I must say this took me off guard at first when I saw it on Channel 5's website today. I would love to send flowers on your big day if you don't mind saying what hospital you're going to deliver at. Good luck to you and your new arrival, and brightest blessings to your family.

I must say you are a brave woman for what you are donig. I can't wait to check back and see the little one.

to Trisha who replied on 2006-03-11... Get a life and remember what your mother taught you... Keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything nice to say... Good luck with your birth!
By: Brian    On: 2006-03-11
 
Thank you Brian for your kind words and I do agree with you :) I think it's safe to say that Trisha has never watched " A Baby Story" on TLC on TV and how proud we women are that have the guts and pride in sharing our birth. This will not be a graphic event. It will be edited for it's showing. Babies are a precious gift and I'm very proud to do this :) Isn't it nice to live in America where you can voice your comments. ~Thank you again Brian~ God Bless
By: Asia Globatmommy    On: 2006-03-11
 
Hi Asia, I think its cool that you are doing this at 1st I was weirded out by it..but the more you think of it you are right its not different then TLC's A Baby Story and I watch that alot it gives women with out children the possiblity to see what going through the Birth is really like....its awesome your doing this good luck to you and hope your babys healthy and your both very happy....God Bless You....
By: ~Kelly~    On: 2006-03-11
 
hope your birth comes easy, considering it is your first birth. not to scare you but my first birth lasted 25 hours and 20 minutes of pushing and my second birth is due at the end of march!
By: leslie    On: 2006-03-11
 
This is in response to the "person who responded before me" notice I didn't call her a woman or lady, she's not worthy of that title. It was interesting enough to get your attention to come here and say your piece. Kind of sounds to me that your 4 births may have effected your brain and mouth. Who are you to judge her for what she is doing! I bet you come back and watch it though! I take it you are a millionare?? I can't wait to see this little baby. Best to you dear.. I think this is AWESOME!!!
By: Lisa TX    On: 2006-03-11
 
Hi Asia-I think what your doing is wonderful. People need to realize childbirth is a very natural and beautiful event. Those who have a problem with it,need not watch. As a mother of 2...enjoy every second, they grow up so fast! Best of luck for a happy healthy baby girl!!

Defying Gravity..freakin' awesom marketing! I thought of some ideas like this on advertising a few years back, but never pursued it...I think it's cool. Heck why not get $1000 and do something nice for your daughter with it. Great on both ends. I have two other marketing ideas...I gues I better get them going before someone else does! Congraqts to boths parties!
By: David Fenton MO    On: 2006-03-12
 
Asia don't even pay attention to any of the idiots. You are very special to a lot of people and we all know that when you do something out of the ordinary, you will get a lot of people who are jelous and wish they had thought of the idea first. Just keep your head held high and be proud of what you are doing. You are going to be a great mommy to Mia..and I can't wait to see photos of her!!! Good Luck sweety and tell your mom to call me when you go into labor. I wanna be there so bad....lol
By: Terri    On: 2006-03-12
 
Wow, that's an awesome thing to do Asia, I read it in a local newspaper over here, you're really getting famous ^_^. If more people were as brave as you, then everybody would be doing it! Best of luck, hope it's an enjoyable event :) Simon
By: Simon    On: 2006-03-12
 
I'am SHOCKED!! So many well wishes and some "well !!" go figure I expected that but hey! Thank you wonderful people for #1 Coming here to check this site out and #2 taking the time to post your comments. Let me first say " No Baby Yet" A local TV station was on there way over here the other day for a interview and wouldn't you know it.. I thought I was starting labor but it passed. She will be here by this time next week though:) and her daddy and I are thrilled. I do want to clear up one thing and I don't know how it got in the media but this will NOT be a live broadcast. It will be filmed and edited before it is released to Globat.com for them to put it on defyinggravity.com so once I have sent the tape to them they will do there magic and get it on the internet for all to see :) Asia Globatmommy
By: Asia Globatmommy    On: 2006-03-12
 
I hope everything goes as expected. I have a 9month old and I know that during labor I did not care who was in the room, I just couldn't wait to hold my new baby boy. Well, i wish you the best of luck and many years of happiness
By: Erin    On: 2006-03-13
 
Asia, I love the idea, lets hope everything goes great for you guys. I saw this story today on our local news and think this is going to be big news. Best of luck!
By: Dave Cook    On: 2006-03-13
 
I, can't wait to see and i think this is awesome wish you the best of luck and may you and your family be blessed
By: Jb    On: 2006-03-14
 
I too think it is a cool thing for you to feel comfortable enough to share the birth of your daughter online for the whole world to see and share with like someone else stated birth is a very precious experience for any NORMAL person and no one should be ashamed it is a fact of life and the ones who can not understand this needs to go back to middle school health classes and study the process all over again congratulations, as a mother of a 5 yr. old boy and twin boys that are 2 best wishes and I only hope your life is half a blessed as mine is. Cherish every moment because in the blink of an eye she will be 5 and you will wonder where did it all go. My great grandmother told me before she died to cherish every moment, make memories that your kids will remember and when they are grown then you can worry about cleaning and chores just do what has to be done like the laundry and Do what needs to be done LOVE YOUR CHIlDREN.

