Four years ago this morning I experienced the whole of the universe moving through my body as I peacefully pushed my daughter out into the quiet waters of a birth pool in our family room. The sun was begining to rise, the fire was crackling in the fireplace, and the season's first snow was falling. It was one of the most peaceful, powerful, beautiful moments of my life.
Happy Birthday precious Bluebird. We love you big as the universe. You've brought the stars down for us all to dance in.
I'm taking the rest of today off to celebrate with my family.
Love to all!
Rachel

It’s amazing how strongly imprinted these moments of birth are, permanently etched in our brains. And how lovely when it’s a beautiful peaceful memory. 🙂
oh my. that made me tear up a little. birth stories always do that. even if they are short ones.
Thank you Andrae. Ill tell the whole beautiful story someday. Maybe next November. It was an amazing birth (arent they all, in their own way?).
