Well, after hijacking Trish's thread (and causing much linkage and confusion) I thought I should probably get my own thread. Sorry Trish!
For your pleasure, a photo montage of Olivia's birth, at home, into water.
Olivia's Birth (Short Version)
Please enjoy, and feel free to post comments here or on the Dailymotion page where it is hosted.
Thanks for inspiring me to finish this off, Trish :D.
Very beautiful :) Thanks for sharing Michael! You have a gorgeous little family there...
*hugs*

awww how gorgeous... Thanks :)
Beautiful presentation Michael. It definitely brought tears to my eyes. Olivia looked so peaceful and calm - the water birth obviously agreed with her. I especially love the photo of her looking at mummy before the cord was cut. Very special memories!
Very well done. I had tears. Your wife looked so happy and calm!
Oh Michael, that is so beautiful. Well done to all of you for a beautiful birth, and a great photo presentation, and well done on the home water birth......inspirational. I love watching births, and your presentation is one of the nicest ones I have ever seen........
Beautiful.. and some great pics to treasure there
YAY Michael ;)
Once again hun I think it looks great. I know how much crap Victoria went through in the weeks leading up to Olivia's birth and am so happy everything turned out fantastic.
Now to get that little girl to sleep for you :)
Thanks darling- for showing my fanny to the world!!!! no, only joking, you did a lovely job and took some beautiful pictures of our baby coming into the world. Next time you can do the pushing and I'll take the photo's!. Now there's a good idea eh girls!!!!!
PMSL Kiki!! You looked great don't worry. What a beautiful video and a gorgeous name for the baby, co-incidentally Olivia Rose was the name we had chosen if Riley was a girl.
Kiki, I think that's a great idea. Especially for Mark hey ;)
wow wow wow. just beautiful.. i am a blubbering mess. xoox
Oh that was just beautiful :)
I really enjoyed that, I have a little tear as well. Congratulations :)
Oh wow, that was so beautiful to watch. I'm a bit teary now too.
Hi Michael, I'd love to see your pictures. He he I must be stoopid though as I can't seem to get them to play past the first 31 seconds.... Any ideas for what I might be doing wrong?
i dont usually leave messages but i get on bb everyday but i have to say that schmickers that was beautiful and you had me in tears watching it you have such a beautiful daughter olivia, i am just wondering what is the name of the song that plays it is a lovley song

Thanks so much for sharing your presentation Schmickers. ROFL Kiki I I'm in tears and laughing at you at the same time!
Kirsty, It plays quicker than it downloads so click on the pause button until the whole thing (or most of it ) has downloaded (you'll see a bar go across as it downloads) and then you'll get past the first few seconds. HTH
Hi Kiki, Thanks for the tip. That was exactly the problem. I am feeling quite teary after watching it. It is a truely beautiful birth. Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing it with us. You and Michael must be so proud of your latest addition to the family. Olivia and Molly are gorgeous!!! Congratulations and well done.
That was so beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
maybe the owners/administrators of the site thought some of the images were too graphic?
But have you seen other birthing videos on Youtube some are much more graffic, atleast with a waterbirth video the water obstructs some of the view.
Yep Caro, they sure are and what a gorgeous couple they are :D
I can't see many on you tube because of dial up but when I checked the site it said it was removed due to content breech, which is a shame really that something like that can be construed as 'graphic'
Yup, that's right Caro :D
Ah, removed! Let us know when it's back up...
*sigh* - it got pulled off Youtube twice as well. Don't know whether its because we used backing music or or because it is someone giving birth.
Anyway, its on our homepage now: http://www.michaelandvictoria.id.au/...g2_itemId=2421
