A day before this moment I found out that I was pregnant. This was when a booked prenatal photography session turned into my first home water birth. I woke up to my doula telling me that her water broke. I was there to fill the birthing pool. There to play with her first born. There to feel each breath, as she pushed and there to capture the moment he opened his eyes to the world. The song they sang to Rhythm whilst in the womb was the song he chose to be born to. “Your skin and bones, turn into something beautiful” made this moment nothing short of beautiful. It made there, their and they’re- here and ours. It was our time capsule together. So here I am- skin and bone, preparing for something beautiful. The birth of my own. The birth of a life of moments. A life to live far from alone.
