This episode is the recording that inspired this entire series: your birth story, as told with love by the humans who attended your birth — Nonas, TeeTee, Zia, Auntie C, Auntie Lauren, Auntie Jen, and Ness. This original recording happened on May 5, 2022, when Shayan was exactly one month old (so yes, enjoy the free oxytocin of baby sounds in the background!) and took quite a bit of time to edit as there were lots of fun tech challenges. So, of course, this is raw, real, and perfectly imperfect — as all good things (and births) are. Each birth story is necessary and valid to be shared in the mosaic of this world, and this one... this funny, supported, celebratory one is yours, Shayan.
