We just welcomed the newest addition to our amazing family. Miller Elizabeth Slavens. 7lbs 7 oz. 19" and healthy.
We knew something was special about this one because she made her mom work so dang hard for her to come.
Noone worked as hard as Alexa did on a clean, health ridden pregnancy. She had great plans for no meds, no extra chemicals or medicines... she was hoping for a clearn birth. This time the Lord has something else in store for her. The situation called for a twist, not one that she wanted, but she willing submitted to what was best for Miller. A strong jagged pill to swallow for sure and a few questions for heaven did come to her mind....
My prayer is that the look on this girls face right now, will be etched in my memory for ever. The wry little smile, and the knowing spirit your face emanates......It is one for the ages. A new exhausted mom, who probably has already forgotten the painful journey that she had to travel and doesn't even know how beautifully sweet and peaceful her gaze is. A sense of contentment that is only known to those who go through this process. Something that women only know. Something that Moms know that only God knows.
She is already looking ahead....wondering what this means and yet at the same time knowing that nothing will ever be the same.
Welcome little Miller....Can I say Millie already? I haven't even met you yet but I had to share this story now.
The tender mercy of the Lord to have such capable and prepared professionals to help guid them both towards this amazing moment!
Well done Lexi Lu! My eyes are full, my heart is pounding and I am so proud of you. You have always wanted to be a Mom and now you are. It is real, it happened and now you can realize all your childhood dreams.
Thank God for the miracle of life. The nobility of Motherhood is your new mantle. You will rise up to meet it and wear it like a favorite pair of shoes.
Now let's get both of you home so we can see what this girlie is going to do.......
