Then, after what seemed so much waiting... my previous blog post is already, another season ago.
So once again, I've been blessed to have a baby the way I wanted to, in my home, with my beloved husband (without whom I could never have been so strong). With an inspiring professional midwife, and a couple of amazing Tully mothers and their brains trust of wisdom, love and truth at my disposal.
He's been so wonderful - a grizzly, red faced, breast feeding machine! who then looks around so carefully clocking our faces and learning our voices - it's taken a couple of days to get some successful photos for this blog post, because if I'm not feeding him, it's only a matter of time until he starts to wriggle...
For here, I introduce:
Oliver George Tully
Born at 6:31pm
February 13, 2011
In the Green House!

In short, we're all besotted.
And February, was oh so good to me! Now my year has begun...

ReplyDeleteA Baby's feet, like sea-shells pink,
Might tempt, should heaven see meet,
An angel's lips to kiss, we think,
A baby's feet.
Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat
They stretch and spread and wink
Their ten soft buds that part and meet.
No flower-bells that expand and shrink
Gleam half so heavenly sweet
As shine on life's untrodden brink
A baby's feet.
Wow! Shell it is so amazing to see your blessed bundle of joy. He is so precious and handsome already. Ladies look out, lol. I'm so glad you were able to give birth at home with the help of your DH and all the family as well as a great doula. God give you energy and enough rest. Blessings. xx

ReplyDeletedearest dear,
ReplyDeletehow I love to see that beautiful baby face, and know that you are so well in health and spirits. Whenever I see a little babe like oliver george, or think of our ability (our blessing) to make and birth and tend to new life I think of psalm 139:
"For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well"
amen!
He is beautiful!! ♥
