Widlene Delivered



Widlene arrived at the Maternity Center around 11pm Monday.  She labored through the night. Heather and I handled labor watch for most of the night. Beth joined us around 4 because she couldn't sleep. Labor watch involved much puking last night. It was a little bit nutty.

The bravest moment of the entire night came around 3:45 am when a rat entered the house (and labor room) and we did not completely lose all our marbles.  Soldiers.  That's what we are.

Oh, and Widlene was pretty brave pushing out a baby too.  ;)

Widlene's daughter weighs six and a half pounds and was born at 6:45 am.

The sweet little baby girl with Widlene's eyes struggled a little bit to get breathing on her own, but is now doing well. Widlene hasn't yet chosen a name for her daughter.

You soldier girls need some kind of name. And t-shirts (or tank tops). I'll sell them on my blog.

Congratulations, Widlene!! These babies are popping out like nuts. And so healthy and safe! Praise Jesus!!

Bravo Widlene!

Thought you might enjoy this photo essay birth story from Nepal, a country with one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Thought it might be interesting to see the story of another young (19 yrs) woman bringing a baby into the world!

Why are there always photos of all the others but you are never in the photos? Heather shows photos of herself. Are you always taking the photos or what gives sista?

One down, one to go!!!!! GOD straight up answered the prayer about Esther's baby being breeched, I prayed and then 1/2 hour later while checking FB - it read that Esther's baby was not breech anymore. Amazing!!! So happy for Widlene! Praise be to our GOD and LORD Jesus
