Birth Announcement!
Praise God! The daughter that he entrusted to us 9 months ago is now in our arms!
Sarah (our third daughter) was born on Monday morning at 10:25 a.m. I went into labour Sunday night at around 11 p.m., but everything was fairly relaxed, and I was able to get some sleep between contractions (sometimes 9 minutes, sometimes 20) until around 5 a.m. This was definitely my most peaceful labour to date, and my quietest - this is also my first childbirth as a Christian! It was a very sweet experience, and through it I was able to share some thoughts about the Lord with my birth attendants :). Sarah is 10 lbs. and 19.5” long, so I suppose she’s a chubby girl! She looks so tiny compared to her big sisters though (8 lb. 3 oz. and 9 lb. 4 oz. at birth)! She is a great nurser! We are so thankful that God has blessed with a safe labour and delivery – we think she’s adorable of course ;). We are all sleepy-heads, but that is to be expected!
I’m so thankfull to Dr. Lidkea who delivered her at home in the water, to the doula’s Mary and Tamara, and to the RN Marg for attending our birth. Thanks to my Mom for letting us labour and birth in her living room. Thanks so much to my grandparents for their gracious hospitality while we’ve been waiting for our new little one, and for their first class post-partum meal preparation! We couldn’t have done it without you all!

Congratulations! She’s beautiful.
All my children were born at home.
Never had a water birth, though I’ve attended three of them (my niece’s). I wanted to at least labor in the water with my last, but the minute my first contraction started, I was up and out of the water like a tsunami (hee hee, ridiculous simile). I just couldn’t stand it.

Congratulations, Jennifer! She is a sweet chubby little dolly (and your big girl qualifies on the cutie pie dolly side, too!)
May God bless you with rest after your hard work!
