I miscarried my first child, my little girl I named her Hope , I have a weeping cherry blossom in my garden for her and every year when it blossoms bright pink I know she’s smiling 💖💖💖
Great birth stories! I’m a midwife, and I’m always appreciative of women who discuss the normalcy of pregnancy and birth instead of making drama where there doesn’t always have to be.
@@henrycooper2401 - what I mean is that pregnancy and birth for the most part are normal processes. Yes, there are times that complications arise. But, so many people could have their fears relieved by choosing a provider who educates them, listens to them, and devotes the time that is needed. So much of the “drama” that I see comes from a person who didn’t get the best communication from her provider. I meant no disrespect to the pregnant person. There is so much fear surrounding the process when what we need is information.
Amy, I don't know if you have any idea just how much this short little video helped someone be able to sit at peace with a miscarriage. To describe the experience the way you did and to suggest that we name the miscarried child and to refer to the experience as starting your family in heaven was healing. Thank you.
Yes, that brought tears to my eyes. My daughter lost her first to miscarriage and I was surprised at how much it affected me. I still mourn that baby and know I'll see her in heaven.
Love hearing your birth stories. I would have never thought Autumn would have been a big baby. She is so tiny now! You have 10 beautiful children and 2 in heaven. You are a Blessed woman! God is so GREAT!
Bless your heart Amy, I cherish my three. Would of had a dozen, but like you said God has his way. Now I wait for my first grandson very soon... thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your birth stories with us. You have been such an encouragement to me. I miscarried my first baby and have gone on to have four healthy children 3 girls and one boy ranging in ages from our 1 year old boy to our oldest daughter of 8 years old. They are such a blessing to our family. Recently in early May I miscarried our 5th baby at 6 weeks. It has been hard to go through this loss but God is so faithful and has given our family such peace in knowing both of our babies are in heaven together and are whole and healthy. I hope I haven't gone on too long. Thank you again for your video.
I am blessed to have 8 healthy children. Aged 35 down to 14. The last child, our youngest boy, about did me in. I was 20 with the first and 40 with the last.
Loved hearing about your beautiful children's births! We have an adopted son and we were so blessed to witness his birth, it was the most beautiful day of our lives 💖
My maternal granny had 10 babies too. She had her first when she was 21 and the 10th at 45, two of the babies died in childhood this was in the 30’s and 40’s. I’m one of 5, I had 3 kids and now have 7 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. They become your life and I wouldn’t change anything about any of them. Your kids are a credit to you they are beautiful, god bless you and yours xx
I enjoyed hearing about your birth stories. I had 6 miscarriages and I named them all too. So I like the fact you named yours as well. I only have one son here on Earth with us. We call him our miracle baby and I picked his name from the Bible too. I love all my babies and know I will get to see them all in Heaven. I will be one happy Mama on that reunion day! ❤
You are such a down-to-earth woman. I love the fact that you're very modest and simple. But your highly intelligent. That's why your babies came out so wonderful. Keep up the great work. And you always have God on your shoulder. Have a blessed day and a good morning
Thank you for sharing your birth stories. I unfortunately do not have any children and I'm now going to be 46yrs this October, so I've missed that chance. I feel like I love vicariously through you and your family. GOD has certainly blessed you and Greg. He continues to bless all of you and me through all of your blogs. Thank You and GOD bless you all. I love you all!
Pushed for 30 minutes!!!! Holy cow - I pushed for 2.5 hours with my first one. No wonder you have 10 kids! You have a beautiful family!!!!!! I enjoy your food prep vlogs. Keep cooking!
Holy wow. I only have five but listening to you talk about child birth and feeling it’s the last one was like listening to my own thoughts. I’ve never had that before and I think that’s absolutely amazing.
Thank you for sharing these birth stories. I loved hearing them. It brings me to my own daughters birth story. She is my one and only I got to the hospital at 5:30 p.m. and she was born at 7:33 p.m. so it was really quick. I only had to push just four or five times and it was like you said with one of yours she just fell out. The doctor wanted me to stop pushing but I could not for anything so she just came out and there she was. But then after I had her and went home I ended up with an infection and had to go back into the hospital and that infection caused a lot of scar tissue which prevented me from being able to have any more children. So I am very blessed that I have her
I agree about the closeness of the babies.I have 6 that are 13 months or so apart they are blessing.There all grown now and three of them have blessed me with 8 grandbabies and one on the way already and I'm only in my mid 40's .A blessed life.They grow up friends and they love to spend time with one another.children are a blessing from God.Thank you Amy have a blessed day.
