After 3 years of being on the market our Home in Kentucky has SOLD!
Just when we were ready to give up. We thought we were following the right path, we thought we had been led to sell our home and move to North Idaho, but was it all just a distraction?
Where we just dreaming? Chasing something that would never become reality?
Those were our thoughts and conversations the last year we were on the market. It seemed like every deal, every offer we’d get, something would always go wrong.
The final offer came and we’d decided that if it didn’t work out, if something happened and the deal just didn’t go through, that we would revisit our plans and prayerfully reconsider what we wanted to do moving forward.
But it Happened. It really SOLD! And not just sold but everything seemed to work out just perfectly.
“There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel – that will stand”. Proverbs 19:21
#7 Our beautiful Jedediah Issachar. The LORD has indeed blessed us again with a wonderful homebirth, a healthy baby, and a healthy momma.
After my last birth with Timothy, I felt I was weak. I guess I had taken for granted the success I had with the first two births. I had gotten older of course and the homestead had been in transition mode.
Our home was on the market and we’d sold all our farm animals. In doing this, chores were at a minimum. Mowing the grass and cleaning house was all that was left.
So, the moment I found out I was pregnant I knew things had to change. I started walking more and did an excessive number of daily squats. Mega doses of vitamin C, dates, pregnancy teas, gallons of water and just really tried to focus on being more active.
In February, we found out we were having another boy. We were blessed!
Then came June, I knew we had to be getting close, but I had no signs anything was happening soon.
June 21st, I was mowing the grass. I took a break to go potty when I lost my mucus plug. I went back out to finish the grass when I had my oldest daughter take over for me. I was starting to feel slight contractions. They weren’t painful, just tightening in the abdomen. This continued throughout the day, no pattern, just sporadic.
My husband went to bed around 8pm, and I followed shortly after. I was too nervous and excited to sleep. I could feel every little tightening.
It was 11:11pm when they started to strengthen.
Next 12:21am, Contraction.
1:06am, Contraction.
1:19am, Contraction.
1:26am, I got out of bed to move around.
1:39am, I started losing darker mucus.
1:47am, Contraction.
1:50am, I decided it was time to wake up my husband.
2:10am, I showered while having a few contractions.
2:50am, They were getting stronger.
3:03am, Another contraction.
3:20am – 4:30am I laid down to rest but continued to have a few contractions.
5:00am, They continued to get stronger.
5:10am – 5:50am, Same
5:50am, 6:05am, 6:10am, 6:38am, 6:48am, 7:15am, 8:28am, 9:22am, 9:29am, 10:00am, 10:07am, Same
10:17am, My water broke.
10:29am, I had another contraction and began to push.
Jedediah was born at 12:37pm!
Glory be to GOD!
My baby was so perfect, he nursed immediately while I delivered the placenta. My husband and oldest daughter took care of baby Jed while I showered and introduced him to the rest of his siblings. He is so loved!
We praise God for allowing us to have another blessed delivery. We praise God for a healthy baby and healthy momma!
