Iris was born on August 19 around 4am, a full 2 weeks and 1 day late. The extra time she spent cooking made her extra chunky as she weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds--Way to go Mama Erin.
Here's Iris floating in the post-birth herb bath with her mama.....so blissed out.
And here's Iris and Me at the 24 hour postpartum visit. I am pretty sure she likes me more than it looks like she does in the picture!
Christy graduated from The University of Texas School of Nursing in May 1994. She immediately began studying midwifery and started a home birth apprenticeship. While apprenticing, Christy worked as a nurse in the mother/baby realm of healthcare. She started attending births as a primary homebirth midwife in November 2002. Since then, Christy’s practice has grown as she continues to support women in becoming the mothers they wish to be. Currently, Christy serves at 2nd VP on the Midwives Alliance of North America Board of Directors and is working on her Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Degree. When Christy is not helping mamas and babies she spends her time with her two children ages 14 and 10, wrangling animals on her farmette in southwest Austin, knitting, or working on a myriad of other eclectic hobbies.
