beautiful birth




The fact that the father is away at war doesn't get me so much - well, the idea that he's in danger of his life does, of course, I just don't feel so sentimental about war.

But the birth looks so beautiful, the photos are gorgeous. Another showcase for natural, gentle birth. I kept REALLY wanting him to walk into the room, as well :(

Oh man, that made me get goosebumps AND tears.
What an amazing woman, to do it at home, without her husband. KUDOS!! I can't help but wonder why the Dad wasn't allowed home for that?! That's crazy?!
I had a water birth with my little man, and I so want to do it again.Oh I am all clucky and drunk and teary now.

Ha, I know!

You're right, it would be normal to get home for the birth, no? Funds all exhausted, maybe? It's a tough decision, the whole army-family thing.
