Nothin' ...

A whole day past the day I thought she would come. Abby and Grace Anne both came exactly 3 weeks before their due date. It's not a huge deal. I feel good and have enjoyed being pregnant. Her due date is somewhere between the 11th and 17th of April so she has time. I think she is going to be bigger than her sisters. Selah was 7 lbs 2 oz, Abby was 6 lbs 13 oz,  and Grace Anne was 6 lbs 6 oz. (they kept getting smaller!) There has been a couple times when I thought she was on her way, contractions strong enough that I couldn't sleep. Then I prayed, Lord, I've got 3 little ones to take care of in the morning, if this isn't for real please help me to sleep soon...and I did! I think I just needed to be reminded that He is in control! That I can rest in His time. That He holds my future! That I am His child! That small prayer reminded me of all of those things and sleep came. It reminds me of Psalm 127. Thank you Father!

Names..................

So we have...
Selah Joy
Abigail Lynne (Abby) and
Grace Anne Elizabeth
(funny....each baby came smaller but we gave them longer and longer names!)
We can't quite make up our minds for the next princess.
We have been calling her Chloe` because we were sure that's what we were going to name her...and we may still....but I love the name Avynle`.....I've been worried that it sounds a bit too much like Abby. We may use it for her middle name....Chloe` Avynle`...........but oh, I think it would be such a beautifully unique first name.
So here's the deal....when calling out the back door for the kids to come in from playing.....how does this sound...Selah! Abby! Grace Anne! Chloe`!
or....Selah! Abby! Grace Anne! Avynle`!
Yikes! I need to pray about this too. Names are important. Lord give us wisdom. Thank you!

The 4 names on the list are...

Eden ~ Delightful
Avynle` ~ Spring Meadows
Bella ~ Beautiful (the girls' favorite)
Chloe` ~ Blooming

Until next time...
