    You finally popped back up! I searched for you a couple times but assumed you took a social media hiatus like we all did 😅 I followed your pregnancy with Azariah and a little afterwards. I suffered 2 miscarriages in the time I was away from the socials. I then went on to have twin boys. I was absolutely certain I was having 2 girls so when I was staring at an email that said "2 boys!" I was floored 😂 I had ZERO names in mind. I searched thousands of names but your sons name was on my list from the start (not the first, but never taken off the list once it was on). I told my fiance your story and though he was in awe, he said it didn't fit our family, which was okay ❤ we used different names, but just a little story of something that involved you 😅❤ I'm happy you have been well!!!! Much love

    SUCH a beautiful video and the pictures Anna took are stunning! Finding the holy in the hard is such a valuable skill/mindset to have. You are wise beyond your years, Lexie! Thank you for sharing BOTH your birth stories!

    The lord blesses me so often that I would be here all year trying to finish, but one recent blessing was watching my sister get baptized in Jordan River in Jerusalem the days before yesterday. It was such a sacred & spiritual experience. ✝️💜

    Thank you so much for sharing your testimony about your second birth. You said so many things I needed to hear.
    Though I am not pregnant, I am a mother of two. An almost 3 year old special needs girl and a 10 month old boy.
    I have Chiari Malformation, but was able to have a natural unmedicated birth with my 10 month old and I thank GOD for that experience, even though it wasn't easy. I had several people praying over me during that time and I know GOD was there.
    Right now I am in a season of fear for my daughter, Cory. We just received the results of genetic testing that we have been waiting on for 14 weeks.
    The results show that she has Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome and Corneal Dystraphy, Fuchs Endothelial.
    I know I should have faith that GOD has it all under control, and I myself have preached that to others, but when it's your own child or someone you love, it's hard... I still appreciate those who remind me to trust and believe in GOD'S promises.
    GOD has given my mother several dreams of my daughter walking and talking, which are two things she doesn't do right now.
    She can say a couple words, but express herself in a way that I understand since I'm worth her all of the time.
    Cory cannot walk yet. She can stand with support, but her balance and coordination is off.
    I wish I could show you what I mean when I tell you that she is one of the happiest toddlers you will ever meet. Her brother is the same and I tell everyone, GOD knew I needed two happy babies, because if I didn't have that, this would be so much harder.
    I know this is getting long, but I feel lead to share all of this. 😅
    We are from Southern Ohio. Jackson, OH to be exact. We go to a non-denominational church that we absolutely love!
    We believe in the power of prayer and healing.
    I can't help but tear up as I type this, because no one can tell me that my GOD isn't real, that He doesn't love us and that He doesn't still do miracles today.
    Since we really started noticing Cory's delays, GOD has been there.
    He has lead me several times to take her to the alter for prayer. And LET ME TELL YOU... it has always been the next day or a few days later, Cory did something new that she never did before! 🥲
    I wish I could tell you my girl's whole story, but I would fill up this whole page. Lol
    GOD is good and He is still working in the world today! My family is living proof ❤

      Thank you so much for sharing and proclaiming God’s faithfulness and love in hard times ❤ I couldn’t help but tear up reading your comment because of the clear love you have for the Lord. I have a four year old daughter that isn’t talking yet and it’s been hard at times to stay hopeful.
      For the first couple years of her life I kept telling myself it was just a small delay that she could easily come back from but as more time passed with little change and as the delay became more and more obvious I noticed doubt and blame (of myself) starting to take root.
      My husband and I both love the Lord and are blessed to have a wonderful church home where we hear the truth of God’s word week in and week out from a called man of God-something I am beyond thankful for, especially in this day and time.
      And, even so, it hasn’t been easy. But, what I can say is that although this has been the hardest season of my life, I can’t help but thank God for his mercy and long suffering with me as he continues to mold me on his potter’s wheel. I always prayed for the Lord to help me fully surrender to Him and while it hasn’t happened overnight he continues to draw me closer and closer to him in this season to the point where, like you, I KNOW he is in control and will use this situation for HIS glory 🙏🏼
      I don’t know what the future holds but I know God CAN heal our daughters and as his word promises-restore the time. I always go back to the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego when confronted by Nebuchadnezzar to worship the golden image or be thrown into the firery furnace their response was-we know our God has the power to deliver us but even if he doesn’t we KNOW that HE CAN. That’s where I pray the Lord gets me with my faith.
      There is nothing too hard for the Lord todo ❤

    Thank you for your heartfelt, honest video! We battled in fertility for 11 years and adopted our two boys and then we were blessed with a miracle baby that we got to have biologically. They are now 7, 6 and four, and then I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and through that time, just what you said when you lean into him and trust him, it is a much easier journey to walk when you have the Lord on your side. Thanks for your words.

