“The day you give birth 300,000 women around the world will be giving birth too. Imagine All Of You Becoming Mothers Together.” –Birthing From Within

This week I have the most exciting news to share with you all. On February 12th at 3:29 pm I gave birth to a baby girl. Her coming into this world and from within me was an experience that is indescribable.

The moment the doctor held her up before my eyes, cut her cord and lay her on my chest was by far the best moment of my life. Her beautiful big dark eyes, open wide and looking into my eyes with familiarity.

When the doctor took her for a moment to swaddle her, we heard her first cry. When they placed her back in my arms, I was surprised a baby of her size came out of me. She was 8 pounds and 12 ounces. It was such an amazing delight to finally be able to see how she looked and hold her next to me.

I was in absolute awe at the ability of the human body to create this little being before me. My husband looked deeply into my eyes, and the tears began to fall softly from his eyes as he admired his baby girl. He softly whispered into my ear, “ We did it baby….I am so happy!”

I felt honored to be a woman and be able to carry a life force inside of me. One of the best things about my labor was that I had both my parents there with me. My mom was with me during my entire labor and my dad and his wife were in the next room.

Immediately after she was born, my dad appeared in the room and began taking numerous pictures of her. His passion is photography and he has become exceptionally good at it. He captured some of the first memorable moments of her right after she was born. With in two days, he had taken over 100 photos of her. She will grow to love the camera. 
 

To have the people I love most share this experience of bringing a child into the world was so magical. My labor was extremely intense and long. I was able to be at home with my midwife for almost the whole time. All 18 hours of it. However by the end I was exhausted and needed to go to the hospital to push her out.

I found my inner voice while in labor. I chanted almost the entire 18 hours. The power of my voice and positive affirmations and visualizations is what allowed me to move through the intensity of each contraction. Once my labor was over, I knew I could not of endured that experience naturally if it were not for having my yoga practice.

My husband and I decided to have the sex of the baby be a surprise. Early on in my pregnancy I had a strong premonition that I was having a girl and it was also revealed to me through my meditations. However, during my pregnancy over a hundred people; strangers and friends commented that they believed I was having a boy. As she was being born, everyone in the room was saying it’s a GIRL!! Yes…my intuition was right from the start.

Her full name is India Jahzara Batson Varona. She is such a wonderful baby and just the most gorgeous being I have ever laid eyes on. When you become a mother, I think you always feel this way.

I have entered baby heaven. Having India come into my life is the best gift I could ever be blessed with. A few days after we were home, my mom and I were sitting on the couch. I looked over at her, tears began to fill my eyes and I said “I am the happiest I have ever been in my entire life.”

My mom looked at me with a loving smile and a tear rolling down her cheek, “Yes honey, remember I told you, once she is born, you will never love anything as much as her.”

Little India, we welcome you.

Continue to stay in the presence of all that is magnificent.

Love and Smiles,

Om Namaha Shivaya,

Sara
