Check out this song on Youtube called "Sacred Birth." My dear friend Callie wrote this song about the beauty of giving birth and that birth is sacred and should be respected as such.

"The concept for this song is contraction and expansion, a metaphor for labor. It's about birth as a microcosm of life and the paradox of yielding in order to triumph. Mothers give birth to babies, but also to new, stronger versions of ourselves. When a birthing woman is undisturbed, free from fear and distraction, she produces oxytocin, the "hormone of love", in abundance. Unhindered birth is a blissful, transcendent experience."
This song hits home for many mothers, old and young. As women, we have the sacred duty to carry, birth and rear our children. What better way to prepare us for the challenges that come with children than to experience the birthing process in all its entirety. There comes a point during labor when a woman is scared.She doesn't know if she can go on much longer. That is the point in which a woman must surrender and let go! She must give up all fear and doubt to embrace her moment of triumph in order to welcome her little one into the world. As mothers we welcome the sweet, fresh baby, who came strait from heaven, into our arms.
I welcome my baby Asher Joseph Parker into our family!
