I’m currently working on an editing project (video) for a close friend. So tonight I was searching for some files on my external hard drive and came across the video of Baby 2.0’s birth. Don’t be alarmed the video I posted is not, I repeat, NOT a childbirth video. My younger sister caught Baby on tape burping after her first feeding. When I played the video tonight, the memories of the birth and that first day of her existence, all came flooding back to me. The thought of the pain was first. Then I began remember the smells, the soothing sound of my midwife’s voice, how Baby’s juicy lips were the first thing I noticed when I laid eyes on her. How I just felt at peace after 9 stressful months and several hours of painful labor. There’s nothing that I’ve ever done in my 27 years of living that compares to those peaceful moments immediately after my daughter’s birth. I would do it all over again. Um, well…let me think about that one .
