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.
