Emma Gabrielle Bradley entered the world at the first of this year. Her parents were able to capture the event on film, and an amazing slide show is their result (other than baby Emma, of course!).

I for one, had to have three c-sections. I dreamed of a birth like this, and nearly achieved it, albeit in the hospital, with our second. So, I suppose, for me, this is just vicarious living.

But if you are planning a birth, and are considering home, water, natural, or some combination of all, this is a truly inspirational set of pictures. Enjoy.
