We've spent 3 weeks in July at beaches in Florida and one in Orlando. It's been one long vacation, lots of family time and enjoyment of each other. We've all been so thankful for this journey we are on. Life on the RV seems so normal at this time. Everyone is thriving, well adjusted and most of all, we are together as a family!<br />

...and just like that, in the blink of an eye, your first year came and went so quickly. What a year it was our precious Moriyah Elyse! We've grown as a family in <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">love</span>, trust, and our faith. You've taught each of us so much about the wonders of life and the freshness of the Father's hand in each area of our days. You have blessed us so richly that words won't accurately describe the depth. I've seen a different side of each of the children when they tenderly care and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">love </span>on you. YHWH truly new what He was doing when he surprised us with you <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">♥ </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">You are amazing us all with your learning! You're communicating so well, repeating our words, using sign language, responding when asked to do/ get something specific. The children are really enjoying this stage! You adjust quickly to each new environment as we travel along. You nap in the sling and are most content there so I've had to adjust to wearing you mostly all day. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Not sure how much you weigh. You've yet to go to the Doctor. We don't have a scale on the RV so I couldn't even guess.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most people say you look like Dalton and have more of my features. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love your laugh, your smell, your smile! I love it when you run up to me and say "Mom" or "Hi" when I pick you up in the mornings! I love to see you dance and clap to your favorite songs. We all love you so much girly! We are heading to Florida for the month of July and are all looking forward to some fun in the sun :)<br />
So thankful to be your Mommy ♥</div>

The children are having a ball as you practice going back and forth between them. So far you just have two bottom teeth and are still nursing throughout the night. I bought you an amber teething necklace after a friend recommended it. It seems to calm you a bit. You are definitely my most high need baby but it's getting better. I'm thankful to have so many helpers! You are waving and saying hi to everyone, still learning baby sign language and really communicating now. You are very healthy. We've not been to a Doctor once. This month you had your first chiropractic adjustment on our RV by a new friend we met. What a blessing and so convenient. Daddy put up your name canopy on the RV by our bed to create your own space. You alternate between your playpen and our bed at night. We've been doing a lot of hiking, outdoor activity which you love. You've always been happier outside since you were born. I'm looking forward to a new sling to carry you on the back in. Your hair is getting lighter, eye lashes are longer and most everyone says you look like your Mommy! May YHWH continue to keep His hand on you and shine His face upon you. I love you so much! </center><br />

This month we made the transition onto our RV for full time living so we can be together as a family as Daddy works out of the RV and we travel around to where he needs to be for his meetings. We have embraced the smaller living space, knowing it will draw us even closer as a family and thankful for the opportunity YHWH has given us. You have your own little space in our room but sleep in the sling most days and in our bed most nights :) We celebrated your first Passover this month at a campground in <a href="http://simplysetapartlife.blogspot.com/2012/04/rv-living-and-update.html">Kentucky</a>. I wore you around in the sling almost the entire week. You are crawling everywhere and wanted to be on the ground going but somehow you know when I'm wearing you that you can't and you are content to just see the world from my view. You are eating more this month and enjoying the variety of fresh fruits and veggies although you prefer nursing still. You seem more petite at this age than your sisters. Not sure what you weigh since you've never been to a Doctor appointment. We guess it's around 17 pounds. You have your first tooth now and the other just broke through last night. You are doing well with your signing that Sissy is teaching you. We went to visit Daddy's family in Alabama for his <a href="http://www.ourwholeheartedfamily.com/blog/?p=3349">birthday</a> and had a great time visiting with them. We all <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">love</span> you so much Moriyah! Everyone is looking forward to you taking your first steps probably in the next month. </div>

