Born 4:21 am August 26, 2009

Delivered by her daddy!!!

Had contractions for 2 hrs, really were not bad. Didn't wake daddy nor called the midwife until after the 2nd hour. At which 36 mins later Lexi arrived. It was amazing!! Lexi is absolutely beautiful and healthy.

Hannah has been such a mother hen, checking on Lexi and myself constantly up until she left to visit with papa and mawmaw at the farm.

Lauren every time Lexi cries she puts her binky in her mouth.

Micah rubbing her head and saying she is adorable.

The Business of Being Born

http://www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/

We just watched The Business of Being Born as a family. This documentary is informative, powerful, heartfelt, and just opens your eyes to the beauty of natural homebirth. I look forward to sharing with my husband and children the wonderful birth of Lexi Elliana and the bond we will all have with her. I pray that in sharing this with my children they will see childbirth as something beautiful, wonderful and natural not as an illness.

Baby #4 On The Way

Well, we only thought we were done. Baby #4 is in the oven cookin'. Haven't written in a while, felt like I was on my death bed the 1st trimester. Feeling much better, praise God!
