Elizabeth Lily

Not much more happening here, my parents are visiting and helping out with the kids. I am getting to sleep in which is totally spoiling me. Elizabeth is growing like crazy, she gained 6 oz last week which means she is already bigger than her sister was at this age. I got so many cute gifts from family members. Her aunt Kayleen made her these super cute onsies, can't wait till she fits them. The kids still love her and she is sleeping pretty well. She does have this horrendous cry that is so loud. I hope she outgrows that soon. But The Lord is good and we are doing really well.

Guess who decided to grace us with her presence

Wow the Lord is good. After much waiting (8 days) Elizbeth Lily Netzley finally decided to grace us with her presence. I must say that the Lord has his own timing and it is perfect according to his will. My mother-in-law came out to help for the birth and was scheduled to leave the 21st, baby girl was born at 10pm on the night of the 20th. We decided to have a home birth with this baby and The Lord allowed us to have one. It was very intense but God gave me strength. Active labor was only 4 hours and my midwife arrived just in time to deliver the baby. We didn't even have time to fill up the tub. 
     The kids love her and keep asking to hold her. Even Naomi just looks at her and laughs, which is great because I thought she would be super jealous. I just pray it continues this way. My mom and dad will be coming out on Monday to help with the kids and see the baby which will be nice because I am on my own until then. We met this super nice family at church who has been such a blessing. They watched the kids while I had Elizabeth and then came over the next day just to hang out and distract my kiddos while I rested and my midwife checked on me and baby. We are doing well and just trying to get settled Into a routine. Prayers for rest and adjustment would be great.

Waiting not so patiently

Well we are 39 weeks pregnant now. And my midwife is back from vacation so we can get this show on the road any day now. I am not doing much these days except trying to sleep, eat and get the house ready. I am not sure if most of you know but I am planning on having a home birth, Lord willing, and that is why the tub is there. I am really excited to be able to stay at home and not have to travel to the hospital. With the last three kids I have been at least 7 days late so I am not expecting an early delivery but I can be hopeful I guess. My mother in law will be here the 9th so I guess it would be good to wait until then. Birth tub
