Josiah’s Birth Story

February 8, 2022 by Tiffany

Josiah’s Birth Story

To tell the full birth story of our sweet Josiah, we have to back up just a little. My entire pregnancy I had assumed I would probably be induced just as I had been with Raylee and Ruthi. It’s like my body just needs a kick and then it takes over on its own. I’ve had fairly easy inductions compared to a lot of people. I actually like being induced because I can have a plan for childcare and I know better what to expect. So when I got to 39 weeks and my doctor explained that the hospital has now changed their policy, I was taken aback. My OB said because the hospital is so busy, they won’t Continue Reading

Sepsis Survivor: My Story of Healing (Part V)

Sepsis Survivor: My Story of Healing (Part V)

This is my story of healing -- of the miracle God worked in my life. My reason for writing it out here and sharing it rather than keeping it in a private journal is in hopes of someone who may be going through a similar situation to know they aren't alone. I also believe I am a living testimony to God's healing power, and I want to share my story of healing so He can get all the glory. This story proves that prayer is powerful. That He does indeed hear us when we call out, and He cares. Because this story is long, I've split it up into multiple blog posts. Be sure to start from the beginning Continue Reading

Sepsis Survivor: My Story of Healing (Part II)

Writing my survivor story out is therapeutic for me. It's a way to release and find closure, and having it written out means I can come back to it later and relive it if I need to. I find that when I go through something traumatic, sometimes I need to relive it -- to remember it happened and it makes me who I am. I often go back and read my miscarriage story on the anniversary of it. My reason for writing it out here and sharing it rather than keeping it in a private journal is in hopes of someone who may be going through a similar situation to know they aren't alone. I also believe I am a Continue Reading

Sepsis Survivor: My Story of Healing (Part I)

I've decided to write out the details of my recent medical experience of becoming a sepsis survivor. I'm going to be sharing a lot of details. I don't know if anyone will want to read this, but these blog posts will be more for me. It will be a way for me to work through everything that happened, share my experience, and keep it for future reference. When I go through something traumatic, writing about it helps me. And having it written down where I can go back and relive it for a moment helps me too. It's a way to release and find closure. My story is long, especially if I include a lot of Continue Reading

Hospital Packing List My Second Time Around

Hospital Packing List My Second Time Around

I've been down this road before. I'm no longer a first-time mama. So I figure I have a much better idea of what I should and shouldn't take to the hospital on delivery day. I still read lots of lists online to be sure I wasn't forgetting something. But I think I had a pretty good hospital packing list this time around. First of all, let's talk about the bag. I didn't want something too big like an actual suitcase. But I also didn't want the bag to be so small that I would need five different bags! I decided it was time I bought me a new duffle bag. All of the ones we own are just worn Continue Reading

What I Didn’t Use from my Hospital Bag

What I Didn’t Use from my Hospital Bag

During the birth of our daughter, my husband and I spent two nights and two and half days in the hospital. I read all sorts of packing lists for what to take in your hospital bag. I created a list of everything I could think of, and we packed it all. I am the type of person who would rather be more prepared than needed. If it helped me feel less stressed, then fill the car to the brim! And that's what we did. Now, looking back, I can share with you which things I brought that weren't needed in my hospital bag, as well as which things I'm most thankful we had with us. What I Didn't Use Continue Reading
