birth story of the week: a home birth vlog
This is such an endearing video! I don't think I've ever watched a vlog-style birth story before, and I just love the immediacy and emotion of it. The proud papa is such a great cheerleader/documentarian of the birth. Meanwhile, I admire the calm centeredness of mama as she matter-of-factly goes about birthing a ten-pound baby! Sweet.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful family and well done Mama - she hardly looked like she broke into a sweat!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is personal, but I would not have been able to handle him narrating and saying "can I say I love you?"... I'd have been all "can I say I'm in LABOUR"!! I found dad a little bit too self-focused, but everyone's different when it comes to birthing preferences :)
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet sweet video.
ReplyDeletemy labor was too intense to have a camera in my face (or to do any of the things i had planned to do like candles and music and meditation). but STILL: his love for her and their excitement together and the fun she shared w the doula was very precious to watch.
Oh my goodness, this is beautiful. I started following your blog 2 years ago because of a birth story you posted and I have since found my true calling as an aspiring doula :) Thank you for holding this internet space, it is truly inspirational. xo
