Rereading this as I’m about two months from birthing my second. The “en caul” birth only happens in 1 in 80,000 births – that’s amazing! Thank you for sharing. I loved reading this. Very inspiring. I am trying for a VBAC in a hospital so not very similar situations but the strength of woman is the same no matter where you birth. I’ll have midwives and a doula. And Major looks the same as he does now!

This is beautiful! Everything and every word you wrote! And the pictures wow!
My sister-in-law Kharis Davey is in the red shirt here At your birth Of Major.
She was a midwife assistant at the time I think. She was at all of my births 😉
My son is now 13 months and he actually shares his birthday with his aunt Kharis.
I’m not sure if you will get this message but I just wanted to say your stories and writing are beautiful and from one mother to another, God bless you!

Love ally 🙂

[…] our area, the public school cutoff is January 1st for each grade which is pretty late. With a late October birthday, it’s always made me nervous the idea of him starting kindergarten at 4 years old– and […]

I read this post for the first time the other day and wanted to comment and then I just saw your insta post and decided I had to. I literally sobbed when I read this post. So amazing and beautiful!! I think my girls are exactly the same age as your children and I remember my labor and deliveries so vividly. They are my favorite stories and now I’m inspired to write them down so I can always remember them as vividly. I got to Major’s birth story from your new post about saying goodbye to your house, which I also cried through, haha. My parents are selling their house. They moved in a little over 34 years ago right before I was born. Our memories there are endless. My husband and I had our wedding there under a big white tent in the backyard. It will be so hard to say goodbye but we will. And, we’ll cherish every memory made there forever. Thanks so much for sharing all of this.

I’m 37, almost 38 weeks pregnant with my second child and wanted to reread this birth story again as inspiration for my upcoming labor. I was in happy tears the entire time. Thank you for making me excited and get all the feels for going in to what I was beginning to feel nervous about (knowing what is coming (kindof)). I appreciate your honesty and sharing this special moment in your family’s life.

Eva, such an amazing story ,when we give birth we are sooo the universal mother and we tap into the univesal power, our reptilian brain takes over. When we have a natural birth. Sooo well done i loved reading you and feeling all your emotions, talking about natural birth , i gave birth to my 1st child , a daughter, Amicie in Zurick , we had just moved there and i didn t know the language, no epidural, huge baby i was so worried that they might take her away before i could have her skin to skin on me that i ended up pulling her out myself.. i looked up , 7 midwives and doctors german speaking and staring.. 🙂 ah, the universal primitive me had taken over :), what a blessing it is to be a woman and a mom , so well done Eva, harnessing your beautiful strength and power and love in those precious moments. Thanks! .Love .Laure.

Wow! So emotionally powerful! I’m sitting here crying. That is the most beautiful birth story I’ve ever heard. What a lovely environment in which to say: Welcome to our family; welcome to the planet!
Major still has the same look! I think it’s the eyes, but I’d have know it was him.

Such a sacred story, Eva. ?

I just read this beautiful birth story and thank you for the raw honesty. I have three children and being married to a doctor, I could never entertain a home delivery. I wished at least I had tried once. Nonetheless, reading your story I feel like I’ve shared the experience with you as you tell us details so vividly. Your family is beautiful and I wish you continued love and blessings.