Thank you for this. Having babies is a blessing... 🙌 all of our births matter. Even the ones we loose... God just takes them all in....when we miscarry. GOD IS good
Great stories. We only had 3 babies and it’s funny I have a hard time remembering! Good job. Miscarriages are always hard. I didn’t have that experience but God has a plan. We learn from everything. Bless your sweet family and thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your babies’ birth stories. I love your faith and how it’s built your family. I had my precious Lauren as a surprise and unexpected gift as I was finishing up college. And then I had 2 miscarriages in 3 years, and was never able to get pregnant naturally again. When Lauren was about 5, the Lord spoke to me, clearly and distinctly, and told me that I had another baby waiting for me. I went through all the infertility treatments known (at that time) and now have 5 more babies in heaven, for a total of 7. After the last, I stopped the infertility treatments, and decided to just follow God’s will; eventually I had a total hysterectomy because of multiple medical issues. My life has always been filled with children, volunteering through Girl Scouts, at the local schools, and teaching Christian education at my church. Then my Lauren grew up, became an adult, my husband worked nights, and I was so lonely, although always busy, but knew something was missing. Finally God put it in my and then my husband’s heart that our baby was waiting for us, but we would be blessed with her through adoption. After much research, we attended a few informational meetings with various agencies, and then in August of 2007, we made an appointment with the agency we chose and began the process; they specialized in finding homes for babies and children in foster care. 13 months later we met our sweet, precious Kelsey and knew she was our child. The significance of the August 2007 time is that was when she was born, into a tragic and difficult situation. God knew she was ours, but gave us the time to prepare, and for her to heal, to bring us together as a a complete family. She is our bright light, our shining star, our true miracle. And I’m thankful every day for the gift of her life! One defining moment for me was during a visit with her pediatrician (who had been her doctor since birth) when the doctor’s eyes filled with tears. She said to me, “this baby is truly a miracle, but even more so, I can’t imagine what her life would have been if it wasn’t for you.” Her health was still somewhat fragile, but her mind was so sharp. She amazes us all, but particularly as a toddler because she didn’t talk but would lay out pictures and then letters to spell words, before she was 3 years old. I have always worked full time (until recently) so we put her in public school, but I’ve always supplemented her learning at home. When she was first tested for kindergarten, they stopped the reading level test at the 3rd grade level because they said it really wasn’t necessary to go on. She was still struggling with other issues, and as an August baby is always one of the youngest children in her peer group, so for her social and emotional development, we have kept her on grade level. She is, however, taking higher level courses in school, but we never want to stress her out or cause her to feel additional pressure to perform up to anyone’s expectations but God’s. And she has such a sweet and kind heart, always willing to lend a hand or be quietly soothing to those in need.🙏💕 And our family has continued to grow; Lauren was 23 when Kelsey was born, the same age I was when she was born. One year after Kelsey came into our family, Lauren moved out west, found love, married, but then thankfully moved back to VA (where we live) when they were expecting my first grand baby. Kelsey became Auntie Kelsey soon after her 7th birthday and now has 2 nieces and a nephew. At 13, she’s a great blessing to us all, and the best Auntie to the little ones.
Thanks for sharing. I have 7 myself. All grown and blessing me with grandbabies. I remember looking at my babies and thinking wow all this was inside. Children are such a blessing. My youngest daughter was a suprise.. Had an ultra sound done and it was a boy. Lol well sometime between 5 and 9 months he lost something and was born a girl lol. Poor girl she didnt have a name for 2 days and she wore blue diapers for so long. Blessings to you and your family as well as to every thing you do.
Beautiful story ❤️ Thank you Mumma for sharing. Our first was premmie and 3lbs (super tiny) and I agree was easier than the rest. We lost our 7th baby in November last year at 12weeks we named him Evermoore. God has now blessed us again and I'm now 23 weeks along with our 8th baby due in September :) last 6 babies are back to back one after another. Must admit I wouldn't change it for the world. Much love from Hampshire UK ❤️
Loved your stories, especially the part about the epidurals and the "hospital vacations", LoL! I had four but they're all grown up, now. Too many new Mommies think you have to do childbirth "perfectly" which is sad that they put so much on themselves.
Oh my gosh Amy I’m supposed to have a child who would be almost 16 also ..It was a horrible situation, tubal pregnancy, they said I almost died , at the time I wanted too I felt that I didn’t want to live without that baby ..Thsnkful to God that he got me through and helped me go on. The experience was awful the Dr actually said to me that the baby had been big - when they took the tube out because it was bursting , my whole family thought that was a horrible thing to say to a grieving mom.. I always tell the kids they have a brother we will see one day.
