Well, the baby was born!!! Yay!!! Here's the story. "It" is a girl. She was 49 cm =19 in. and 3.5 kilos = 7 lbs. 12 oz. Her name is Nala Denae. She was born in our home Friday night at 10:53 pm. And she's cute as a button!
The last pregnancy picture as we figure out that labor was beginning. I'm usually pretty fast so we started the preparations right away. The midwife got here just 38 minutes before Nala was born! Whew!!!
There was just time to get Kilaine out of bed to see the baby being born. Then Pilar got Liam up to meet the new baby. I had a water birth at home. Robin almost missed it because he was getting some more hot water from the neighbors, our little tank just didn't give us enough. I think I was only in the water about 2-3 minutes before she came out. It was super fast!
Here, the midwife is doing the baby checkup about an hour or 2 after she was born. 
Betty and Pilar came to help out during the birth with the kids and taking pictures and things. It was a blessing to have them here. Thank you, girls.
Kilaine just couldn't sleep afterwards, so we let her stay up and be with the baby for a little bit. She's in love. She is such a help to me. It was really sweet. When I put her to bed in the end, she started crying as she said, "I'm just so happy..." And earlier, Liam had told me real slow, "I'm so happy to have a baby girl."
Her first bed for the 1st day or so. =)
And there she is!!!!!
We are very happy and very blessed. Thank you all for your prayers and love. Jesus is so good to us.

Yeah! I think it's so great you found a midwife that you felt comfortable with and were able to have a beautiful home/water birth for Nala. Congrats and happy snuggling and bonding with your new baby!

Oh my goodness. When I read what Kilaine said and that she cried, I cried!!! Tim and I go back and forth between having another one or not. I said if I read this every day, we definitely will!
I love you Tracy and your willingness to add to God's kingdom! We love you and are very blessed to see those pics!
