Ok…since some of you have an insatiable appetite for new pictures of Evangeline, here’s a few that we’ve taken over the last few days between the broken sleep, diaper changing, and feeding. For those of you who are primarily interested in the missions aspect of our blog, I appreciate your patience as we indulge a…

I came to be with Mommy and Daddy Friday, January 16th at 11:36am. I was feeling pretty ornery, so I decided to make them come in after me, but after I met them, I decided that being with them wasn’t so bad after all. I’m 6lbs 10ozs and 20 inches long. Here’s some of my…

Well, at about 3:00 am the Dr. broke Mel’s water to relieve some of the pressure on the baby. As I write this at about 4:00 am, Mel has started to labor pretty regularly. Contractions every 2-4 min. lasting about 60 seconds each. I fully expect the baby to be waving a white flag as…

Hi! Here we are at the hospital. The waiting begins. I was only 2cm dilated so they gave me a medicine called Cervadil instead of the Pitocin. They are hoping this will put me into labor, if not, I have to wait 12 hours. Please pray this medicine will take effect. It’s all in God’s…

Over the past two days John and I have been in and out of the hospital. Not because of false labor, but to help prepare me for birth. The baby is not budging and I needed a little push. I received several doses of prostaglandin (one dose and hour for three hours on Friday and…

Today I woke up and I wished myself and Baby Bjorgen a “Happy Due Date Day”. As you know, today is my due date and I am thankful. Now, I’m not going to lie to you and say the past week has been great, it has not been a bed of roses. The last couple…

My friend Amy and I were really getting fed up with being pregnant. It’s starting to get very uncomfortable. We decided to throw ourselves a “Labor Inducing Party” just for fun. I found a recipe for eggplant parmesan online from a restaurant in Georgia. This restaurant claims to have birthed over 300 babies because of…
