43 Week Rural Home Birth – Birth Takes a Village

Our baby boy decided to land on the earth under the star of his choice, Wednesday September 5th at 3:07am, at home on Bowen Island. 8.1 pounds, and not a day overdue at 43 weeks.

Onyx Ganada (Raven) Davidson, Your pregnancy and birth has given me the vitality, strength, power, wholeness, and spiritual awe I’ve striven to achieve my whole life. You are the Raven who brought me light. The adoration you show me in the depths of your eyes feels like the deepest display of gratitude for listening to your wisdom when no one else would.

“Hold me nowBecause I’m tired hereComing down slowlyFrom the life that I livedInto your armsSide by side againSo many lifetimesSo many changes in the windWe go on and onFrom our forefathersSharing their stories

Sharing their traits as we tread

And it’s you I seeWhen I close my eyesComing down slowlyWings open wideMy angel loveThe one I’ve waited forWhispering softlyTo the depths of my soul,

this is love”

Xavier Rudd, True love

I thought I might contribute a MASSIVE shout out to the woman who helped me bring both of my babes into the world, Jessica. Her support, knowledge, power, presence, and beyond were all the reasons why I very safely and beautifully birthed both of my babes at home on Bowen island. The first born at 42 weeks and the second at 43 weeks.

She helped me stay focused on my intuition, the communication from my body along with the hard facts from science and believed in me that everything I was choosing to do was actually the safest route for my births. I love you Jess. I wish all babies could have your magic presence upon their first breaths.

Here’s my magnificent placenta. This powerful organ and it’s rare shape helped grow a perfect extremely healthy boy.