You are crawling all over the place, pulling up on everything and starting to cruise around! Now that you are on the go your'e not happy being contained. Everyone wants to hold you and watch after you but no one likes to hear your screams. They are LOUD! You have a temper and clinch your fists and tighten up when you want something you can't have or if it's taken away from you. Sissy has started teaching your bay sign language and you are catching on so quickly. So far you know how to sign for more and milk. You also clap when we sing to you which is pretty much all the time. Our family sings the Shema from Deuteronomy 6 each morning and evening. I noticed this month that when you are fussy, it's the ONLY thing that will calm you besides nursing. So guess what we are always singing! Ah, I love that. He inhabits the praises of Israel my love and you are already showing the characteristics of the meaning of your name.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We are very thankful that you've never been to a doctor. You are very healthy. I'm not sure how much you weigh but I think it's around 16 pounds. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What a gift and a treasure you are! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Myriad Pro';"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is SO much to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> about you sweet little girl! What a great month! I need to determine myself to take photos of you with your brothers. They hold and love on you too but it seems I never capture it. You've had two colds this month and wanted to nurse a lot. So we are not on any good schedule right now. You still wake up once a night and I don't let you cry. I actually look forward to going in to comfort you back to sleep. It's our quiet time together. You wake up and go to bed at the same time each day. This month you have mastered sitting up by yourself when on your tummy. The children get such a kick out of seeing you getting up on your knees to rock back and forth, then rolling over and pushing yourself up to a sitting position. You'll be crawling in no time so I need to get a playpen to keep you safe since you don't like your excersaucer anymore. You're not really interested in eating. So far I've mashed banana, egg yolk, avocado and yogurt and you gag! Our family will be moving to Tennessee later this month and we've been packing up and preparing. It's bittersweet to leave the home both you and Irelyne were born in. We are looking forward to what is ahead for our family and watching you grow and brighten each day in our family! We love you sooooo much Me Me, your nickname that has stuck :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You are definitely teething. You drool constantly and always have a chewie in your mouth because it feels good. Victoria helped me weigh and measure you. At 6 months you are 15 pounds and 26 inches in length. It looks like the 50% range. You still wake up once a night to nurse. You don't even cry you just make little noises and I run in to get you. I actually look forward to the quiet with you. I love you so much and enjoy being your Mommy. You are a precious blessing♥</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> that you are getting bigger and filling out with all the Mommy milk. I'm comfortable letting the girls carry you around more. They love it too! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> how much you have changed our family and are teaching us all. You've brought us closer as a family. Only Abba could have done such a thing! The other night during Scripture time I looked over at you sitting is Sissy's lap and my eyes filled with tears. The children adore you, are learning life skills from you and have learned to happily serve even more within our home. Sissy is a huge help to me. If I can't tend to you she gladly asks if she can. She's the only one besides me that can put you down for naps with the exception of Gregory rocking you to sleep once this month. He was so proud! I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> that Sissy enjoys holding you while teaching or playing piano. You are learning the sounds and it calms you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> LOVE </span>that you have found your voice! You coo SO loudly throughout the day. Even when you are nursing you will stop to look up at me and coo. I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> that! You squeal in delight whenever we talk and interact with you. You love Daddy and give him the best smiles! I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> how cute and tiny you look when he holds you. It reminds of our other girls and how fast they've grown and to cherish each moment with you as the days go by so quickly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> that you no longer require the sound of running water or being outside to calm you. Whew! That was a chore when we were out on errands. We once had to flush the toilet in a Target over and over to get you to fall asleep!! Now you go to sleep between 8:30-9pm each night and sleep until about 5am. I feed you and put you back down then wake you for the day at 8am. You still spit up a lot and more than any of the other babies. Mostly when I don't burp you well. I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span> that I can put you in your "command center" and you like it. That is a term Daddy came up with for the excersaucer when Gregory was little. You are learning to bring objects to your mouth once you have actually grabbed them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4X6rt78DWzI/TtUarrOXRqI/AAAAAAAAAtY/UhCeBp-xnwk/s1600/DSC00999.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4X6rt78DWzI/TtUarrOXRqI/AAAAAAAAAtY/UhCeBp-xnwk/s400/DSC00999.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Here is a sweet video the girls took with my iPhone while I was in the post office. <br />
Apparently they woke Moriyah up from her nap and began singing to her!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We went on our first family camping trip with you this month to celebrate <a href="http://www.ourwholeheartedfamily.com/blog/?p=2504">Sukkot</a>. You did very well sleeping on the camper for the most part. You got used to the noise and learned to sleep through it. I carried you in the sling a lot and you learned to nap that way. Your sleeping routine is 9:30-4am most nights and then I feed you again at 7am to start your day. I love all your big smiles and coos. You are starting to bring objects to your mouth but mostly suck on your hands and on your tongue which is too cute! We are nursing exclusively but I put you in disposables for camping and have not gone back to our cloth diapers but plan to this week. We are all looking forward to spending more time outdoors with the cooler weather and letting your wear your cute hats sissy makes you! I love you so much "Miss Meee-I-ya" as Dalton calls you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><br />

