Shepherd
loves you!
I can’t help but think of what I posted when Meredith was a few months old and how Shepherd is so similar to Steven and Meredith at this age! I don’t have a picture like this of Lydia at 2-3 months sitting up (the only ones are of her riding, nursing, crying, or [...]
Hands Full, Heart Overflowing
We’ve been home for a week now together as a family, and we are really enjoying Shepherd. I haven’t been online in several days (which is why you’re only seeing my auto-posted theological long essays rolling out!); nonetheless it has been really great for me to rest, spend time with God, and just focus [...]
Home
My sister Jennifer took this picture a few days ago of our kids at my mom’s house. They have been with them for the last nine days and are coming home tomorrow. To say that Eric and I miss them is a huge understatement. We are so excited for tomorrow to come [...]
Welcome Shepherd
We have our early memories of Shepherd’s arrival now in a video slideshow! You can watch by clicking the slideshow image below, which will take you over to YouTube where the movie is located.

Shepherd!
O, Praise the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together! Our baby Shepherd is finally here!
Yes, it’s me in person with an update! Emily and her husband think I’m a computer addict for some reason and said they wanted to see the photos of me in the birthing pool with my [...]
Great Answer
I begged and pleaded with God this morning. In my sighs and tears I meditated on the great promises and prayers of the saints in His Word, and I do believe He has answered my prayer with a “yes.”
I sent out a huge email a little while ago to many people I [...]
Here for a Visit, Here for a Birth?
My mom and sister (with husband and my nephew) came down today to help us for the rest of the week, and secretly I know they are doing their own share of begging God that He would bring Shepherd here quickly! Can you believe it? He still isn’t here! I share the [...]
Water Birth
The kids were watching home water births on You Tube with me this morning, and I said as we started this one, “Oh, I love this song!” We kept watching, and I saw the dad’s Carolina hat and thought, “Oh, that’s neat… probably a birth somewhere near here…” then I noticed the [...]
Pregnancy Photo-op: 2 mos. later
I posted some pictures exactly two months ago at 27 weeks of baby Shepherd and me. Well, here we are now at 35 weeks - only 2-5 more to go! What do you think? Will we make it?!
I’ve had some birth guessing games before on my blog, and this time I want [...]
Pregnant Tummy Pictures
Well, here is baby Shepherd hanging out at 27 weeks. Sorry for the not so glamorous pictures and the bad hair. There were a few with me smiling like a cheese ball, but they were blurry. Everyone tells me that he looks very high; my prediction is that he is already [...]
