I'm finally blogging about our sweet little addition. Elisheva Simone was born on July 8, 2009 around 5:30pm. She weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces and was 21 inches long. What a joy she is to our family. I started labor around 11pm the night before. I had on and off labor until about 3pm the next day. Wow this was a very long labor for me. She finally came after about 15 hours of labor. Even after my water broke I thought "She's never going to come". Man was I relieved when she finally did. Life is so much better when I'm done being pregnant. I love the out come, but the processes is very difficult for me.So you would like to know the mystery behind her name? A year ago almost to date Elisheva's birth day I had a miscarriage. It was tragic and very difficult to me. I can't imagine loosing a child at an older age. When I became pregnant again I was very worried about loosing this baby as well. Aaron assisted in a blessing that Heavenly Father said I would have a healthy baby girl with no complications and to name her Elizabeth. We went to look up her name and it means "promise from God"! Her very name is a promise that she would be perfect and not to worry. The only problem with Elizabeth is that my brother just named his little girl Elizabeth. So as we were looking at the meaning we saw that the Hebrew version was Elisheva. We really liked this so this is her name.
I have my doubts of being a mom of 5. I worry that I can't be the kind of mom I want to be and give them all the love they deserve, but I know deep within my heart that Heavenly Father wants me to do this so I know that I can do it with His help. I pray everyday for all the love that my children need and for angles to come and administer to our family. Man does He answer prayers. I know that Heavenly Father only gives us what we can accomplish. I heard a great quote the other day "the Holy Ghost will NOT lead us down a path we cannot accomplish."
