Hey everyone Jeremy here! I'm taking over for Josey who is completely exhausted after 1 and a half hours of sleep last night, and delivering the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen!!! Elizabeth Joan Horst was born 3/5/2012 @ 3:56pm, 4lbs10oz and 18.39inches. She left to be with Jesus about 20 minutes later, she had a very week heartbeat of about 40bpm and did not have much energy to move or open her eyes after being born. Josey, I have to say is what most nurses would call a perfect baby delivering machine! (don't tell her I said that) You would think that she has had 10 kids or something, actual delivery time of about 30 min until Elizabeth was born. And I have proof!
The two lines at the right represent dilation and baby popping out, it was crazy!!! This all was God's timing, he created an almost stress free environment for our Elizabeth to enter this world so we could hold her while she was still alive, and he granted our prayer!!!
I will let Josey fill all of you in on the details, all I can say about my experience is that at the age of 15 if someone had told me the journey that my life would have by the age of 31, I would have laughed in your face. But my faith in God has brought me to a place in my life that I could have never imagined! I also cried like a baby until she was taken out of the room, but my tears (yes held up this whole time) were the most joyous tears I have ever cried in my entire life. Knowing that my baby girl is in heaven and I will someday join her and tell her what a life changing experience she has created for me and many!!!!