The best part is I was able to use my free coupon and only paid for shipping. You can view it in full screen and may have to reload a few times...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love that you are becoming more alert, smiling and cooing at all of us. You are getting longer and weigh around 11 pounds. I will know for sure next week when I go for my Midwife checkup. This month I have had the beginnings of mastitis a few times and was able to fight it off with garlic and cabbage leaves. Thankfully it never got to the point of fever. We are not doing a lot away from home and I am getting rest since you are a good sleeper so it's probably me nursing you while I sleep or that you sleep up to 5 or 6 hours at night sometimes. So I've started waking you up at least twice a night if you don't wake yourself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</b></div><div>Wow, a month went by so quickly! It was a precious time and exhausting at the same time. We are finally settling in to a nice routine. I wake you at the same time each morning to start your day and have you eating every 3 hours. We have some time awake time with you and then you are back down for a nap. You seem more fussy than my other babies (but this time I have so many hands willing to help) and because of this I started our routine earlier that with the others. This way I know when you are fussy what exactly is wrong. Victoria seems to calm you easily and I find myself asking her to hold you! I put you down while you are still awake and occasionally you fall asleep but mostly you are rocked, nursed to sleep at night. You are just now starting to sleep in your crib since you sleep better there. You go 4-5 hours at bedtime after bath and bedtime routine and then wake for the 3 hour feed before your morning feed/breakfast. </div><div></div><div>We hardly left the house this month with the exception of your 2 week checkup, a grocery store trip, newborn portraits and a few dinners at Nana and Poppy's up the road. You weigh 9 pounds now and your face and body are filling out. We've all had fun seeing if your eyes will turn brown because in the light they look grey/dark blue. Of course we know they will be brown but it's been fun. It's also been fun sharing you with the children and seeing how happy you make us all. The coos and smiles are starting! I was looking forward to that!</div><div><br />
</div><div>You are VERY loved sweet baby girl. May Yah continue to keep His hand upon you, keep you healthy and safe.</div><div><b><br />

