House Hunters

Four months of waiting have finally culminated in this event. The Vinsons home is now under contract so House Hunters has finally made their way to Charleston. Saturday was a fun yet long day. It was quite an interesting experience to be on the other side of the camera. I just have to say that I love God's sense of humor and his impeccable timing and gifts. I know how TV can be sometimes so I tried not to say anything negative so that they don't edit anything in the wrong context.

I'm quite fond of Tina and Blaine. I love hearing their story and of God's miraclous healing of Tina. It was really a gift to meet them. I'm so excited that Tina will be moving to this side of 526. I hope that we can become better friends b/c I feel like I could learn so much from her. This has been a stressful time for them and they openly admitted that they just kept getting out in front of God. Twice, they asked me to pull the house off the market, but then we got another showing so they waited. Shortly after I got back from Africa, we received 3 offers! It couldn't be a more stressful time for them, because now they have to find a new place to live before the end of the year. Thankfully, God worked that out too.

Not sure when the show will air because they still have one more day of filming but we won't do that until after the new year when they get settled into their home. So stay tuned for the HGTV air date. What an awesome opportunity! Thanks God for his continued favor.

Labor Part 2--Lana's Birth Story

After 36 hours of early labor and the nesting done, we laid down for another nap around 4pm. I woke up earlier than Chris and then finally woke him up around 6:30pm because Dr. Yoon was coming back by to check on me. She did some more acupuncture and as she was leaving, my water broke around 7-7:30pm. We called Michelle, our midwife, back and she was on her way over. Making it through each contraction was priority #1 as the intensity rose significantly after the water broke. Lana had engaged down and it was so painful to lay down so I paced the house and as each contraction came, new coping skills had to be developed so we tried a lot of things. I sat on the exercise ball, I leaned on it on top of the bed, I got in the shower many times and let the hot water fall on my lower back, and I leaned on Chris. I really enjoyed getting in the shower. My friend, Andy arrived around 8pm to bring me an oreo milkshake which I was not in the mood for any longer (although it would come in ha...

My brother teaches me something

I decided to write my brother a letter last week. While I sat down to write the letter, it dawned on me that there were some words he needed to hear. Chris reminded me that I might be the only person in the world that understands him because of experiencing the same childhood. First, I told him I was proud of him for working hard to stay out of trouble and keep a job. These are words that we both long to hear from our parents. Our desire to hear these words from them pushed us to act in two very different ways. Second, I told him that I admired him. That might sound strange intiailly but the last time that I saw him was at dinner at my parent's house. Before he left, he leaned down to give a hug to my father who was laying in the recliner. Dad didn't reciprocate, but I can't imagine how much courage and forgiveness had gone through Thomas's heart to be able to do that. I'm shamed to admit that I can only remember hugging my dad 2 times in my adult life. ...

The Home Birth of Norah Hope

41 weeks 1 day pregnant--The time had come finally and thank the Lord because this ole body was ready. I had an appointment with my midwife, Michelle Ray on Monday, April 29th at 10am. Last week, the baby's hand (and possibly the cord) was above her head so Michelle used the ultrasound to check her out. Praise the Lord! Her hand was not above her head. They were at her mouth and pretty sure she was sucking one of her thumbs and/or fingers. I kinda melted... Knowing there was no obstruction, after dinner on Monday, I pulled out the moxibustion sticks from the last birth and lit them up and placed them on the induction pressure points . After all, I had been having crazy contractions for over 2 weeks. The kids surrounded me with indelible curiosity about the moxibustion. Immediately, the baby began moving a lot and contractions started. I continued pressing the pressure points through out the evening before bed and turned in early around 930pm. I woke up at 3am because of...
