For the fourth time, Jenn is days away from delivering a baby. Again, we’re using a midwife. Again, we’re hoping and praying for a safe delivery, a healthy child and a healthy mom.
Jenn’s last two labors were short. Each time less than two hours from the start, a new little baby was crying her way through her new life. During Jenn’s checkup at the midwife today they told her it could be any day, so from here on out we’re staying close to home. With the last two a long drive could have led to an in-car delivery. I’d prefer to avoid being listed at the attending physician in addition to the father on this child’s birth certificate, so we’ll try to keep life within a 20 minute drive.
Finally we’ve landed on both boy and girls names. We don’t know much about this baby, but we know boy or girl this kid will start life with a great name.
Any prayers you can offer are greatly appreciated. Our kids are excited, but this will be a big shift for them. Arden especially will experience some challenges as the youngest, never before being asked to trade a portion of her parents attention in exchange for a new sibling.
