Can you help me find this slideshow?

Hi. Does anyone remember a homebirth slideshow that used to be on the mothering homepage? It was utterly beautiful and I believe was created by a mod here celebrating the birth of her son. There was no video, just music and pictures. I used to watch it often and would dearly love to see it again. In the final scene you see that her son has a cleft lip just to help you identify which particular slideshow it was although that fact is not a central one to the story.
Thanks.

Aside from this, I find the hundreds and hundreds of homebirth videos and slideshow on the web to be daunting. Do you have a favourite?

sorry, I'm don't know the one you're trying to find, but here is one that I just love - there truly are SO many out there, but for some reason I come back to this one all the time, I think it is all the pictures of different family members and - I don't know, its just really beautiful =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIFN3LZYkkI ETA: oh yes, and the final picture - cant' ever get enough of that smile!

I just watched this video you linked, and i sobbed through the WHOLE THING! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! And what an amazing song! I never heard it before...SO PERFECT! Thank you for sharing!

I'm so glad you liked it as much as I did! Yeah that song is beautiful, after I heard it the 1st time I went on a rampage on the internet and found out it is "lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks - definitely to be included on any compilations I make for my LOs birth in August!

Thanks! I can't get the song out of my head...just thinking about it makes me cry...and I'm not a Dixie Chicks fan, either...in fact I really don't like country music at all...but this is more of a folksy sound. I love it!

Yeah, their a bunch of mamas that wrote this song about their babies - I love the Dixie Chicks in general, but I feel like this is definitely one of those songs that just any woman who has ever been a mother or ever will be would connect to - it would be impossible not to....makes me wanna leave work and go get my 3 y.o. out of daycare and have a mommy and me day!!!

The one that used to be on the MDC page was Annakiss's, she used to be a mod here. It was a great video! I'm not sure where it is but you can probably try to PM her to ask.