I have richly enjoyed our time together while <a href="http://www.ourwholeheartedfamily.com/blog/?p=2282">Daddy has been home</a> taking care of everything for me so we can have our special time during these early days. I will miss our babymoon but I'm going to try and drag it out a bit longer! Our first and only outing was to see Debra for your two week check-up. You are back up to your birth weight at 8.8 pounds and very healthy. All the children adore you and want to hold and kiss you ALL the time. I love you so much and can't imagine our family without you in it. You are so precious and we are all so incredibly blessed and thankful for you.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">I remember the moment I found out I was pregnant with you. It was November 13th and our family had recently returned from an amazing eleven day Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) celebration. On one of the last days prayers were said for the wombs of the women to be opened and little did we know, mine would be one of them. We thought our family was complete. After all, Dalton our youngest would be turning 4 in a few short weeks. On the morning I took the pregnancy test I didn't have any symptoms. I just had the overwhelming feeling that I was pregnant. Daddy was working in our home office and the children were playing outside. I took the test and it showed positive immediately. I took the stick into where Daddy was with a huge smile on my face and sat down in front of him. He looked up and said "You're pregnant?" and I nodded. He stood up and hugged me. As we had done several times before with positive tests we spent the next several moments embraced and envisioning our family with an infant and the changes that lie ahead. Then we prayed with thankful hearts.</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Daddy was set to leave the following morning on a business trip so we agreed to tell the children on Erev Shabbat (Friday night) at dinner. It was hard to keep the secret. I spent the week creating a pregnancy blog and staying busy with home schooling. During this week we found out another couple from Sukkot and dear friends of ours were also expecting around the same time! So exciting. Friday finally came and Daddy arrived home with flowers. We were both eager to share our joy with your siblings. After prayers and blessings Daddy announced that YHWH would be adding to our family in late July with either a brother or a sister. Victoria and Gregory were excited but Rebekah, Irelyne and Dalton didn't quite catch on or understand. In fact it wasn't until the end of dinner that they understood that I was in fact pregnant because apparently they thought we were adopting since we'd talked of it in the past. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">I had used the same Midwife with my last three home births but this time i felt deep within the need to look elsewhere. I did a search and found that the assistant with Daltons birth had her own practice. I loved Debra. Daddy did too. She was so calming and very laid back instead of take charge like the previous midwife. I didn't know why Father would be leading me this direction but I was certainly going to listen and as with everything when we choose to obey the revelations come. They did come and I will share about it later.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">My first trimester was uneventful and other than being tired I felt great. We even took a family camping trip to Sante Fe for fun in the snow. My second trimester was busy with various projects around our home and an ultrasound that revealed you are a girl! So during the third trimester we began working on your nursery and preparing for your arrival. We had been praying about <a href="http://babymakeshalfadozen.blogspot.com/2011/05/we-have-name.html">your name</a> for months wanting YHWH to name you. <a href="http://babymakeshalfadozen.blogspot.com/2011/05/we-have-name.html">MoriYah Elyse</a> means set apart and chosen/taught by Yah. Our desire is that your life will reflect your beautiful name. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">The ladies in our fellowship gave us a tea party baby shower. It was such a fun afternoon celebrating you and making hair bows. With just two weeks until my due date Debra shared that you were still posterior and it wasn't a big concern but for me to do a little research on it because my labor would be a bit different that all the previous ones. I browsed a few websites and tried the last week to get you to turn but you were comfortable and didn't budge. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">My due date came and went as I expected it would. The children were growing anxious to meet you and asking all throughout the final days "when is Moriyah coming?" I tried to savor the last movements in my large tummy and baby hiccups. There is nothing like it. I had a few nights of <a href="http://babymakeshalfadozen.blogspot.com/2011/07/labor-part-1.html">false labor</a> and finally exactly one week past my due date on July 30 at 3:30 am I awoke to contractions. In my heart I was praying for you to be born on the Sabbath. So once I decided to call the Midwife and assistant I was excited that the time had finally come and that it was indeed Shabbat as I knew in my heart it would be on this set apart day that you would come into the world and join our family.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">All along I was positive I would labor at night after all the children were in bed just as I have always done and that it would be short and quick as usual. I was wrong. Once again the Father was teaching me patience and to look to Him and not to rely on my own strength and understanding. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Contractions were light as we awaited the Midwives. The sun began to rise and I began to wonder what was taking so long for labor to really kick in. The ladies arrived at 6am and began to set up as I walked around the house. David woke Victoria up so she could get ready. It was her desire all along to be a complete part of the process. She has felt a calling to Midwifery for some time and has been in prayer about it. I too had been praying that this would be a wonderful experience for her and for our family.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">I was checked for dilation and told I was at 8-9 and that seemed normal but I wasn't in pain so it made me cautious. The children began waking one by one and coming into our bedroom where by now I was on our bed relaxing through contractions. We all sang the Shema (Deut. 6) and prayed together. I was very emotional. I cried several times throughout my labor so thankful to be blessed again.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">By noon I was rechecked and it was noted that I was actually only at 6 and that I needed to start trying to do some things to help the baby turn and help labor progress. Apparently when a baby is "sunny side up" there isn't a lot of pressure on the cervix and labor takes much longer. At this point I was exhausted but went along with all the various techniques and did my best to concentrate, pray and focus through the pain. Debra shared that I had options and we could easily go to a nearby hospital if I ever felt like I couldn't go on. It was horrifying to hear. She reassured David that baby and I were fine and that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">she was trying to help and didn't want me to feel trapped.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">By 1pm it was decided that I get into a warm bath to relax. The bath was nice but I couldn't get comfortable and my body kept wanting to lean back instead of forward. The entire time Moriyah was active as if trying to find her way. I remember Victoria coming in and seeing Daddy and I both yawning and then all of us laughing. We were beyond tired.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">While there in the bath my Mom showed up with pizza and to help with the children. She came in and prayed for the baby to turn. I could tell she was concerned. After she returned to the kitchen I shared with David that I wasn't worried because the baby was moving but that I simply wasn't prepared for the lengthy labor. It was likely that if i was transported that I would have a Caesarian and baby and I would be medicated. I continued praying for strength.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Just at that moment YHWH sent my Midwife Assistant in to see how I was doing and for encouragement. Heather has five children and shared that her last labor was longer than her first and she said I needed to adjust my thinking and get rid of any expectations I may have had because 'the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">LORD is doing something different this time." Then she asked if </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">I'd prayed. I had been in what seemed a constant state of prayer and I had much peace and wasn't anxious a bit. So I settled back in to concentrating but now with a different mindset. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">By now it's after 2pm and I am hungry and dreaming of a green smoothie. I decide to continue eating crushed ice and fresh cantaloupe from our garden that Daddy and Victoria have been bringing me since early morning. At 3pm I get out and go back to my bed. Around 4pm I start transition. I know this because I can no longer keep quiet. My moans are getting louder. Victoria was right there rubbing my back and Daddy was beside her and concerned at this point he would later share. It's been 13 hours since labor began. I tell Victoria she doesn't have to stay if I am scaring her. She reassures me I am not and that she is fine. I opened one eye and told Daddy to take a break and go out of the room. It is 5pm. He actually did go out of the room and asked Debra to check his blood pressure. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">The Midwives were in the living room where they stayed most of the day to give us privacy. Daddy shared later that he was concerned and didn't know how much more I could take. This was a first for us. The longest labor prior was Sissy and since she was my first it was expected and was roughly 12 hours born in a hospital with pain medication.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">There was no break in pain for a solid hour. I must have announced that I needed to push because Victoria ran to gather Daddy and Debra. Pushing was a relief and two pushes later you crowned with your hand by your face and all were surprised to see you had actually turned! As your head came out my water broke and Daddy pulled you up onto my chest! Whew! It was 5:14pm. I immediately noticed how tiny you were in comparison to the last three babies. With a head full of dark hair you began to cry and I kissed you, kissed Daddy and thanked Sissy and the Midwives. As we waited for your cord to stop pulsating I tried to nurse you and you latched right on. The after birth contractions are just as bad as labor contractions! 30 minutes later I delivered the placenta and Sissy cut the cord. Daddy has always done this but he asked if she wanted to and she was excited to get to do it. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Sissy went to get the other children so they could meet you while Daddy recorded their chatter as they walked down the hall. They joyfully came into the room with cards they had been working on. Daddy put on his tallit and blessed and dedicated you. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Again, I was in tears. It was a precious moment with all of us gathered around you.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Looking back I now understand why I was led to another Midwife with a completely different disposition.

