Yesterday was one of the most amazing days of my life! I have been a mentor to a teenager since I had her in class when she was a 7th grader. This past August she became pregnant. I have been answering pregnancy questions for 9 months, praying all involved stayed healthy and safe. Saturday night she went into real labor (after 2 false alarms). We made it to the hospital and she was 6cm.
This teenager allowed me to be a part of the whole birth process! I have to say God's design of childbirth is the most amazing this to watch! I was unable to have my children without a C-section and their births were amazing, but watching from the other side was so amazing!
The whole time I was thinking about our baby girl, I know it is highly unlikely I will be able to be there when she is born and that makes me sad, but I know God has her already planned and chosen for us to parent and I have baby fever even more after watching baby Autumn be born yesterday. I am thankful God allowed me to be in this girls life and that I was able to experience this!
Paperwork update:
I have sent off for Malakai's birth certificate and have started gathering what we need. We meet with CCS on April 12th for our next informational meeting.
T-Shirt update:
THANK YOU to all who have purchased shirts already! I am so excited! We will be ordering the shirts next Monday so there is still time to pass along our address to your friends to order! Our goal is 100 shirts and we are at 30 or so!
Love you all and we are blessed to have you in our lives!
