Vox Hunt: Heartwarming
Show us something that warms your heart.
What warms my heart? A peaceful birth.
I'm hoping for another one of these in July.
Mir was born at home March 1, 2000. In this photo, she was "between worlds." As she emerged from the water, the midwife put the cap on her head to conserve her body heat and her daddy snapped this photo. She has yet to draw her first breath. (Though she did just moments after this photo was taken.) She's my big, almost-seven year old now. She was the sunniest baby, and remains a happy little girl. See earlier entries for some examples of her antics.
And does my little Pisces love the water? Oh yes, she does.
