I love how Sarah shares they found out they were expecting Miss Norah:
"We were ready for a second baby and tried for several months. My husband and I are both teachers, so we decided to take a couple of months off because the due date would be late July or August which is a busy time in preparing for the next school year. God has a sense of humor because after months of no success and trying to “time it” to fit our schedule, I finally got pregnant and due July 22nd. On the night of November 13th I decided to take a pregnancy test because I had a feeling I might be pregnant. So as my husband got our son ready for bed I took the test and couldn’t believe my eyes. A positive test after so many negatives! When I walked into my son’s room, Daniel took one look at my face and said, “You’re pregnant!!” We were so excited and shocked! It was a special moment, as we said our night prayers with Luke, being able to thank God for the new baby in my belly. We called everyone to tell them the news. Both of my grandmother’s said the same thing, “Oh, I’m so happy for you! I hope the baby is healthy and I hope it’s a girl!” It seemed like everyone wanted us to have a girl, but we would have been happy either way"
"When we found out we were having a girl everyone was very happy, but then came the hard part…deciding on a name. Luke was pretty adamant on the name “Baby Jesus”. After lots of thought and discussion we decided to go with a name that has personal meaning to us. We chose Norah Lynn, after my grandmother, Leanora, and my husband’s grandfather, Jackie Lynn. Norah’s birth was a whirlwind of emotions. We were being induced and knew it was just a waiting game. I was making steady progress, but still just waiting. Then everything happened so quickly. The doctor came in and said we had to get her out now. I knew it was serious, but I’m glad that I didn’t have time to process how serious it actually was. She was turned the wrong way and had a prolapsed cord around her neck. It went from waiting, to pushing, to taking her to the nursery so quickly that I didn’t have time to be worried or scared. Our pediatrician was on call that night, so I knew Norah was in good hands. Everything turned out perfect."
