let me elucidate some moments around the birth of this cheruban upside down plum cake made from the neighbours tree passed through the window on the very same day
drinking the moet, gave to us by tilly & Elwin when we announced her conception, with our brilliant midwife
Sylva dancing the tango with her to put her to sleep
4 times cooked chicken soup. Lou Lou doing her best reading ever to a fresh in the world hermione.
watermelon & rosepetals in the bath in early labour
Sylva & Hugh jumping in the birth pool like kids to the ocean on a sunny day moments after she was born
the midwife pulling my sit bones open to help her passage through my pelvis
waking in the night to dicuss the meaning of life & family with your lover after being moved by the event of birth, Hugh says no one could murder after they feel the wispered breath of a fresh born babe.
it took me two months to write this and even then with one hand, the other cradling small head to breast.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful Jasmine. I felt like I was right there with you! Congratulations on your babe and bringing her into the world in such spectacular fashion. Just amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for opening your blogging sit bones to help ease us into the passage of your birthing pool. It's so warm and fragrant and bloody in here. I wish I didn't have to leave. xx