</div>We are all so thankful that Moriyah is finally here with us! She came into the world and joined our family on a Shabbat just as I knew in my heart she would. It had been my desire that she would be born on the set apart day and Father honored that. It was my longest and hardest labor and one I am still processing from all the spiritual and life lessons. It was such an amazing process albeit a long 14 hours. <br />

I knew from the moment I found out I was pregnant that this precious miracle was a gift for our entire family and she is. She is so much more than words can describe. Each of the children adore her and Victoria was amazing through my labor which I will share when I write my birth story. She even cut the cord! She and my wonderful husband were my anchors and support.<br />

photo from spinning babies.com</a></div>My last three babies were born at home after putting the other children to bed. I tend to go into full labor best this way when I can relax completely. All three labors were very quick two-three hours from start to finish. This pregnancy is a bit different. I have had days of warm up with contractions coming in the evenings and close enough to start timing. Once I get in the hot shower and into bed they spread out and I fall asleep. It's frustrating to say the least. Last night I took a hot shower after getting the children into bed and settled in to go to sleep at 10pm. My contractions started immediately. They were coming so quickly that I had my husband call the midwife. Her drive is about an hour so we have planned to call early instead of late since I tend to go quickly. Debra then called two other midwives for backup and they all started on their way. In the meantime I was having fairly good contractions but not a great deal of pain. I decided to shower again. Contractions stopped.<br />
<br />
UGH! I called Debra to let her know. She said they all WANTED to come even though it was now midnight and would arrive shortly. She said if nothing else, we could all visit and check me and baby out. I felt so much better because at this point I was feeling lousy for having called. It was a first for me.<br />
<br />
Once the three ladies arrived we all sat in our bedroom with David there to listen and assist if needed. I was checked and it was confirmed that little Miss is VERY posterior and it is very much the cause of my start and stop labor that I had been experiencing for the last several days. At one point, all of us were on all fours doing exercise and movements to try and get baby to turn. You can imagine the sight :) I glanced over at my sweet husband who was looking down and trying to be a gentleman. I could only imagine what was going through his mind. In fact we got a great laugh once everyone went home and we crawled into bed!<br />
<br />
So after about two hours, I decided to get some sleep and send the ladies home even though they were more than willing to stay with us. Once I was back in bed the contractions started up again! REALLY? I called Debra and she adviced I get back into the shower. Once I did I could relax but I was hurting. After about a 15 minute period I felt good enough to try and rest and called to let her know. I fell asleep around 4am and woke up at 7am.<br />
<br />
I've been doing all kinds of movements this morning that are suggested on <a href="http://www.spinningbabies.com/">spinning babies</a>. Prayerfully they will work and we can meet out little girl soon!<br />

