Grown by Grace farm is the name of our 14 acre homestead in Iowa. We came up with this name as it is our desire to grow by God's grace here, whether it be our babies, 4 kitties and a woof, crops, or gardens! Jon and I are both born again christians, which means we have a "new life" in Jesus Christ as we recognize Him as Savior of our sins, by His death and resurrection from the cross. I hope to use this blog to share with you some of the Lords blessings on our lil' country life here :)

Isaiah's Birthday Story
I had faux contractions for about 3-4 weeks but Feb. 8th they started at 5 am... and kept on trucking.... then died off around 2pm. So I took a little nap on the couch... and woke up to a lovely gush of warm fluid.. my water had broke! After a quick hair fix and a couple changes of clothing (the water kept breaking! haha) Jon came home and we were off to the hospital... with contractions resuming by now and starting to HURT! We arrived to the hospital about 4 pm and some increasingly painful contractions.
I know, I know.. who takes a picture of
someone in PAIN???
They offered me the epidural right when I arrived
at the hospital... but I thought I could hold out.... and
about an hour later I gave in :) They gave me a WONERFUL
epidural and I just kept praising the Lord for modern medicine
the entire time it was in!
After the epidural, I dilated rather progressively.
When I was ready to push... they put my legs in the stirrups and
the babys HR dropped very low... so they got the VAC out
and told me to push as hard as I could... bc baby need to come out soon!
I pushed as hard as I could... and 2.5 pushes later Baby BOY came out!
Apgars were 8 and 9 and he was crying and pink! The cord was
compressed against his shoulder, around his waist and around his
little leg... poor guy! Born at 11:55 pm on Monday, Feb. 8th... 5 minutes
early for his DUE date! haha... the one and only time a Moeller is EARLY
for anything :)