My grandma had 10 here in Belgium during the war era. 6 girls and 4 boys. She lost her first born (a girl) to an unnecessary surgery it later turned out, and a second girl to a bad case of the flu, both children lost in early infancy. I mean, there will always be 10. Even though only 4 boys and 4 girls got to be adults. My mom is the eldest (living) girl, inherited the first girl's name and is currently 75 years old. 2 more died as older adults (one man, one woman), and the ones that are left now come together with their husbands and wives for Christmas every year. Last year they didn't get to, with Covid, but they are all doing great. Loved this video, Amy. Loved listening to you talk of your babies and deliveries. My grandma had 8 with the help of a midwife and a doctor, at home, and had the last 2 at the hospital. Different times back then.
Thank you for sharing! I’m having twins in September and we already have a soon to be 8 y/o and a 4 y/o. We’re really excited! I loved your video and the wisdom that you share through them!
Congratulations!!! How exciting! I always wanted twins. I got as close as I could without actually carrying twins. My kids are now 21, 20, 19 and soon to be 18.
Hello Amy. Your birth stories were very interesting. Those beautiful children were born out of love. I really enjoyed watching your video. You did a great job so keep up the good work...........love and blessings
Enjoyed this video. It’s amazing how hard and painful that pregnancy is, but then God allows us to forget about that as soon as they are born. But then quickly remember when we get pregnant and deliver again. God is good!!!! Jentezen Franklin was born in Wilson, NC, about a half hour from where I live. Love listening and watching him. Have a GREAT weekend 😊❤️
My first baby was 9lbs 1oz..#7 was 12lbs and the doctor was so concerned for me..and said probably no more babies. We took her advice. I commend you for 10
@@Faiththememe not so incredible now..lol..uterus of steel but now it's prolapsing..the 12lb-er is almost 12yrs old and I guess it caught up to me. Looking at surgery next year to just have it removed.
Oh goodness I’m so sorry to hear that! I will be praying for you and your family. Surgery is not fun and I know us mommas have a really hard time with taking it easy after surgery; at least it is for me. God bless you!
It's very nice to know I'm not alone in naming a miscarried baby.. about 3 years ago I miscarried (at 9weeks) a fraternal triplet. In my heart I knew it was a boy, so I named him John Wayne, the name I had picked out for when we had our first boy... when we lost our identical twins later that pregnancy (at 24 weeks and then at 29 weeks) we named then with just as much love as ever. Alice and Zoey. 💜💜 thank you for sharing.
Amy I just watched this episode where you introduce all your children. I really enjoyed it. I know the younger 6 are in Florida with you. Please tell us what Ashlyn, Colin, Lauren and Evan are doing and where did they settle. I believe Ashlyn and Lauren are married and you are a Grandma. I finally understand what you say-got used to your speed and really enjoy your energy.
I’m glad you for the most part had great births with no real hard recoveries! One and done for me have a wonderful 9 yr old daughter! Had a horrible delivery 3rd degree tear then hemorrhaged so took over 2 months to heal and still have issues today from it. She was only 6lb 12oz but has her dads big head! My body just isn’t made to deliver babies so that was it for us!
We knew after #4 that our family was complete. Our kids are all at least 5 years apart, we wanted the babies to be able to be "the baby" for a good amount of time. I have a few friends that had their kids close in age, their adult children truly dislike each other and are still completing with each other. My kids though some years apart, all get along wonderfully. I'm a big believer in spacing them out.
Thank you sharing this.. we also wanted to know how u manage all the cost issues raising babies. Because us being average income family, it's hard to even think about two kids tuition and college expenses. It will be so great if u could share your experiences so we could imagine how to manage all things money wise.
I love all your videos! This one was just extra special, thank you for sharing your miscarriage stories. I gained weight after my third and last child. Was able to lose it but it creep back up. Once menopause hits we’re doomed!
Thanks for sharing! My mom had us 5 kids & she can't remember much, your stories were more detailed loll. We would ask her what day, weight, anything and she would laugh & say "I forgot ok!!" 🤣🤣 she remembers everything about mine cause I was her 1st & we could always check all this information on birth certificates ect.. but we wanted her to tell the stories like you but she would go blank a lot Haha. In her defense our ages are from 40- 26 so we aren't young as yours
Thank you for sharing...we only have three...ten pounds four ounces, nine pounds six ounces and nine pounds thirteen ounces...I however think that the head size makes a big difference. Fourteen inch head was so much harder to deliver. Have a blessed day!
My mom had 11 children. I was 3rd. She also had a miscarriage between #6 and #7. She never had issues giving birth. I was only blessed with one child. I can tell you, I would way rather grow up in a large family than to be an only child!!! You sure have raised a beautiful, loving family!
Funny how having them wasn’t that long Ago, and now your new chapter in life is happening. Kids getting married, and then one day grandchildren!!!! Now this is gonna be amazing! Your grand babies are gonna love you both so much! I can just see you with all these children just loving them as much if not more then your children now! 💜 big hugs to you Friend! 🌻💜
Could you talk about how you started your homeschool group? Hoping to start a group in my newtown. I'm looking forward to another curriculum video for next school year! That's how I originally found you!
