It has almost been one month since my baby girl was born and I can still hardly believe my little family has grown to 5!
Since having my baby girl at home (it’s been 2 weeks now!), we have done a lot of relaxing and just enjoying each other.. The boys are completely obsessed with her and Eli asks to hold her all the time!
I absolutely love all 3 of my children and can’t believe that the Lord has blessed me so greatly!
My family of 5 thank you again, so much more than we can express, for all of your thoughts and prayers..! There are, of course, still possibilities of learning and/or developmental delays in the future but we will cross that bridge and trust God again if we get there.
I am so thankful that the Lord has made it so easy for me to trust His work in all that has happened.. I’ve heard countless times about mothers that have a traumatic experience during delivery/birth and it continues to affect them every day. I don’t feel that way at all, even though Natalie and I came so close to dying.
I am still not sure why He let all of that happen but I truly believe in my heart that He had everything planned and we are so very lucky to have such a wonderful God looking out for us!
When thinking back on that day, almost one whole month ago, I still remember all of the terrifying details but I see God’s hand at work in all that happened. It is so easy sometimes to forget that He is always watching out for us..
But He is.. Every single day.
And I am eternally thankful! 
*And yes, I will be changing the name of my blog sometime soon (when I get around to it) to And Then There Were 5… to add our newest miracle addition! Keep your eyes out for more details, coming soon..*

CongrTulations again! What a lovely family and so precious that you give the thanks to God for His protection! I am so happy for you all!
She is beautiful! Praying for continued health!
She is a beautiful little girl:)
Honestly, it’s going to hit you and stay with you what happened to you both and it will haunt you. I am not trying to be a downer, I am being honest. Once the euphoria over having a beautiful little one in your arms passes, you will realize that something in you has been changed by this experience. I ‘only’ experienced an unnecessary c-section and I think about it. A lot. I was fine with it the day after, the only time the OB and midwife asked about my unnatural birth, but no one ever thought to ask me about it later. Or cared to know how it affected me.
What a sweetheart! I do have to say I agree with Christine, but for me it made me a stronger person. Maybe it was because everything that happened was out of control for. I had a placental abruption and my son and I almost died. He was in the NICU for almost 4 weeks and we didn’t get to hold him for almost a week. When we started thinking about another I was so scared. I couldn’t go through it again. And it changed me. I did lots of homework and had an amazing unmedicated VBAC. I feel lucky things happened the way the did with my 2nd birth, but know that I would never have taken control of my care and my birth without the experience I had with my oldest.
Congratulations! She is beautiful
