Before and After


Neveah (Ne-vay-a) Kensington Eborn was born on July 25, 2012 at 5:26 am. She weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. Sam went into labor around 1:00am and began timing contractions. Every labor has been different and she wasn't quite sure what to expect. Her contractions were one minute long and 7-8 minutes apart. She wasn't quite sure if this was it so she continued to time and count contractions. Around 4:30am she decided it was time to wake Ryan up, by this time the contractions were more intense and her body was going into shock from the pain. Ryan called Grandma Iris, and we headed to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital the receptionist played 20 questions before admitting us. As Sam entered the labor and delivery room, once again questions were asked and the nurses seemed to be in no hurry to get things set up. At 5:00 they finally checked Sam and said she was at a 7+, things picked up rapidly from there and the nurses were all in shock because Sam was in control and didn't really act like she was in labor. Sam did not want an epidural and baby Neveah was born at 5:26am. Sam said that the whole experience went exactly how she had been praying it would for the last 3 weeks. She was strong and healthy as was the baby.  Our little miracle number 4 is such an angel and piece of heaven in our home. We feel so blessed to be her parents and love the amazing amount of love this little bundle has brought into our home!

What a great day to be born! Congratulations!!!! Sam you are amazing, doing it natural. It would be neat to have that experience. You are strong, so if any one could endure it, you could. She is perfect and a perfect addition to an already beautiful family. Hopefully, we can spend some time with her. We will have to have a birthday celebration together sometimes. Congratulations again and we love you all.

We are so greatful for your new little daughter and that both mother and baby are doing so well. She is so perfect in every way. It is almost overwhelming to think that Heavenly Father trusts us to care for and nurture such a sweet and perfect little child in this world. You are great parents and will give her unconditional love and care. She will be taught the important things that will help her to find her way back to her Father in Heaven. As she grows you will too in so many ways and you will bless her just as she blesses your live.

LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER!!!