My last three babies came at 42 weeks. I've been having lower back pain these last few days with contractions and I can tell that Moriyah has dropped very low. She is still very active and it's quite uncomfortable since she is posterior. I've tried everything to get her to turn and she is content right where she is.<br />
<br />
Today was a relaxing Sabbath. We stayed home, listened to Keith Green praise and worship, slept a lot, took a long family walk, read our Scriptures, did crafts with the children, listened to an amazing teaching by Rico Cortes, grilled cheeseburgers this evening and enjoyed a yummy dessert Victoria threw together. I was also very blessed that Victoria gave me a wonderful foot massage today. After another long walk, we ended the day in our garden as we usually do and then with bath and prayers.<br />
<br />
I am overcome with emotions of thankfulness tonight as I write down my thoughts to remember. I never dreamed David and I would have 6 children to love and raise to walk in truth. Our baby has been such an unbelievable gift to our family and she isn't even here yet. I'm looking forward to David being home with us for two weeks once the baby arrives.<br />
<br />
Father you are so good in all things and I am humbled by your love and kindness. May our family, our arrows, reflect this and shine for your truth to all the world drawing others to you. Thank you for my precious family. Thank you for allowing this little baby to be born at home with no complications and surrounded by love into this family you have chosen for her. I know she will come in your perfect time and as in all things I pray for patience and trust knowing you are in control.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today was my tea party baby shower hosted by a wonderful and precious group of ladies from our fellowship. It was such a meaningful and sweet celebration of life. Most of the gifts were handmade and will most definitely be heirlooms. One of the ladies said she had prayed that I would feel the love of the Father through their giving and serving. There is no doubt that I did, still do and am overwhelmed by the love and thankful for the kindness shown to me and my family. A very big thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those involved with planning, preparing, giving and joining us to celebrate our little blessing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</tbody></table><div>At my midwife visit last week I was dilated 3cm and 40% effaced. However, I've gone to 42 weeks with the last three babies and it may end up the same way this time. I'd like to deliver sooner because my babies tend to pack on the weight the last two weeks. Dalton was just shy of 12 pounds at birth! With just 5 days until my "due date" I am beyond excited and ready to meet Moriyah. In fact all of us are. The children are so sweet trying to keep the house tidy and clean and there's no doubt there won't be a lack of hair bows for this baby! Thank you all for the messages, emails, calls, gifts that have been sent in the mail or brought by and prayers during this much anticipated time. Oh and in case you missed my update on our family blog you can see the latest picture update <a href="http://www.ourwholeheartedfamily.com/blog/?p+2206">here</a>. Stay tuned for baby news...</div><div><br />

In the past my babies are born with such sensitive skin and I've used cloth for the first few weeks but then found it to be way too much work. After looking into them once again I was thrilled to find so many great changes. It also helps that I'm of a more frugal mindset now and just can't seem to justify spending so much on disposable wipes and diapers when I can wash them. The initial start up cost will cover a ONE month supply of newborn disposables! Can't beat that. For my initial purchase I ordered a kit which will include 5 diaper covers like the one pictured in pink, 2 dozen pre-folded diapers, organic cleaners and detergent, cloth wipes and pail liner. If you are interested I have added several info links in my sidebar. I would love any input or advice you care to share with me if you have experience in this area! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
With three weeks remaining I am starting to swell a bit but it goes away after I get off my feet, I've also stopped sleeping at night. I'm up at all hours. It's so amazing how our Creator prepares us for 'baby hours' ahead of time isn't it? He is so good to us in all things.<br />
<br />
I am trying to finish up all my loose ends around the house and with the children. <br />
We are all so excited. After leaving fellowship yesterday Gregory announced that he "couldn't wait until our baby is born!" Aww made my heart melt. I can't either. I wonder if I will ever see Moriyah with all the children wanting to hold her and care for her. One thing is certain she is SO loved and wanted! Praises to the King of Kings for His mercy and goodness to me!<br />

