We’re excited to introduce you to… Micah Timothy Paine. Born June 20, 2022 at 12:10 pm weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. (our smallest child) and 19 1/2 inches lengthy.
Micah means “Who’s like God?” The fertility clinic mentioned we weren’t even candidates for IVF, however God shouldn’t be restricted by check outcomes or a physician’s prognosis.
(Kierstyn’s center title is Michaela which suggests the identical factor. We by no means thought we’d have one other organic little one after 10 years of secondary infertility and being advised it was not a chance. And now now we have two. We wished each of their names to be a testomony to God’s faithfulness and that He writes the very best tales.)
We picked out his center title, Timothy, with the need that he would comply with within the steps of Timothy within the Bible, “that from infancy you’ve recognized the sacred Scriptures, that are capable of offer you knowledge for salvation by religion in Christ Jesus.” (2 Timothy 3:15)
His beginning was my best by far… I went in to be induced, was already dilated to six cm with out being in labor, so my OB broke my water, after which we solely did a really low dose of Pitocin. Energetic exhausting contractions didn’t begin till round 11:30 am and there was at the least a minute break in between them. I most likely solely had seven or so actually exhausting contractions — every that basically constructed on each other — earlier than I used to be full. I pushed by three contractions and Micah had been born at 12:10 pm and he cried a hearty cry nearly instantly.
It was a phenomenal, non-medicated, quiet, particular expertise — and it was the reply to so many, many prayers all through the whole curler coaster being pregnant. Kaitlynn received to be on the beginning and the remainder of the 4 siblings received to come back up nearly instantly after he was born.
I take a look at Micah and my coronary heart feels so stuffed with gratitude. His being pregnant was by far my hardest, however he was each bit value all of it.
