Ellie Irie! How to even start describing you and all that
you mean in my life and your parent’s life. You came to this world through the
ebbs and flow of peace and pain. From your mom reaching the heavens with her
vocal chords and the concentration of all her energy on to you, while the sky
was lighting up, releasing its potential energy, to the peaceful, silent moments
of the breaks between each contraction.
Your parents had built the nest and the pool for you to come
into a cozy place in this world and chose the best guides to guide them through
the process of bringing you in.
I didn’t see your mom give birth to you but I felt it so
clearly. Part of my energy was connected to yours. I was cheering for your mom,
screaming to my insides, “Vamo Lauren!!!!” Lauren and every mom of the world,
you guys are amazing! You guys are the miracle together with the new born. I
thought playing rugby, tackling someone as hard as I could or even breaking my
knee’s ligaments or my nose was tough. Not even close. Women are the tough
ones. No man will ever experience what a woman experiences when giving birth.
Ellie Irie, your coming into this world through your mom was one of the most humbling
and magical experience I have ever felt.
The process was magical. The day started with your mom
singing and ohming to tune up her body for the experience. The ohmings were in
tune with the contractions. The contractions slowly built up and got closer
together as the day advanced. The expectaction was elevating. Lauren was
getting ready. At around 4:30pm the mid wife arrived and half an hour later the
doula arrived was ready. Mom, dad, the midwife and the doula were ready for the
ceremony. The contractions were in the few minute ranges and the pain was
elevating exponentially. Lauren in the birth tub, Chris holding her hand and
documenting the experience and Vicky and Naty orchestrating all the efforts
based on Lauren’s body reactions.
After one hour and a half of your mom going through a Trans
of pain and peace, Ellie Irie you were born. Coming out of your mom, into the
warm water and then into the air. You took your first breath! Your mom told you
“I love you so much, Ellie Irie!” You gently cried, understanding this new way
of being by breathing. Then you were peaceful in your parents nest. The storm
had passed. The rain fell gently on the house’s roof. The house was filled with
the new family’s peace. I wept of happiness outside the door and Elkita arrived
to feel the magical energy.
You were born 7:21pm on July 7th of 2015 in
Atenas, Alajuela, Costa Rica.
Welcome Ellie Irie! Happy 2nd day on this Earth!
