Summary

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the full story of bringing our baby into the world. The prayers, the unexpected moments, the heightened emotions of both myself and Jordan, and the undeniable presence of God through it all. After everything it took to get here… infertility, loss, waiting, and surrender… this birth wasn’t just a moment in our lives, it was a testimony of God’s goodness, of His perfect timing. Whether you’re a mama, believing for your own miracle, or just need a reminder that God is faithful in every season, this episode is for you. The final days leading up to labor What I was feeling physically, emotionally, and spiritually How labor actually unfolded (the real, raw version) Unexpected moments and things I didn’t plan for Where I saw God show up in the middle of it all My husband’s role and perspective during the birth The moment we finally met our baby What this experience taught me about surrender and trust Isaiah 66:9 – “Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” Let’s Connect!
