40 weeks and baby arrived on time!

I didn't get a chance to post a 40 week picture because baby arrived right on time. On his due date January 13, 2015 at 10:16 am. He weighed 9lb 8oz and was 20 1/4 inches. Another successful VBA3C praise Yahweh. I did have a set back where they couldn't break my water until the baby went lower so I was in labor longer than expected and had to have pitocin but Rusty my husband prayed for me and I felt a warmness on my back and tried to push baby down. Yahweh helped us through and they were able to break my water and so I went from a 6 to7 to a 10 and was able to push and had him in about 45 minutes. Also I prayed for no back pain and I did feel less pain in contractions and was able to cope longer. 


 Here is a summary of Ethan's Birth:

My doctor stripped my membranes at about 3:30 pm at my regular appointment on January 12 and at about 4 pm contractions began. I was at a 3 or 4 when she checked. Then I thought my water broke at home at about 7 pm and so we went to hospital at 9:10 pm Turned out being fluid build up but water was still intact. I did get admitted after 2 hours and was at about a 5 to 6. I was opting for no epidural for awhile but my water needed to be broken and they wanted to use pitocin to help so at 2:45 am I got a epidural and at 3:45 am I received pitocin. I was getting really tired and frustrated so then Rusty prayed for me and that is when I felt the help for pushing him down. I am glad even though my doctor wasn't on call I got her former partner and she was patient and waited to break water until it was safe. Soon after the prayer the doctor was able to break water at about 9:30  am and I had him at 10:16 am on his due date January 13, 2015. Praise Yahweh and my husband was a great encouragement and help.

36 Weeks

I have been feeling braxton hicks on and off but the real thing will be coming soon. Due date is January 13. I am asking Yahweh for help with pain management and praying for a natural birth of our 5th baby boy and 6th child. We are all very excited anticipating this blessing from Yahweh.  I am feeling pretty good although baby boy is getting heavy LOL He is moving around and doing well. I wonder when he will be here we all guessed what day for fun. My daughter and I picked the 28th which is the day after her birthday. We didn't know each other's guess until we all picked so we will see Yah willing. We praise him for our blessing on the way!

 

 

 

26 and 30 weeks

The top picture is 26 weeks and the bottom is 30 weeks. I am a bit behind since our main computer seems to be having issues. I am tired but feeling pretty good overall. I have not gained too much weight. My plan is to start a pregnancy exercise video. I need to try to fit that in with homeschooling :)We are very excited to be able to meet our new little guy in the near future. I have been praying to Yahweh in Yahshua's name for a natural birth and help with back labor. I feel very blessed and am excited for this wonderful new addition coming. Thank you Father for all you do. Please continue to increase our wisdom and discernment so that we can please you in all things! You are a awesome Father who is merciful, gracious and loving! Thank you so much for helping us home-school. We know you will write your statues and laws on our hearts. May it all be to your glory! We trust you and have no fear because perfect love casts out fear. In Yahshua's name amen.

20 weeks

Just hit the halfway mark!  On Monday my husband, daughter and 3 year old went  to my ultrasound. We found out we are having another wonderful............ BOY!!! Our daughter took it well and I was prepared for having another brother.  Good news we have plenty of boy clothes.He is a very healthy baby and so I praise Yahweh for this blessing. I got a little stressed about choosing a name. Since I have 4 boys I am running out of ideas LOL. All the kids names end in N and I wanted a Hebrew name this time. We actually agreed on a name we liked in the past and will announce the baby's name once he is born. My due date is January 13th. We are excited for this new addition to our family. Children are a blessing! The bottom picture is our lovely, wonderful daughter. So blessed to have her and our other boys. Thank you YAH!!!!

16 weeks

This update is a little late, our main computer was not working. I turned 16 weeks, July 31, 2014. I was still getting morning sickness especially in the morning it seems and I still wake up with morning sickness but it isn't as bad throughout the day. I am craving pizza, ice cream, hamburgers, lemonade and sometimes squirt but also fruits and veggies. My husband is having the cravings right along with me and morning sickness. I am not feeling as tired but get really tired toward evening instead of 2 to 3 pm which is fine with me I would rather be tired in the evening. He is pretty confident it is a girl because with our daughter he experienced the same thing. We will find out August 25th at our 20 week ultrasound! Our daughter is hoping for a sister and prayed for one. We are hoping for another girl as well since we have 4 boys, but I know this baby will be a blessing either way. 
 I plan on homeschooling all my grade school children and am very excited about that. This is the first year and there is sure to be challenges with a new baby but I know it will be worth it. Praise Yahweh for the support of my husband and the motivation and courage to start this new very important task of educating my children. I also pray that I can my oldest son will be protected and blessed as he starts eight grade and I can guide him through it. In Yahshua's name. Amen.

12 week Announcement!

I have not posted in awhile, of course I have been busy growing a new addition to our family due January 13, 2015. I praise Yahweh for this gift! I am now 12 weeks and we feel very blessed and excited. Our only daughter prayed for a sister so we will see what Yah's will is!
3. "Lo, children are an heritage of the Yahweh: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
⁴ As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
⁵ Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."  Psalm 127:3-5

I also have been busy planning our home-school for all our younger kids, I plan on posting on this in the future. I praise Yahweh  for this also because I would not be able to do this with our his help.
