Our family is in such a season of rejoicing. There has been an enormous amount of lessons and experiences that we have encountered over the past few years. The trials and challenges have been so transformative and I'm truly blessed to know that each one serves a purpose.
Most recently, we welcomed our precious son to the family. I'm in awe every day and overwhelmed with gratitude. I had an amazing experience at the local birth center (http://www.newbeginningsbirthcenter.com/) in "The Cozy Room" with the support of my beloved husband and two midwives. Ultimately, it was a 6 1/2 hour journey that led to incredible bliss. Marlon shared his thoughts so poetically on his Facebook:
"In almost 40 Years of life, I have come face to face with no greater miracle than that of the birth of my children...
I have witnessed no greater beauty than that of a woman through the ordeal of labor... It is spiritual, physical, intellectual and metaphysical.. It is life transforming... That one would endure such pain and anguish for the love of the spark of life of that created in ones own image...
I think no greater bond exists than mother and newborn...
I have known no greater happiness and intimacy than being a part of my wife's birth experiences...
To fight physical fatigue, mental self doubt, and intense pain like a gladiator... And do so with the poise, grace, and delicacy of a Queen..."
