0:00.0	Wentsome Joy Ray, our precious fifth baby was born at home on Christmas Day.
0:06.2	This is her birth story.
0:13.0	You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 271.
0:18.3	Much of our daily lives can be divided into two categories. Work and play. Simply put, that's where our life and our legacy takes place. This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well, which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life. Listen in. Before I share Winnie's birth story, I just want to let you know you can see some pictures of it over on my blog.
0:46.4	And I just want to give you the disclaimer.
0:48.3	I don't really hold back when I'm sharing my birth stories.
0:51.0	So just you have been warned.
0:54.0	Okay, let's start at the beginning.
0:56.0	At the end of 2023, Will and I were prayerfully considering a new fifth baby. And we had two
1:03.2	girls, two boys, so it felt very complete, but we weren't sure. We were praying about it.
1:06.9	We were really just, we weren't sure. And after several months of prayer, we just kind of came to the

1:17.5	so we kind of put it in the Lord's hands for six months. And after several months, nothing happening,
1:23.0	we decided, okay, well, let's just not have the baby in December because my birthday's in December,
1:28.6	Beaufort's birthdays in December, Jesus's birthday's in December. You know, it's December. It's crazy.
1:35.8	And lo and behold, I took a pregnancy test and I was due Christmas Eve. So the Lord has a sense of
1:42.5	humor. We laughed at the irony. But, you know,
1:45.6	this has been a theme for us. Like since baby number one, I remember when I was pregnant with Millie,
1:50.4	I said, as long as I don't have the baby in May or June, I'll be fine because that was the height
1:55.1	of wedding season. Her due date was May 27th. And the Lord is so good. I just want to encourage anybody listening who
2:03.6	feels like the timing maybe wasn't your choice. God has been so good in giving us babies
2:09.7	exactly when they were born. And he knows what is best. And so his timing is always better
