to do what it knows how to do
-Being in a peaceful and comfortable environment the entire time. Dim lighting, my own playlist, affirmations and encouragement from my husband and midwife

My honest thoughts on travel with kids and our full day in Hawaii 🌺🥥🌴 You can regulate or deregulate your babies emotions just based on your own energy and how you handle every situation! So, we try to always remember that while traveling. I think that one mindset shift always makes every situation better and solvable.

Our full stay at Aulani Resort in Hawaii! Such a magic age for Disney, Capri is 3. So, David and I are obsessed and truly taking it all in with her and Enzo is just along for the ride for now. He slept through half the trip lol 🌺🌴🐭🥥 Have you stayed here?

She’s a mother, she can do it all and then some ❣️
Our family at home on film. I’ll hold onto these moments forever. Happy Mother’s Day to all you capable, beautiful and loved mothers. 🎞️
Pinching myself that I get to be their mama forever the greatest honor of my life. Holding space for every woman this weekend that may be in a waiting, grieving, or difficult season of motherhood. All women are heroes. What a blessing it is to be called a daughter, sister or mother 💛