You guys are all so nice and you have no idea how much that means to me and to my family. Thank you each for your wonderful comments. Well here is what is going on as of Wednesday evening. Since I am now past my due date which was the 14th my Dr's appointment is in the morning "Thursday" at which time they will give me some meds to get the process started, so hopefully by the next post we will have our baby GIRL!! :) As soon as we can we will have some pictures posted for you to see until we can get the video to Globat for them to get up. We are very much looking foward to being parents and raising our precious little one thank God has blessed us with. Being a new parent is very scarey since they don't come with instructions haha but with family and friends everything will work out just fine :) I also want to thank ALL the TV stations and Radio stations and all the internet sites that have found this story worthy of covering. I thought I'd do one more Ebay auction before having the baby if anyone is interested. It is a signed "by Asia" Globat T-shirt that I will sign to whoever wins it. It's just my way of going out with a "Bang" so if you know how to get to it on ebay here is the auction # 5676939303 KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS I NEED THEM :) ~Asia~

We have a HEALTHY AND PRECIOUS BABY... Born Saturday morning :) PICTURES AND VIDEO COMING SOON... ~Asia~
By: Asia Globatmommy    On: 2006-03-20
 
Congrats on your new arrival. Hope you all are doing great. I love the idea of having the baby experience so others can view. Good Luck.
By: JSB    On: 2006-03-21
 
I think it's wonderful what you are doing. There has some moral issues about what you are doing. Those who disagree with what you are doing say " that having a baby should be shared between the man and wife and close family" but it is my opinion that if you show your life, you are sharing with your family and friends. We are friends and family here on this site. GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR NEW BUNDLE OF JOY.

Thank you for all your nice postings. Baby Miah is now a little over 1 month now. Time sure has gone fast!! We had the pleasure of meeting the Globat staff out in LA and let me say they are ALL wonderful people and we are so glad to have met them in person. We had a blast while we were there. We even met up with Mark the man who got the tattoo on his neck and his friend.. They are really nice guys and we loved riding in the limo with them. THANK YOU GLOBAT :) Asia Globatmommy

By: Mark The Globat Human Billboard    On: 2006-04-26
 
Hi ya Mark, I agree with you it was GREAT to meet the Globat family and you of course :) Globat did a good job when they bought your auction. You have done them well and I'm sure they are happy with all of us. I'd love to go back to Hollywood again someday and spend a little more time but you know what.. We couldn't have asked for a better time. My Sister said to tell you guys HI and Miah sends to kisses, Man she is almost 1 1/2 months old already now. Hey if you didn't have a camera on the trip I would be more than happy to send some to you? Be Blessed my new friend. Asia Globatmommy

By: Terri    On: 2006-05-18
 
Ayo, Was Good Asia, Just had to drop by and say CONGRATULATIONS! Being the father to 3 lil girls myself, I know how absolutely perfect that moment is. I am a man who usually prides myself on no tears, but I cried like a baby when they were born. Miah is gorgeous, and I wish your family all the best. Also, thank you for dropping by my page and showing your support. Maybe we'll all meet one of these days if they do another reunion. Best of Luck, and take care of yourself and that beautiful little girl!!! - Robb-Ree

Our little Globat baby is sure growing up fast. She will soon be 3 months old and she is a doll. She is a happy and fun little baby and smiles all the time and loves to be talked too. She is already trying to roll over and pulls her self up when she's in our arms. As you can tell we love her very much and she is still known by many when we are out in public. She proudly displays GLOBAT.COM/DEFYINGGRAVITY.COM on her stroller and that gets every ones attention. I think she misses Helen and Andrea from Globat though :) ~Asia~

I just had to come and tell you guys....we went camping not long ago and met some people we were telling about Globat.com and they said they were from around St. Louis and fixing to move to Texas. I told them we were in wentzville and they said we were right down the road from where they lived and they said that they saw some girl that had the sponsorship of her baby on television and it was Globat.com that sponsored it and I said YES Those are our friends, and thats the same web hosting company that sponsored our trip to White Castle. He said he saw our story in the Wentzville Journal. It was amazing and such a small world. He was just so excited about meeting people in Texas that he had previously read about in his Hometown paper in another state!!! Hope you guys get a thrill out of that like we did. We all then went down and fed the racoons some brim we had caught after we got done fishing. They were very nice people.
By: Terri    On: 2006-06-13
 
WOW!! Talk about it being a small world, I bet that was kind of a shock to you huh! People still come up to me and ask "Aren't you that woman that was on TV with the internet birth" I laugh and say "Yes I'm her" then of course they start talking to Miah. With as much publicity as Globat.com has gotten it doesn't suprise me that you came across from some good ole Missourians. Your event was really unique and fun to watch and I'm sure you haven't heard the last from people who will remember who you are and what you did...I mean 300 White Castle burgers..lol
By: Asia Globatmommy    On: 2006-06-17
 
It has been awhile since I have posted so I thought I'd do a quick update. People from around my area still remember the ebay auction and news coverage of the sponsored birth story, I guess it jogs there memory when they see my Globat shirt. Miah is now 5 months and is the joy of my life. She is a very happy and loved baby. She is trying to crawl and talks all the time. Time has sure gone fast thats for sure. Before I know it she will be having her 1 st BD. Asia and Miah

THAT WAS AWESOME! YOUR BABY IS BEAUTIFUL!
By: dee    On: 2006-09-01
 
Asia I can't believe how big Miah has gotten. She is just beautiful and I am so glad we got a chance to meet and hold her. I often come back here to watch the video because it is so sweet. We love you guys, Terri
By: Terri S    On: 2006-09-20
 
Marvelous. Thanks, will spread this among my friends!
By: hermeshandbags    On: 2006-12-26
 
Where does time go!! Miah is now 10 months old, has 2 teeth, and trying so hard to walk now. She LOVES to listen to music and dance. You never know we may do another auction for her 1st BD.. now wouldn't that be something..lol Miah sends her love to all at the Globat team. ~Asia~