Good Morning Amy. I praise Yah for this video. ( I hope you'll read this, I appreciate it)Yesterday my daughter who has 2 girls was appauled cuz I told her I didn't remember what time she was born. I have trouble remembering lots of these things. It's harder after so many pregnancies, I have had 8 children, 1 stillborn+ 2of my children have went home)miscarried 4, raised my 7( one passed at 18 months, the other died at 18 years) plus 4 step children and a grandchild. 12 in total. At 55 I'm still helping raise 7 grandchildren. I have them everyday till bedtime.My daughter was pegged to my side because I was on bed rest she was 6 weeks late and in terrible distress. Sorry I am so long winded, you have really became like a dear friend. I was feeling guilty about not remembering.
I am so sorry for the losses you have had. I lost my first daughter when I was 8 months pregnant. It was the hardest thing I've ever been through. I can't imagine what you have been through. May your sweet angels rest in peace! Xoxo 💋
@@christyinthecarolinas Sorry for your loss. Thank you for your caring words. God's grace is sufficient. I Praise Him everyday. Through these trials I have leaned in and found peace. His ways are perfect. I may not understand His thinking at first but through the loss I learned to hear Him. I have lived loss but have lived miracles. My youngest son was still born 15 minutes without breath and resurrected he's 23 and still very healthy. My son was born with a half a heart no left side and lived. Not everything in life is easy but it's all part if His plan, to develop in us His purpose. I pray your life is full of miracles as well and as you console me, you have learned to use your pain to uplift others. Thank you. God is good all the time( even the bad times) All the time God is good.
I've recently found out that I'm pregnant with baby #5, and my 4th baby is only 7 months old, so that was a total shock to be honest. It's the first time that I did not rejoice at the pregnancy news, but also being a christian I try to let it all in the hands of God, although I have to admit that I'm having a bit of a hard time with accepting the thought of going through everything again, especially considering that I already have a very little one. The thing that saddens me the most is that I have to stop breastfeeding earlier than I wanted, and I also feel that my milk supply is going down by the day. But anyway, your video gave me some hope and I hope we'll get through this alright and that one day I'll be able to look back and say that it was all worth it and it wasn't so bad. Thank you and God bless you and your family!
Hi Amy, it's really interesting to know the birth stories.... I'm pregnant with my second one right now..... And ur stories motivate me alot.... U are a stronge woman..... Love ur family and God bless❤❤👍👍
So the devil paid me a visit just now. I was like WHATTT, you can't remember the time, size and moment...GASP! The Lord bonked me on the head and said back off she's got 10 of em'! And yes I said devil go away!! I just adore you!! And after the bear I am scoping the land behind you..but just what will I do with that info. Blessings to you all, sweet Maryon family!!
Amy do you ever feel that the Lord filled Evan with all his glory for your young man to be so dedicated to the gospel? My heart is so full when I think of how your young man is soo inspiring. Blessings!
I have 3, 2 girls and a boy. Katelyn Annette. 8# 12 oz Ashlin Marie. 9# 12 1/2 oz Noah Mark. 8# 12 oz. Both my girls were born right on their due date, one minute after midnight my contractions started. My son, I was in labor for 3 days which ended up with an emergency C-section. I thank God every day for my 3 miracles.
I enjoyed this video. I admire your love of Jesus and I truly want to have more of him in my heart. I feel led to say I need to be able to store his scriptures in my mind. I am not emotionally a well person, due to many issues...cancer, previous abusive relationships and physcial abuse..I struggle with depression and anxiety and my memory just tends to shut off on its own will. I do know Jesus and he is absolutely the only way I am here. I just want to have a better relationship with him.
Thank you for your story. 🥰 We are expecting number 6 right now, it is to come in november. I hade as you, 5 years breake after the 4-th one. And att that time i have become Christian.🥰 I'm not shure if this is the last one for us, i leve it to Abba to decide💕 I love you my dear syster in Christ. God bless you and your family🙌
I was just going to ask you about your labours! I'm expecting #4 anyday now. I will be induced next week (38 weeks) if i cant get the natural remedies to work.
I only have 1, my daughter Ashley. When she was born I didn't know I was in labor. When I got to the hospital I was dialated to a 9.5. I got to the hospital at 5 pm and she was born at 7:33pm that same day. I only had about 4 or 5 hard labor pains and then she was here. We tried for years before we separated to have another baby but I had scar tissue from when Ashley was born (I had to go back in the hospital because of an infection) but we couldn't have anymore.
