My New Work

My son, Judah Darwin Zucker Goren, was born at home (in the water) yesterday morning. We were gently and lovingly attended to by a midwife and a doula. My husband and our older two sons (and Lindsey, our poet/babysiter) witnessed Judah’s arrival. It was everything I could have hoped for. It was, in the most profound sense of the word, awesome.

  2. Rachel, that’s wonderful. Congratulations! I am so happy that you were able to have the birthing process exactly the way you wanted it. Sounds beautiful: an experience shared by the whole family.
    Blessings to all of you.

  5. Congratulations! And a hearty “hear hear” for the word awesome being better suited to bringing life into the world than slang.
