With grateful hearts and much thanksgiving, we announce the arrival of Ethan Francis.
Number eight (earthside) arrived August 20th at 5:31 in the morning.
Overall, this was an easy pregnancy, minimal sickness and I felt good throughout.
That is up until the last couple weeks. Given the arrival times of the last couple of babies, I fully expected to have this guy a bit earlier than he arrived, however, all is God's perfect timing.
I had been having contractions since the last week of July--but nothing ever progressed and time went on..and on..and on..
I will say I got a bit grumpy and anxious that no baby was coming. It literally felt like he was just going to stay inside for good. Irrational, I know. We passed the due date and still nothing. I ended up having to schedule some tests if he did not arrive by a certain time.
Well, again--in God's perfect time, I woke up sometime after 2am on Thursday, August 20th--an unseasonably cold August morning (it was in the 50's at that hour!)-- wondering if I was dreaming. I used the bathroom and went back to bed..or tried to at least. It was not a dream. The pain was real. BUT--I had been having contractions on and off for a couple weeks, so nothing to get excited about. I went to sit in the living room instead of laying back down. A couple trips to the bathroom and more contractions, and I decided to wake Mike up "just in case" around 3am. It has to be noted that he had very much been looking forward to a special workout at the gym that morning, so his plans were "ruined" in that regard. Contractions were about 3-5 minutes apart and I called the midwives around 3:30am. Mike got to setting up all the birth paraphenalia --
