On the Hunt

So we are on our newest adventure which is finding the perfect place to bring Rosie into the world. Now I have been asking God to just tell me where I need to go...I know He already knows the time and the place, he has known since before time began according to Psalm 139.

We visited 2 hospitals, I am in love with one, and on Thursday we will be visiting a birthing center. I was going to visit one more hospital but I am very satisfied with one in Haifa if the birthing center doesn't work out.

Unfortunately, we are still waiting on the proper paperwork from Josh's team to process insurance paperwork. What this means is that we have been paying out of pocket for all pregnancy appointments and will have to pay for her birth out of pocket as well if this is not taken care of. I had a little break down the other day about it and just cried...Josh told the management so they talked to me today about it, I guess we will see where we get this week with it all. Had we won tonight it would have been easier to ask for things...but losing 2 games in a row, no one wants to talk or do much for you. I understand basketball is a business here, but my family is not a business, its a family.

So once the Lord sees us through these frustrations I think things will run a little smoother.

With this all being said, I will be starting a new blog. The blog will be narrated by Roselyn. The focus will be first time parent experiences, stories and educational tips. I am still thinking of a name...I am hoping to start it up very soon.

Well, this is me signing off for the night...time to get some rest and take care of my hubby who was beat up pretty bad tonight in the game! Good night!

Dare to wonder....

It is dangerous to wonder....it is even more dangerous to share what you wonder, and why you wonder what you do, but here is to the daring!!!! Josh and I were sitting here...just staring at our little darling as she drifted off to sleep and we began to wonder.... Have you ever watched a baby...especially a newborn when they are awake? You will see them looking above you and behind you with great focus and alertness. I always wonder...what are they looking at? Sometimes they coo and smile at whatever it is so you can't help but wonder, what do they see? What about when they sleep? Do you ever notice how they smile so much as they sleep? What do they dream about? Roselyn laughs in her sleep and it is the sweetest thing! What is she laughing at? I have heard it been said more than once that babies can see angels. The Bible indicates that God reveals things to them; "At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things fro...

Moment of Reflection

Frustration to the up-most: What we have when we cannot control things in life. When I feel out of control I feel most helpless. I need control, it is my professed weakness. God deals with me constantly in this aspect of my life. This is my wilderness lesson that God repeats year after year in my life. He may spend the next 40 years beating me with this lesson, and I welcome it, because with each beating He opens my eyes. Unfortunately, I cannot understand why the lesson does not sink in so I can move onto a different lesson. Since arriving in Israel, as many of you know, life has presented us with MANY challenges. I guess I wasn't expecting these challenges. See, the year before my husband and I got married I prayed over every aspect of life by categories (as not to forget anything) every day of every week. Our first year of marriage was so smooth, Josh's basketball contract and everything that went with it was perfect! So I did the same knowing we had baby on the way...and I...

Why did you choose homebirth?

We patiently waited for our name to be called by the Department of Interior associate who would help us process the paperwork necessary to record the birth of our daughter in Israel. At this time our sweet girl was 5 days old. Leading up to her birth I was asked and re-asked the same question in one way or another, usually with an undertone suggesting I am crazy : *Why don't you have your baby in a hospital? At first I would offer people the numerous reasons I chose homebirth: 1. I want a natural birth (truly natural) 2. I want a relaxing environment 3. This is not a medical condition it doesn't require a hospital to occur 4. I have always wanted to do it 5. My body was designed to do this and the best place for me to do it is at home 6. I feel it is the safest option for my child and myself 7. I don't agree with hospital protocols for childbirth and the list goes on....(I am more than willing to expand on these reasons if you would like, just email me). H...
