A day before Ashley May's due date, her beautiful son came into the world. And she recorded it!

Most of all, it brings on intense waves of emotion: pain, excitement and unbridled joy. Listen to it all unfold, as real and raw as it gets. Produced by Ashley May and Shannon Rae Green, with editing assistance provided by Bian Elkhatib & Nikita Madhani.
