Noah Finds Land on July 2nd





Noah finally left the ark at 9:25 am July 2nd weighing in at 6 lbs 4 oz, 17 1/2" long (little shortie, but has a long torso). 4 weeks early. July 1st at 2:45 am Jessa's water broke with no for warning of any kind of labor. At the hospital they waited 12 hours to allow the contractions to begin on their own. A few little contractions occurred but didn't make any difference. At 2 pm they induced labor. Off and running she began having HUGE contractions. 12 hours of contractions "on steroids" (as Jessa puts it), they said she could begin to push so I called Jody and the girls back to the hospital thinking it would be any time now. Though Noah had decided the water needed to go, he wasn't sure he wanted to see land (smile). He kept turning himself every which way and with every two pushes down he receded back a push. Then he got stuck behind Jessa's pelvic bone. That little stinker was afraid of the outside world. Jessa pushed for 7 hours through some horrendous pain. Tears were flowing down my face as I watched my daughter, exhausted, push through with no breaks in between contractions (this was even WITH an epidural)a side effect of pittison. She was on the border of needing a c-section but she was determined to not come this far only to have to do have that. The last option was forceps to turn him and pull him out. If that didn't work within 2 minutes they would have to do a c-section. Prayers were going up everywhere as we even stopped right there and had prayer. PTL he just slid right out once they turned him right and moved him away from her pelvic bone. The NICU team was waiting to receive him, as is common procedure for assisted deliveries. They moved quickly through his examine and PTL said he was healthy and could stay with mom and dad and put him on mom bare chest and he right away warmed up. He is the cutest little guy with lots of black hair and dark eyes (not sure yet if they're dark blue, or brown). Such a perfect miracle. Mom tore internally and externally which require lots of stitches. My daughter, Jessa is a CHAMPION marathon runner. I am so proud of her. She is so sore she can't hardly hold her son but she is right there doing all she can. She can't hardly sit or find a comfortable position but she continues to find a way to nurse. Levi is right there figuring out how to take care of his son with one hand. It's great to watch him rise to the challenge and conquer!

God is so good. I have felt like July 1st was just 4 days long as they didn't get to come home until July 4th. Jessa and Levi's celebration was better then any 4th of July celebration (it's just their celebration was in their hearts, as our bodies are exhausted). God has changed my life all over again as I now have a GRANDSON and a GRANDDAUGHTER.

SOOOOO happy for your new little life. That first picture is BEAUTIFUL! He looks like he's smiling in his sleep. :-)
I had a lot of stitches with Becki--she was big and fat and delivered way too quick and I tore pretty bad. I remember thinking I would probably NEVER again in my whole life be able to just go to a chair and sit down without pain! But on day 7 or 8 I was healed! Praise God!
So happy for you guys. And look what God has done!--He's made a way for you to be at IYC after all. Are we surprised? I'm not. :-)

Also said this model of earphone is developing, hoped that can not use the ear to put can display the effect. Has a look at this model of earphone's parameter first. Regarding an ordinary musical public Diamond Headphones, he has possibly had woods sea Sayre, has had SONY, the iron triangle, but he has Shure not necessarily Monster Beats Studio.

Shure this brand as if is exists for the genuine fan, therefore it links the cheapest product also to sell to the nearly thousand Yuan, its high-end's image has struck root in the hearts of the people. Promoted after last year Monster Headphones won the high praise greatly, Shure developed the brand-new market with a same quality but more materially beneficial price, this year promotes brand-new SE102 was this kind of model of product, as soon as now lets us come to see this Shure family young bloods real to accommodate.

The SE102 packing is more direct-viewing for person's feeling, middle Beats By Dr Dre out the part to be possible to see the partial details, the SE102 fitting is laid aside in earphone's back Monster Headphone.
