One week ago Willow Nerys was birthed at home by my amazing wife Joy. We embarked together on a journey of family almost 3 years ago, it has taken determination, courage, hope, and love, as well as a huge number of our friends, family and strangers holding us, supporting us, loving us, and rooting for us. To each of you, thank you!
Willow was born at home in a 4.5 hour labor sprint, that flew by in a wink of an eye. She entered our home via warm birth tub, where Joy had labored most of those 4.5 hours. Willow weighed in at 7lbs and measured 21”, and is healthy and beautiful. Loved ones and our midwives have been taking excellent care of us through out this entire journey, and it simply rocks! We have been staying home, and basking in what i call the “Baby bubble”
Joy is the most amazing woman! Seeing her as she birthed life, has been the most deeply moving part of my life. I am so proud of her, so in love with her, and so ready to continue to deepen our love/life together for ever.
Words just can’t capture the vastness of the experience for us, best I can do right now is put together a short video from the last week.
I have no words. Well, one: beautiful.
