Thank you all for these special and moving comments! It was an incredible, blessed experience!

The second song is a version of "The Irish Blessing" which I re-wrote the melody of as a lullaby for McKayla. I hope to record it soon.

Thank you again!! God bless you all!

I shouldn't have watched this at work, I am bawling! So inspiring...I am 22 wks now, hoping I can croak like a frog during birth...much less singing like an angel. Wow, your child just got THE welcome into this life.

What an awesome thing! You made the nurse cry! She's probably never seen a natural birth before (i.e. without meds). What a wonderful way to birth a baby -- to sing your baby into the world! :')

I'm due in 4 weeks and your video is so inspiring. This blessing was said at our wedding and it is so beautiful. I'm not so good at remembering lyrics but after watching you I'm going to make a cd of calming songs that I love to sing along to. Thank you for the inspiration!
