Josiah First Night at Home



Josiah First Night at Home, originally uploaded by ProSam.

He was fine until we wanted to go to sleep. Man! They warned us about the sleepless nights but wow this was crazy. All he wanted to do was feed. If he wasn’t feeding we was crying. At one point around 5 am I woke up to both Josie and Josiah crying. I felt so helpless. I remembered something the nurse had said at the hospital. As long as Josiah is close to mommy he will want to nurse so I took him downstairs and as soon as I was going down the stairs he calmed down and he eventually fell asleep on my chest.

The Baby is a Comin’!… The Baby is a Comin’!…

Josie started pushing and I could see his hair. This is so exciting. Josie and thhe baby are doing great. Lots of pain but shels handing it amazingly well. The midwife is surprised, I’m not cuz Josie is a strong woman but also because we have an awesome God who is watching and looking after us.

Josie Getting Induced Today



Josie Getting Induced Today, originally uploaded by ProSam.

It’s almost 10am and we’ve been here since eight. So far no major contractions. They’ve given her some medicine to make her cervix expand. There is the posibility this baby will not be here today. I hope that is not the case.
