Earthside

The warm wind of Spring brought our new baby boy to us yesterday! Jediah Zephyr was born at home on 20 April, at 1.30pm, weighing 8lbs 14.5ozs. He certainly took his time deciding which day was right for him - almost two weeks past his 'due' time - but here with us after a fast 2.5 hour labour! We are all so in love with him!



What a beautiful time this is. Every moment counts so very much. To finally hold him and touch him and smell that new baby smell, to look into those eyes and watch those expressions - to welcome him into our family.
Such a blessing!
