Baby #2:
Well, I am officially a "girl mom" now, and while it is a bit terrifying to think of dealing with the hormone swings and emotions that are ahead, I am more excited to be able to influence the next generation of women...to raise up a woman who knows what it means to fear the Lord, that has a confidence in her beautiful design as a woman, and is encouraged to excel in kindness and grace. ...and with the Lord's help, a woman of God who is willing to submit to the Lord and cultivate the apostolic grace over her life. Everything went well with Junia's birth. It was a very "textbook" labor and birth. Things progressed very normally and naturally. The doctor stripped my membranes on Friday...I lost my mucus plug on Monday...started feeling contractions Tuesday evening...took a hot shower and went to bed...woke up on and off with contractions...then at 1am decided to start timing (pretty regular every 5-6 minutes)... my husband got off work to take me to the hospita
