On Monday night at 7:00 Nathan and I went in to the hospital for me to be induced. It soon became obvious that things were already progressing naturally, and we were very thankful for that. They kept me in overnight and gave me several batches of antibiotics during the night. Around six in the morning I started having some pretty decent contractions. They still wanted to give me pitocin so at 7:30 they started giving it to me. Two hours later, and much faster than the midwife had anticipated, Josiah Paul was born at 9:28 on 11/12/13. Nathan was able to deliver him. It was an easy labor, and for the most part, I've had an easy recovery.
Nathan had a little brother named Josiah who died at 16 weeks. We were already thinking we would name our little guy after him when we found out about my eye. Josiah means "Jehovah Heals", so that just solidified in our minds that Josiah was the perfect name for this time in our lives. Nathan's middle name is Paul after his grandpa so we continued that.
We are so thankful for a healthy baby boy. God certainly has given us a blessing in the midst of our trials!
