A bit about us, and our beautiful girls!!

These are my 2 beautiful little girls. They are such a joy, and truely from the Lord. Mckenzie is the short one (he he he) ans Grace is our big girl. They are the beginning of " Our Growing Tree". Jordan and I will be celebrating out 7th weding anniversary this comming October 12th, and we do plan to, and look forward to haveing many more children. They truely have chaged our lives...for the very best. But hey, we are really working on practicing at the moment....he he he!

To start with, we always say that Gracie softened daddy's heart. A year after she was born, he accepted the our Lord, Jesus Christ, into his heart, as his Lord and Savior, and a few months later, (July 2007) he was baptised, in our church. Life has not been the same since. It is such a refreshing and wonderful thing to be on the same page, and to submit to your husband, and know who he is "workin' " for. he is such a wonderful blessing to me, and makes the cups of my children and myself run over with blessings. And he is growing so much in his walk with the Lord. He so strives to be a Godly father, and husband. i respect this man sooooooo much, can you tell =).

Our first daughter Gracie, was the "maybe baby"...i couldnt tell with the pee stick if i was REALLY prego. the other line was barely there. and we had just started trying to get pregnant. we were so happy. we had been married at the time for about 4 1/2 years.

On a plane ride to visit Jordan's family in Georgia, i met a woman, who was pregnant with her 2nd, and started telling me about her first delivery....in a birthing center, naturally. Of course this was in another state, so i didnt get that option when i started looking. So i simply decided to start looking for a midwife in the area, and any options that i DID have to help along what i wanted in "natural birthing". well i went into labor on february 2nd, 2006. at about 4 in the morning my water broke...it was our first, and she was posterior...so, instead of doing what we knew we should have done, stay home for a while, we headed off for the hospital, i knew that wasn't what i wanted, so my contractions lessened, and by the time we got there, they were nill. grrrrr! we were so eager, and impatient, that i took the pitocin, and the epidural, everything that i didn't want. she was still born beautifully into our arms on the 3rd...37 hours later. but for our next child, my next birthing experience i wanted something else....so i went looking.

A huge chunk of this blog, i am sure, is going to talk a ton about natural birthing, and i will be posting both of my birth stories....b/c after i went on that search, i found exactly what i wanted for myself, my baby, and my family in a birthing experience. it changed my life, my relationships with everyone...Jordan, Gracie, my family, friends, and mostly my father....my heavenly one, that is. for more info on those births i am going to be posting that as a separate blog. so go look for them.
