Friday at about noon I began having some cramping and decided to put Azariah down for his nap and take a nap myself. When I woke up at about 2:00pm I noticed that I was having some contractions periodically and decided to soak in a bath. I wasn't sure that I was going into labor, but remembering the speed of our first labor and delivery, decided to call Joshua anyways (he was at Disney and about an hour from home). At 6 we went for a walk and called our midwife to check in, although I had Joshua tell her I wasn't ready for her to come out to our house yet. At this time contractions were coming pretty frequently but seemed to be varying in intensity...I think perhaps I was in denial that our new baby would soon be here. From then on, I was pretty focused and continually deeper into the process. Our midwife arrived at 8:00pm, since she had about an hour commute, and found us in the hardest but final stages of labor. We moved from the bathroom to the floor in our bedroom and soon after, with just a few GOOD pushes, Evalyn departed her home in my womb and entered into the world.
We praise God for how smoothly the process went, and are thankful for all you who were upholding us in prayer.
