This update is long overdue, but I am just now able to post, thanks to my brother loaning me his iPad while I’m in the hospital with our newest addition….a baby girl!
We are beyond joyous to welcome our little sweetheart.
Although the norm for me is a glorious home birth with my kids all around, that was not to be had this time.
At 33, almost 34 weeks, my water broke, which, as you know means a trip to the hospital when you’re at this stage of the game.
My birth was nothing like my experiences I’ve been blessed with at home. No peaceful setting, no food or water allowed, and lots of stress. NO FUN.
I would love to be able to show you some pictures of our baby girl. But that will have to wait until we get home since I don’t have a way to upload them here.
A truly heartfelt thank you for your prayers – we needed every one!
Everyday is a blessing and we are ever-thankful as she progresses and hopefully we can be home again soon. My kids and hubby have had a nasty cough and have not been able to co me near her yet. It’s been such a trying time, but we do know things could be much worse.
God is in control and is taking care of our every need.
I’ll try to update as much as I can. In the meantime, keep praying!!
