No, I don’t just mean that she grew…I mean, she grew up. Selah is starting to feel like a contributing part of our family. I… Continue reading Selah B, 5 months

Thoughts on life and love, now that pink has invaded my world… Selah. I have a daughter and her name is Selah.

Valentine’s Day, Part I
“For God so loved the world that he gave…” Love is about giving. Love is not just about giving things, but about giving your very self. Any mother could testify that this is the most difficult, yet the most rewarding, part of being a mama. We love so much, that we give… We give our… Continue reading Valentine’s Day, Part I

Feliz Navidad

Selah B, 1 month old!
Selah Bethany (Selah B, Selah Love, Little S, Selah Insert-random-middle-name-here-like-Daddy-does…) is one month old!

I don’t remember feeling quite this sad about growth acceleration with Elliott. Maybe because… Continue reading Selah B, 1 month old!
The Day That Selah Came Part II
The Day That Selah Came–Part II Click here to read Part I It’s amazing how when something goes right, you realize how wrong it was before. In retrospect, I have even more confidence that the c-section was exactly the right call with Elliott. I know it may sound crazy, but despite the facts, there was always this teeny,… Continue reading The Day That Selah Came Part II
The Day That Selah Came
Note #1: Because my firstborn, my sweet baby Elliott, was born via c-section, we had to make a choice about the type of birth we wanted to have with our daughter. A VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean) has its risks because it is possible (though unlikely with the type of incision I had with my… Continue reading The Day That Selah Came
