  • So we just had another baby :) River is now 2 and his little sister Austen Rose was born a few weeks ago. There will be a new video... we are just editing it now. It was quite a story that we are proud to share.

  • I removed all the frumlady comments and post. Frumlady was trolling the same comments on several videos all over. I allowed the conversations for a month, but this place is a safe place for rejoicing in birth. Some people might have had a homebirth/ waterbirth, and some may have had the complete opposite. Either way the babies are joyful creations in whatever way they to come.

  • I cried!

  • @wootsup981 :)

  • The support for this video is overwhelming. I am proud to say that my wife and I are helping to host a screening in San Antonio, TX of the movie, "Move Business of Being Born" and my wife is going to be speaking in a panel discussion at the event. Thank you everyone River is doing well and in October he will have a little sister, Austen Rose, come into this world... and hopefully a new birth video :) I hope this encourages you if you are thinking of having a natural birth.

  • That was beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes. Great job!

  • @archergrl1996 Thanks! today we are having a birthday party for that little baby in the video. He officially is two years old now. I never get tired of watching my sons birth here.

see all

  • he looks sooo strong and healthy

  • Aww, this was so sweet...made me cry... ;-)

  • WHY would a newborn require a dummy?????!!!!! Babies use their cry to communicate when they don't have words. There is a simple checklist: are they hungry/thirsty? are they wet/dirty? are they scared/lonely and need comfort? are they tired and need to be soothed to sleep? A dummy keeps them dumb, disables the parent from meeting their needs, and can impede speech development and encourage oral fixation. Do we really want that as parents or do we want to learn to listen & respond adequately?

  • nice baby 

  • Beautiful!!!!!

  • It's so sweet that he is there for her. Always&Forever. :)
