Our First offical home school Field Trip

None too soon, we'll be meeting this little one that is already so deeply loved.


Charis and Selah talk of her like they know her. Raegan can already say her name. Jet and I talk, as we watched our little girl roll around in my tummy, that we are having a hard time waiting to hold this little one. to see her face. to know her personality.

Though, for now, I only prepare for tomorrow: OUR TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL!

...because the two oldest girls are planning on being a part of the delivery!!

When Raegan was born, Charis and Selah were as (if not more) interested in the blood as they were their newborn sister. It was hysterical. :) Apparently I have future medical personnel on my hands.

And being that they've repeatedly watched dvds of both vaginal deliveries and C-sections without flinching, we took them seriously when they said they wanted to be in the delivery room this time. And thankfully, so did my hospital midwife, Donna.

She even mentioned how she thought it would be such a powerful and intimate memory for the girls, being that they would always have their sister-relationships. even after we, as her parents, were gone. Agreed! ;)

So Donna gave me the name and number of the woman who could make it happen. And the rest is history. Well, almost.

Tomorrow! we're taking a little "field trip" to the hospital in preparation for Charis and Selah to be with me when Baby Girl is born.
