He's Here!

Meet Simon! He made his entrance into the world on September 10 at 10:48 pm. We can't stop singing God's praises for this little guy. The whole experience was amazing and completely different than my first birth. Here he is fresh out of the oven and a very happy mommy.
Isaac loves him already. And check out the matching shirts I made for my boys.
And our first family portrait.We are so overjoyed at God's goodness to us.

Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-

who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,

who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Thanks for praising God with us!

A Quick Update

When I posted on August 25th, I never thought I'd be where I am right now. Thanks everyone for being patient with my lack of posts.

Here's a quick update.

I'm 5 days past my due date and still no baby. I've gone into labor twice only to have it die down after about 8 hrs. each time. This morning I was sure it was time but got sent home from the hospital.

It's hard to believe that I've been in labor for 2 days now. Feeling really tired and my body is sore from all the work it's doing.

It's also been a faith journey. I'm trusting God's perfect timing and His perfect plan though it's been hard at times. Mostly I'm trusting that He'll help me to physically endure and that He'll get my body doing what it's supposed to to get this baby out.

I hope I have some great news soon.

Thanks for sticking with me.
