โจ๐ธ๐ Aura Carmella ๐๐ธโจ
Born by the light of a waxing gibbous moon on 6/27/2026 at 1:44am.
You came into this world surrounded by love, a little chaos, the smell of lavender, and Aguacero by Perota Chinga playing our speaker. Present at your birth were the spirits of your ancestors, your mommy, your daddy, your GMa, Auntie Doula Rajah, a waiting room of praying family members, and a long list of others waiting up by their phones.
After 36 hours of labor we got to hold the truest manifestation of love in our arms.
Every thing in my birth plan went out the window one by one. Every plan I created and layer of control I THOUGHT I had needed to be laid down as an offering. Rolled out like a carpet to usher you in this realm.
Through the relentless contractions that brought me closer to meeting you, your dad was 100% present and by my side the entire time. (Itโs true what they say, dads catch a few strays - and he took em like a champ).
We are forever changed and so inexplicably in love with you. Welcome to the world my daughter, my heartbeat, my Aura ๐โจ๐ธ๐ชป
