My Birth Experience

Surprise ! Canaan is on the way at 34 weeks of pregnancy 0_o.  The last two weeks leading up to birth, were challenging. My body was making drastic changes and I begin to swell up like a marshmallow. Heat and swollen feet do not go well together. Every day I felt like I was getting an inch bigger. Walking became a nagging chore and there wasn't enough ice I could put on my body to manage the swelling.  We decided to go to Maimonides hospital for a tour. I needed the assurance that it's legit. We had a great experience.  That same evening we went for dinner and then home to rest. At about 2am in the morning, I had one of my routine bathroom runs. As I walked back to the bed, to my surprise my water broke. Whaaaaaat! I jumped so quickly out of the bed and ran to the bath room. Would you believe my 1st thought was, no I just washed the sheets 0_o. Immediately I called Todd and he jerked out of his deep sleep. I yelled my water broke and he said: "Are you sure?" Yes, I sa

New Beginnings (after my miscarriage)

It's been a while since I wrote a blog. The last post was by far one of the most emotional experiences we have ever faced. But as most of you know a lot has changed since then.  I must admit after the miscarriage I was told to take it easy and wait for 3 months until my body heals. It seemed as though I bounced right back and I felt good to go right away. Ministry kept me very busy, we went on a vacation, caught up with friends and TTC (tried to conceive).  To our surprised exactly at 3 months we were pregnant again. It was exciting yet frightening at the same time. I chose to trust God and started my new beginning .   There was one specific incidence at about 7 weeks of pregnancy. Leading up to it, I had all the typical symptoms of a preggo. Nausea, soreness, being tired and many bathroom runs. Right around thanksgiving it seemed as though the symptoms were gone. All of my alerts went of and I begin to panic. I thought to myself, no not again, I can't have another miscarriage.