That was fun. I come from a family of 9 children (two mothers, mine passed when I was 4) and I LOVE big families. When you said your youngest is Stephen I thought oh, our oldest is Stephen. Then when you said Stephen Paul I almost jumped. That's our Stephen's name as well! We had 5 sons in 7 yrs. So when baby #4 came along we didn't have a name right away either and guess where I looked for names? Keepers at Home! Lol. It would be fun to sit and visit with you. I was very low with baby #5- extreme fatigue and hubby said no more. I was sad. No tube tying- just carefulness. I did get pregnant 3 times and lost them. Now at age 46 I'm pregnant again and they tell us we're having a girl. Ours have all been home births, easier and bigger each time. Last was 9 lbs, hour and a half labor, 16 days late. Not sure what to expect here 14 yrs later! :) If you look on my channel you can see our gender reveal with all the big brothers.
The body is amazing! How old were you with your first versus your last and do you think yiu were able to have more kids because you started early? It is so common to have children later in life now, but I’ve always wanted to know how it feels at different ages
I miscarried my first child, my little girl I named her Hope , I have a weeping cherry blossom in my garden for her and every year when it blossoms bright pink I know she’s smiling 💖💖💖
Love this ..a beautiful reminder

BEAUTIFUL BIRTH STORIES FOR A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. EACH ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN IS PERFECTION!!!

After much research, we attended a few informational meetings with various agencies, and then in August of 2007, we made an appointment with the agency we chose and began the process; they specialized in finding homes for babies and children in foster care. 13 months later we met our sweet, precious Kelsey and knew she was our child. The significance of the August 2007 time is that was when she was born, into a tragic and difficult situation. God knew she was ours, but gave us the time to prepare, and for her to heal, to bring us together as a a complete family. She is our bright light, our shining star, our true miracle. And I’m thankful every day for the gift of her life! One defining moment for me was during a visit with her pediatrician (who had been her doctor since birth) when the doctor’s eyes filled with tears. She said to me, “this baby is truly a miracle, but even more so, I can’t imagine what her life would have been if it wasn’t for you.” Her health was still somewhat fragile, but her mind was so sharp. She amazes us all, but particularly as a toddler because she didn’t talk but would lay out pictures and then letters to spell words, before she was 3 years old. I have always worked full time (until recently) so we put her in public school, but I’ve always supplemented her learning at home. When she was first tested for kindergarten, they stopped the reading level test at the 3rd grade level because they said it really wasn’t necessary to go on. She was still struggling with other issues, and as an August baby is always one of the youngest children in her peer group, so for her social and emotional development, we have kept her on grade level. She is, however, taking higher level courses in school, but we never want to stress her out or cause her to feel additional pressure to perform up to anyone’s expectations but God’s. And she has such a sweet and kind heart, always willing to lend a hand or be quietly soothing to those in need.🙏💕
And our family has continued to grow; Lauren was 23 when Kelsey was born, the same age I was when she was born. One year after Kelsey came into our family, Lauren moved out west, found love, married, but then thankfully moved back to VA (where we live) when they were expecting my first grand baby. Kelsey became Auntie Kelsey soon after her 7th birthday and now has 2 nieces and a nephew. At 13, she’s a great blessing to us all, and the best Auntie to the little ones.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story 😊
Thank u for sharing your story I sure enjoyed it. God Bless 💖🌹💕
Hi Amy, I really enjoyed you telling us all about your birth stories, you are such an inspiration x
Thank u for your words ❤️
I love how you have your children's names in the introduction. Thanks. Love following your family and your you tube.
Thanks for sharing. I have 7 myself. All grown and blessing me with grandbabies. I remember looking at my babies and thinking wow all this was inside. Children are such a blessing. My youngest daughter was a suprise.. Had an ultra sound done and it was a boy. Lol well sometime between 5 and 9 months he lost something and was born a girl lol. Poor girl she didnt have a name for 2 days and she wore blue diapers for so long. Blessings to you and your family as well as to every thing you do.
Wonderful stories. I hope you don’t think us intrusive when we want to know more about your life.
Thank you, as always for sharing ❤️
curious I would say:)
Thank you for sharing this. Love you and your family. God Bless
Enjoying listening to your story God bless you
Just on time. I was so looking forward to this, my due date is tomorrow. 🥰 Thanks for sharing your experiences. God bless! x
Congratulations. Pick a verse to recite during your labour. Something that keeps you calm relaxed and empowered. His word is powerful.
You are gonna do great!!
Aww CONGRATULATIONS!!! Enjoy that baby. Time flies bye. Soak up every minute. Sending lots of love and prayers for a safe and easy delivery! Xoxo 💋
Awwe! Congratulations!
