Victoria was born Sept 22, 2003. she is 11mo. and was also born unassisted into Mommies hands... or well on the bed... bouncing... :)... or so it goes.

today...
I am looking quite pregnant. I didn't show til late with this baby. It has been said that the BIL (my sisters husband who always knows the gender) thinks it is a boy....... I am not sure yet. I will give a guess after 20 weeks when my hormone spots give away what gender it is! I have no idea what names to pick for this baby. My DH is working so hard on my sis's house that we havn't had time to sit and chat about it. I am getting diaper fabric orderd though and have been sewing the quilt fabric that I bought when Samuel was a baby! LOL.... i bought enough killington flannel to finish the back. they will be so pretty. made from the same flannel prints but one will be made of triangles the other color blocks! The plan is to purchase another full size bed as to be sure no one is crowded. then that shoud do us for this baby and another... if the Lord is to bless us with a 5th babe!
nothing really new.... hope to have a picture soon... Will told an herblist friend... "what do I do... my wife has this belly and it looks like a beer belly.... is there anything I should do for her? She said... it is called birth control Will! LOL......... I mean HELLO what kind of answer did he expect! hehehe... what a nut...

urgh... sick today. 22-23 weeks...
YUCK...i feel very trashy.. everyone but will is sick here... hoping to whoop this in a few days.... still in my PJ's...
anyway.... this baby is KICKING like crazy... i think he is transverse... and my birthmark wow.... it appears to have fadded today... humm/.... so maybe it is a GIRL?! not a BOY?! well that would be funny!
If i had to guess by how i feel and LOOK i would say GIRL. i am so big like when i had victoria. my pants hardly fit... like the ones i wore to TERM with the boys... I find that very strange! and much like victoria ! hum....welll i guess we just won't know... until the baby is really here what we are having... still no ideas for names.
not that i have had time to THINK of any.... because we have been so busy... and now we are coming on Christmas and it will be even busier....
next weekend is Denise's workshop... very excited about that!
well gotta run!

denise's workshop and the *picture* of myself
oh MY you have to love those BIG HUGE bathroom mirrors in hotels... hehe... i got up in the middle of the night to take a child potty and saw my BIG BOY belly! LOL... just HANGING so low... hehe... I am just now out of second tri... i love second tri so i am sorry to see it go... the birth mark also came back... and a boys name the Lord gave me is James Jeremiah Moses... or course subject to change! :o) still not sure if he will be James/ Jay or Jeremiah/Jer..... so i am suspecting a boy at this moment in time... had i looked at my hanging tummy before the last post i'd have never even considered it a girl... LOL... but there still is a 50% chance I will be fooled once again. I am not about to go down that road again! so... just informing you all of the apperance!
just a short update... need to go check on my kids...
night night!

this is the first time it has happened THIS way! usually i have HOURS and hours of contractions...
this time i woke to a DRENCED BED!!!! OH MY!!!! WITHOUT a mattress pad...
sent DH back to bed. he was exhausted. contactions are spartic. some right on top of each other... others not so... pain is bearable in the stomach but the low back pain is MISERABLE... what is that God has to SHOW me literally these things... LOL... I don't wanna feel them... just FIX them! hehe where is the PINK KIT?!!!!?????? (wink)
but as i sat there on the potty i cried... LOL.... not today!!!!
yesterday..... i went and bought a cute baby outfit that is 5-7 pounds... i was going to take it back sunday! LOL to small i thought... well GOD must have bigger plans eh?! doesn't he always?! throwing in the wash with the next load!
i am listening to you are a child of Mine... by Mark shultz....
I’ve been hearing voices
Telling me that I could
Never be what I wanna be
They’re binding me with lies
Haunting me at night
And saying there’s nothing to believe
Somewhere in the quietness
When I’m overcome with loneliness
I hear You call my name
And like a father You are near
And as I listen I can hear You say
chorus:
You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life
No matter where you go
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ
You are a child of Mine
And so I listen as You tell me who I am
And who it is I’m gonna be
And I hang on every word
Knowing I have heard
I am Yours and I am free
But when I am alone at night
That is when I hear the lie
You’ll never be enough
And though I’m giving into fear
If I listen I can hear You say
chorus
I am calling…
I am calling…
I am calling…
chorus (2x)
all for now...................

she's here!!! Bethany
Born on January 8, 2005
her birth story is below!
I awoke to a GUSH and a sopping bed... about 12 am....and trying to figure out WHY the water was not stopping and why it was still pouring out of me... i am sure i have never had that much water!!! and it continued to gush for the next few hours.
we had only been in bed for about 1 hour... i went shopping on friday... but just before we left had some lose stools and thought... humm... prelabor??? oh well could be days yet! prelabor is long for me..... but i was STILL in complete shock and began to cry...
Will said why are you crying... I said because we are going to have a baby tonight and I am not ready... he tried to comment and I just said oh hon. you will never understand.
for those of you who don't remember or just don't know. I didn't think i found out i was pregnant until i was 8 weeks. turns out it was more like 12. so i lost 3 mo. and will has been working outside of the home about 15 hours a day. and needs to be for about 3 more weeks. so those things contributed to how i was feeling.
still i had hardly any contractions. i came down to email the list. a was up and called! :o) that was a fun chat! and i was heading up to pray about a nest and rest. I laid down for a bit but then felt like contractions were really picking up and we didn't have anything clean. so i went and woke will up (2:30 am) for company and we washed some clothes and prayed and chatted for a bit.
it became way more intense. and he just watched. possibly bored out of his mind! LOL... i always feel sorry for him ... but we were chatting and making jokes it was a fun time!
around 3:30 I could feel her coming down and sliding back up. I also felt like the enemy was wanting to take my baby. so i was talking to God about that. And telling the enemy that he was NOT going to have her! I was also commenting about just wanting to lay down but was fighting it...cause it hadn't been that long.. . yet i just needed to lay down... but i wanted it to be over...
so after about 1 hour and 40 min. i finally laid down. on my back.. then all of a sudden, i had to get back up. I had kind of an *insane* moment where it was all i could do not to just RUN around the house screaming. i felt nothing in my body that moment.. but I *THINK* that Bethany did a side twist... to unwind the cord a bit. (at the time i had no idea.. i just kept telling will she was stuck... i didn't know what on... and couldn't figure what was going on)
then she came right down about 20-30 min later she was born. with the cord half around her body once.
I was in a squart/knee.... postion and had will catch her as i was also on a blanket on the hard wood floor.. so she couldn't *bounce* on the bed as she flopped out like victoria did... LOL... He saw her face. but says He didn't noticed her lip until I saw it... later...
anyway. i saw her legs first from a peak under the leg veiw as i was turning around... look a girl i exclaimed.... then i saw her lip.... and i cried... oh my... her lip.... and my heart just broke for her... i was nervous about feeding her... what we would do next...
once she was breathing good we got the placenta out , will called everyone and looked on the internet about her cleft palate and lip to see if we could just nurse her. i was already trying he was just reading about it.
God was really with us. Though then I could see why the enemy would try and convience me to let him *take her*... for some reason God's glory is to be shown about her. and I want to be SURE that I do what God does so his glory DOES shine! AMEN!
Bethany is a beauty!! We love her dearly just the way she is! *I love you my stinky face* is the book we have been reading over and over... and a few others that were much like this... a mother loving her child not matter WHAT! even if he was a stinky scunk. so i can see how even the children were being prepared for her sweet face. :*O).... how awesome is God anyway?!
With love
Naomi
