Thank you for your emails, tweets, calls, love and prayers. Our fifth girl arrived yesterday afternoon (nine days “late”) to greet her sisters and two brothers after a record (for me) labor of only 5 or 6 hours. She was born sunny side-up which made for the hardest labor I’ve ever had as well, and she weighed in at 9lb 10oz. We praise the Lord for our first successful home birth! Other than Ruby, we keep our children’s names private over the net. You can call her “most blessed sweetheart” (smile).

Praising God for your blessed sweetheart! So glad to hear that you were able to have a homebirth…and a quick one at that. Blessings to you all!
Congratulations! Praise be to God for your newest little girl. May you all be able to relax and enjoy this wonderful blessing! 🙂
Oh! She’s so beautiful! What a precious blessing… Enjoy your babymoon with her and your wonderful family. God is so good! I am rejoicing with you!
Love,
Rebecca
I know how you feel about comments, so I’ll make this one short:
PRAISE GOD!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!
(Got my letter on yesterday–didn’t know that raccoons ate ducks!!)
Yeah Keri!
Email me or call me to let me know when I can come and see you. What baby rule do you follow? Wait a week before non-family can meet the baby, OR wait five minutes? I am so happy for you!
Much love, Willma

Congratulations on your beautiful baby daughter!
What a beauty! Congratulations. So glad she finally arrived. I don’t envy the sunny side up delivery, but am glad labor was over and done with quickly once it started!
Hope you are recovering well.
Much love,
Stacy