Beautiful story ❤️ Thank you Mumma for sharing. Our first was premmie and 3lbs (super tiny) and I agree was easier than the rest. We lost our 7th baby in November last year at 12weeks we named him Evermoore. God has now blessed us again and I'm now 23 weeks along with our 8th baby due in September :) last 6 babies are back to back one after another. Must admit I wouldn't change it for the world.
Much love from Hampshire UK ❤️
I have 8 too, just had twins.
@@mamatimesseven5269 Awww beautiful. Huge congratulations :) x
Oh wow! God has truly blessed you momma! I will be praying for you and that baby in your tummy.
Loved your stories, especially the part about the epidurals and the "hospital vacations", LoL! I had four but they're all grown up, now. Too many new Mommies think you have to do childbirth "perfectly" which is sad that they put so much on themselves.
Amy Maryon, I love how you trust God in everything. God is awesome. May He bless you and your precious family.♡🕊️
Oh my gosh Amy I’m supposed to have a child who would be almost 16 also ..It was a horrible situation, tubal pregnancy, they said I almost died , at the time I wanted too I felt that I didn’t want to live without that baby ..Thsnkful to God that he got me through and helped me go on. The experience was awful the Dr actually said to me that the baby had been big - when they took the tube out because it was bursting , my whole family thought that was a horrible thing to say to a grieving mom.. I always tell the kids they have a brother we will see one day.
My grandma had 10 here in Belgium during the war era. 6 girls and 4 boys. She lost her first born (a girl) to an unnecessary surgery it later turned out, and a second girl to a bad case of the flu, both children lost in early infancy. I mean, there will always be 10. Even though only 4 boys and 4 girls got to be adults. My mom is the eldest (living) girl, inherited the first girl's name and is currently 75 years old. 2 more died as older adults (one man, one woman), and the ones that are left now come together with their husbands and wives for Christmas every year. Last year they didn't get to, with Covid, but they are all doing great. Loved this video, Amy. Loved listening to you talk of your babies and deliveries. My grandma had 8 with the help of a midwife and a doctor, at home, and had the last 2 at the hospital. Different times back then.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing! I’m having twins in September and we already have a soon to be 8 y/o and a 4 y/o. We’re really excited! I loved your video and the wisdom that you share through them!
Congratulations!!! How exciting! I always wanted twins. I got as close as I could without actually carrying twins. My kids are now 21, 20, 19 and soon to be 18.
Christy In The Carolina's I always said my girls are twins just 3.5 years apart😁. You were a busy mama when they were younger!!!
Hello Amy. Your birth stories were very interesting. Those beautiful children were born out of love. I really enjoyed watching your video. You did a great job so keep up the good work...........love and blessings
You are a very very strong woman. You had no help and had ten. I have help and I scared to have more than one.
Don't let fear rule your life. Enjoy:)
I have been wanting to hear this forever now. I am so excited.
I'm glad i did it:)
Thanks for sharing Amy!!!!!
Enjoyed this video. It’s amazing how hard and painful that pregnancy is, but then God allows us to forget about that as soon as they are born. But then quickly remember when we get pregnant and deliver again. God is good!!!! Jentezen Franklin was born in Wilson, NC, about a half hour from where I live. Love listening and watching him. Have a GREAT weekend 😊❤️
That is wonderful! Thanks for watching
Wonderful birthday stories.
Thank you for sharing the births of your beautiful children. I believe, also, it was Gods plan for you and your husband.
It was and is wonderful that u had all those babies
It is :)
I’m pregnant with my third and I’ve been looking for some kind of inspiration
My first baby was 9lbs 1oz..#7 was 12lbs and the doctor was so concerned for me..and said probably no more babies. We took her advice. I commend you for 10
12lbs?!? Wow! That’s incredible! God bless you momma!
@@Faiththememe not so incredible now..lol..uterus of steel but now it's prolapsing..the 12lb-er is almost 12yrs old and I guess it caught up to me. Looking at surgery next year to just have it removed.
Oh goodness I’m so sorry to hear that! I will be praying for you and your family. Surgery is not fun and I know us mommas have a really hard time with taking it easy after surgery; at least it is for me. God bless you!
@@Faiththememe thank you :)
It's very nice to know I'm not alone in naming a miscarried baby.. about 3 years ago I miscarried (at 9weeks) a fraternal triplet. In my heart I knew it was a boy, so I named him John Wayne, the name I had picked out for when we had our first boy... when we lost our identical twins later that pregnancy (at 24 weeks and then at 29 weeks) we named then with just as much love as ever. Alice and Zoey. 💜💜 thank you for sharing.
Amy I just watched this episode where you introduce all your children. I really enjoyed it. I know the younger 6 are in Florida with you. Please tell us what Ashlyn, Colin, Lauren and Evan are doing and where did they settle. I believe Ashlyn and Lauren are married and you are a Grandma. I finally understand what you say-got used to your speed and really enjoy your energy.
