This is the story of our three home births, including surprise twins. And for those who wonder, yes, we are one of the families featured on the Discovery Health / TLC show "Twins by Surprise". They actually found us on this video :)

  • 0:50 - wht is tht?!?!

  • @emogirl1234ist It's a scale used for home births. Kind of a sling of material that hangs from a scale - baby is placed inside. Very gentle way of weighing them after the birth :)

  • That music that is playing at 02:44,...could you tell me what it is. It is gorgeous. The video is too!!!

  • @taratkd If you go back in the comments, I list the songs and the CD title, but I don't have it near me right now and I've been extremely busy this summer, so hopefully you can find it!

  • i always am amazed when i see women giving birth. but god bless you guys. were u terrified when u found out you were pregnant. am not pregnant but i am terrified of the idea of ever having kids

  • @wendyjeanlouis The only thing I was afraid of before I ever got pregnant, was having an emergency c-section. The idea of surgery always frightens me a little, and is what actually led me to discovering home birth. I was recommended to look into midwives in order to avoid a c-section, and the birth stories I read were simply amazing. These women weren't scared during their births - they were excited! I knew right then that it was the route I wanted to go :)

  • @lulututu9899 - The baby has been in "water" for almost 9 months, "breathing" through the umbilical cord. Even after birth, the cord will supply oxygen to the baby until it is brought up out of the water to take it's first breath...

  • this is beautiful! congrats on you "suprisingly" big family! :) i also had a water birth. best thing ever!

  • Your family is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for choosing to homebirth and breastfeed your gorgeous children; in doing so you've given them a gift nearly as precious as life. I've had two inductions in the hospital and they were miserable, traumatic experience. I have no idea what real birth feels like. Someday I want to have a homebirth; until then I strive to become a doula and IBCLC. Thanks for being amazing! :)

  • This is a wonderful video. Thanks for posting it.

  • Im 35 weeks and 1 day, with child no 4, wish I could have a home birth but home births cost money

  • 1:58 is so precious, the look on Caleb's face says a thousand words.

    Fantastic.

  • What a beautiful family you have. God bless you all!

  • WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!