My Midwife came to our home today for the home visit that takes place during the last month of pregnancy. This is the point where I start getting excited and the nesting kicks in. I've had a total of 5 Midwife visits. I suppose with this being our 6th I feel comfortable, know what signs to look for, etc. and confident in the entire process. Birth is such a beautiful natural thing and something we were created to do!<br />

Moriyah is head down and seems to be smaller than the last three at this point. Of course she could grow a lot over the last few weeks so I am really watching my diet and eating healthy. I'm not sleeping very well at night due to the little acrobat and pressure on my bladder and still trying to enjoy these final weeks of pregnancy. Swimming has been great with the temps so high here in Texas and the exercise is a plus!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the short clip Victoria was able to capture during our visit...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">We finally started on our nursery last week. It's been a family effort. Each of our children have graciously helped out and pitched in with joy. I'm so blessed that they love to work together and for each other. I set a budget of $300 for a total and found everything (dresser, glider, curtains, knobs, electrical covers, pillows, crib bedding) either on eBay or Craigslist. Even the paint we used was literally used and not new :) Everything is from Pottery Barn. My rug I found on Craigslist from PB is not here yet. My cousin picked it up for me since she lives in the town I found it in which is 2 hours from here and I sent her a check. We painted our old crib and changing table. The only thing that is new is the tree decal. It is amazing and looks like it was painted on. I splurged a bit on that one item :) It was cheaper than having someone do it and quicker than doing it ourselves. It is a blessing to learn to be frugal. My husband has a wonderful income but I am learning to be frugal. It's a process that I am embracing and very thankful for and to also be teaching our children.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I found a lot of baby girl onesies in storage and didn't even remember storing them. I also found a lot of my old cloth diapers. I plan to use them exclusively this time around and am really looking forward to it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I walk most mornings with the children, drink lots of fresh green smoothies from my Vitamix and am eating much better than with my other pregnancies. Heartburn isn't too bad but it's starting up now that I am nearing the end. I have my apple cider vinegar in all my smoothies to help out with that. Moriyah is VERY active especially at night which doesn't help me to sleep well but I love to feel her move around and so does Hubby and children. I'm enjoying the pregnancy. I love everything about life growing inside of me and having this opportunity to teach our children about how awesome our Creator is through the process.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

We have prayed diligently for our baby girls name. All of our children are named after someone and are special in meaning. We knew we wanted a Hebrew name but I also desired a feminine name. I have taken liberty to change the common spellings and make them unique. I couldn't decide on adding the Y in Moriah but after seeing it spelled out, what stood out to me was "YAH" and I had immediate confirmation in my spirit. Praise Yah for answered prayers!<br />
<br />
With all my heart I will endeavor to set her apart to the Most High knowing He has chosen her for a purpose. May David and I humbly and diligently teach her of His ways so that she will walk in them all of her days.<br />

It's true that the second trimester is the best. I felt great, wasn't very big yet and could get around well. All of a sudden I feel huge and I'm tired!! In fact we did a lot of schooling at my bedside this week. I also think I must have pulled something while working in the yard because I've been in a bit of pain. I have vowed to slow down and enjoy the remaining months of this pregnancy. Not sure if I will stick with it with so many projects going around our home but I'm going to try. I had David snap a few shots this morning before our guests arrived for fellowship...<br />

As you can see our little darling has grown :) I've learned to squat instead of bend (since I can't!) I have been earnestly praying for a name. I want Abba to name this blessing and He keeps bringing the same name to my mind and my heart. Upon learning the meaning from a friend I shared with I fell more in love with the name. I'll keep you in suspense a bit longer as I continue to seek confirmation with David. We truly want her Creator to name her!<br />
<br />
So that's about it. The nursery has turned into a "play" room so not much progress there. However once our pool is set up and the rest of our garden boxes are complete we will begin preparing our nursery. I am actually looking forward to it because I know how much Victoria wants to be involved. She continues asking when we will begin. I'm blessed by our children's anticipation of our new addition and my husbands constant care and attention to my needs. <br />
<br />
Once again, thank you for checking in on me! Much love to each of you!<br />