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Amy thank you for sharing. I love listening to you. LOL 💗🤶
I didn't realize all of the names ended with the letter n. Precious gifts. Have a blessed night.
I’m glad you for the most part had great births with no real hard recoveries! One and done for me have a wonderful 9 yr old daughter! Had a horrible delivery 3rd degree tear then hemorrhaged so took over 2 months to heal and still have issues today from it. She was only 6lb 12oz but has her dads big head! My body just isn’t made to deliver babies so that was it for us!
Keepers at home magazine? That sounds like a good one! Haven’t heard of it and can’t seem to find it online.
No they are a Mennonite based group. No online
We knew after #4 that our family was complete. Our kids are all at least 5 years apart, we wanted the babies to be able to be "the baby" for a good amount of time. I have a few friends that had their kids close in age, their adult children truly dislike each other and are still completing with each other. My kids though some years apart, all get along wonderfully. I'm a big believer in spacing them out.
Thank you sharing this.. we also wanted to know how u manage all the cost issues raising babies. Because us being average income family, it's hard to even think about two kids tuition and college expenses. It will be so great if u could share your experiences so we could imagine how to manage all things money wise.
I can never remember the times or weights of the births of my boys. 😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one!
I love all your videos! This one was just extra special, thank you for sharing your miscarriage stories. I gained weight after my third and last child. Was able to lose it but it creep back up. Once menopause hits we’re doomed!
Thanks for sharing! My mom had us 5 kids & she can't remember much, your stories were more detailed loll. We would ask her what day, weight, anything and she would laugh & say "I forgot ok!!" 🤣🤣 she remembers everything about mine cause I was her 1st & we could always check all this information on birth certificates ect.. but we wanted her to tell the stories like you but she would go blank a lot Haha. In her defense our ages are from 40- 26 so we aren't young as yours
Ashlynn is the name I want for my daughter whenever I have kids. Lynn is my dad's middle name so I've always thought of I like that name.
My paternal grandma had 10 kids, she had 3 sets of twins! My Dad weighed 12 lbs!!!
Thank you for sharing...we only have three...ten pounds four ounces, nine pounds six ounces and nine pounds thirteen ounces...I however think that the head size makes a big difference. Fourteen inch head was so much harder to deliver. Have a blessed day!
Agreed!!! Lol
Children are a great gift from God they are a blessing...😊
My mom had 11 children. I was 3rd. She also had a miscarriage between #6 and #7. She never had issues giving birth. I was only blessed with one child. I can tell you, I would way rather grow up in a large family than to be an only child!!! You sure have raised a beautiful, loving family!
Thank you for sharing this ♥️
Funny how having them wasn’t that long Ago, and now your new chapter in life is happening. Kids getting married, and then one day grandchildren!!!! Now this is gonna be amazing! Your grand babies are gonna love you both so much! I can just see you with all these children just loving them as much if not more then your children now! 💜 big hugs to you Friend! 🌻💜
Could you talk about how you started your homeschool group? Hoping to start a group in my newtown. I'm looking forward to another curriculum video for next school year! That's how I originally found you!
I appreciate the ideas I definitely will do a video here soon, thank you
thank you for sharing
Good Morning Amy. I praise Yah for this video. ( I hope you'll read this, I appreciate it)Yesterday my daughter who has 2 girls was appauled cuz I told her I didn't remember what time she was born. I have trouble remembering lots of these things. It's harder after so many pregnancies, I have had 8 children, 1 stillborn+ 2of my children have went home)miscarried 4, raised my 7( one passed at 18 months, the other died at 18 years) plus 4 step children and a grandchild. 12 in total. At 55 I'm still helping raise 7 grandchildren. I have them everyday till bedtime.My daughter was pegged to my side because I was on bed rest she was 6 weeks late and in terrible distress. Sorry I am so long winded, you have really became like a dear friend. I was feeling guilty about not remembering.
I am so sorry for the losses you have had. I lost my first daughter when I was 8 months pregnant. It was the hardest thing I've ever been through. I can't imagine what you have been through. May your sweet angels rest in peace! Xoxo 💋
@@christyinthecarolinas Sorry for your loss. Thank you for your caring words. God's grace is sufficient. I Praise Him everyday. Through these trials I have leaned in and found peace. His ways are perfect. I may not understand His thinking at first but through the loss I learned to hear Him. I have lived loss but have lived miracles. My youngest son was still born 15 minutes without breath and resurrected he's 23 and still very healthy. My son was born with a half a heart no left side and lived. Not everything in life is easy but it's all part if His plan, to develop in us His purpose. I pray your life is full of miracles as well and as you console me, you have learned to use your pain to uplift others. Thank you. God is good all the time( even the bad times) All the time God is good.
@@kristinasearer4246 That He is!
I've recently found out that I'm pregnant with baby #5, and my 4th baby is only 7 months old, so that was a total shock to be honest. It's the first time that I did not rejoice at the pregnancy news, but also being a christian I try to let it all in the hands of God, although I have to admit that I'm having a bit of a hard time with accepting the thought of going through everything again, especially considering that I already have a very little one. The thing that saddens me the most is that I have to stop breastfeeding earlier than I wanted, and I also feel that my milk supply is going down by the day. But anyway, your video gave me some hope and I hope we'll get through this alright and that one day I'll be able to look back and say that it was all worth it and it wasn't so bad. Thank you and God bless you and your family!
No taxes 🤷🏽♀️ that’s a HUGE plus
Hi Amy, it's really interesting to know the birth stories.... I'm pregnant with my second one right now..... And ur stories motivate me alot.... U are a stronge woman..... Love ur family and God bless❤❤👍👍
I thank you. My first glance i thought it said strange woman. ...lol. Yes I am that too:)
@@amymaryon u are very stronge and smiling woman..... U inspire me alot... ❤❤
So the devil paid me a visit just now. I was like WHATTT, you can't remember the time, size and moment...GASP! The Lord bonked me on the head and said back off she's got 10 of em'! And yes I said devil go away!! I just adore you!! And after the bear I am scoping the land behind you..but just what will I do with that info. Blessings to you all, sweet Maryon family!!
Amy do you ever feel that the Lord filled Evan with all his glory for your young man to be so dedicated to the gospel? My heart is so full when I think of how your young man is soo inspiring. Blessings!
I do:)
Who else was searching the woods for a bear whilst Amy was chatting? Lol
I sure was lol
I have 3, 2 girls and a boy.
Katelyn Annette. 8# 12 oz
Ashlin Marie. 9# 12 1/2 oz
Noah Mark. 8# 12 oz.
Both my girls were born right on their due date, one minute after midnight my contractions started.
My son, I was in labor for 3 days which ended up with an emergency C-section. I thank God every day for my 3 miracles.
I enjoyed this video. I admire your love of Jesus and I truly want to have more of him in my heart. I feel led to say I need to be able to store his scriptures in my mind. I am not emotionally a well person, due to many issues...cancer, previous abusive relationships and physcial abuse..I struggle with depression and anxiety and my memory just tends to shut off on its own will. I do know Jesus and he is absolutely the only way I am here. I just want to have a better relationship with him.

Congrats to you! It will be great
My mom has 4 girls and each baby got bigger
I was 6lbs 4oz
Lyndsey 8lbs
Amy 9lbs 7oz
Sarah was 10lbs 3oz
Only a few min in so my question could get answered but incase it doesnt .. would you have any more kids ? Adopt or foster or anything ?
If the Lord leads then yes
Brooklynn and I have the same birthday 🙂
your honest about it
I only have 1, my daughter Ashley. When she was born I didn't know I was in labor. When I got to the hospital I was dialated to a 9.5. I got to the hospital at 5 pm and she was born at 7:33pm that same day. I only had about 4 or 5 hard labor pains and then she was here. We tried for years before we separated to have another baby but I had scar tissue from when Ashley was born (I had to go back in the hospital because of an infection) but we couldn't have anymore.
Thanks for sharing your baby story! Are you Pentecostal?
Yes
Great video
My son was 9lb 6oz so I know how you feel 😂 Talk about the ring of fire 🔥
My 7th and 8th babies (twins) were 10.1 and 10.7 and omg did that burn lol...yikes! They were both double the size of "average" twins.
That was fun. I come from a family of 9 children (two mothers, mine passed when I was 4) and I LOVE big families. When you said your youngest is Stephen I thought oh, our oldest is Stephen. Then when you said Stephen Paul I almost jumped. That's our Stephen's name as well! We had 5 sons in 7 yrs. So when baby #4 came along we didn't have a name right away either and guess where I looked for names? Keepers at Home! Lol. It would be fun to sit and visit with you. I was very low with baby #5- extreme fatigue and hubby said no more. I was sad. No tube tying- just carefulness. I did get pregnant 3 times and lost them. Now at age 46 I'm pregnant again and they tell us we're having a girl. Ours have all been home births, easier and bigger each time. Last was 9 lbs, hour and a half labor, 16 days late. Not sure what to expect here 14 yrs later! :) If you look on my channel you can see our gender reveal with all the big brothers.
Thank you for sharing. I will do that :)
The body is amazing! How old were you with your first versus your last and do you think yiu were able to have more kids because you started early? It is so common to have children later in life now, but I’ve always wanted to know how it feels at different ages