    Lexie!!! This was really neat to see you have the birth you prayed for ❤ I love watching homebirth videos. I've been watching y'alls story since you were pregnant with Azariah. So happy for y'all!
    I personally was planning and praying for a homebirth... baby and I were completely healthy all through pregnancy. Long story short, after multiple days of laboring at home I went to the hospital and had an emergency c-section to bring our very sweet & healthy(but big & stuck) baby into the world. It's been almost 4 months and I still struggle when I think about all that happened and how it wasn't the birth I had been dreaming of. It's frustrating to think of the interventions we dealt with and things that I feel I/ baby missed out on. I'd appreciate prayer for mental and emotional healing from things I went through if you read this. We're still praying that our next birth will be different, more peaceful, and in our home

    “It doesn’t have to be easy to be positive”
    His yoke is easy and burden is light. There is still a burden and still a yolk to bear, but with Christ it is LIGHT. Congrats. ❤️

    My birth story was very very very similar to yours!! My husband and I experienced 1 year of infertility leading up to that birth of our son and it was very redemptive after a long very trying year. Getting to have a completely unmediated home birth was such a blessing from the Lord and really showed me again of his steadfast love and how much I grew in the difficult year of trying with “no, not yet” being the answer. God always knows best and he really showed me that again during that time for my husband and I. Love your heard and your videos!💖

    I have followed your journey since you were pregnant with Azariah and I’ve had 3 hospital births and I’m currently pregnant with my 4th and my most intense birth was with my third. I went completely unmedicated but I was still given pitocin because my water had broken to start my labor and then my contractions stalled out. Once I was given pitocin, I delivered within about 3 hours and I only pushed for about 20 mins. I am so happy for you that you finally had the pregnancy and birth experience you wanted to have with Azariah.
    My 3rd pregnancy was my hardest medically because I had a sub-chorionic hematoma/hemorrhage at 11 weeks. And then I had high fluid levels for the last 8ish weeks of my pregnancy. I was just short of 39 weeks when my water broke so I had to get to the hospital quickly to make sure baby was okay and tolerating the extra fluid okay. God showed me that no matter what scary things happen during pregnancy, He has a hold of the baby and He will protect them no matter what. Our baby was born with a strong set of lungs weighing 7 pounds, 9 ounces and 21 and 1/4 inches long. And she is a chunky 8 month old. She was born within a week or 2 of Kai. Again, I am so happy for you and Craig.

    Just because it was hard, doesn’t mean it was bad. Amen! Well said. Congratulations on your beautiful story. This past Feb I suffered a miscarriage due to a partial molar pregnancy. As a result I had a rare cancer called GTN. Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia. I am blessed that after a month of chemo, I am cancer free. Healing has not been easy, but The Lord led me through it. I held onto my faith because it was the only thing that made sense to me. It was thee only thing that truly healed me. I shared in the sufferings of Christ to be in the likeness of him. I encourage you to read Philippians 3:8-11. It spoke wonders to me. God bless!

      Usually not. Midwives are trained to take care of mom and baby after wards, including any tears

    Lexie I wish we could talk in real life and just share stories and all. But I will say you and I have very similar stories except it was my second that was born with a birth defect. My labor with my oldest was induced and I knew I never wanted to be in a hospital to birth again. My second was at home and much better but both of them were back labor, however we had to transfer unfortunately to the NICU because he was struggling. Anyways I really wanted the Lord to redeem that and for us to have the birth I had dreamed of when I had my 3rd, which we did, and she was my first baby girl too. 💜 I know you said in the other video that you thought both of your boys were a girl and I was the exact same way! We didn’t find out with our daughter and I can promise you it was the BEST surprise ever when we saw she was a girl. 🥹 now I’m pregnant with my 4th and interested to see what this will be like. There’s a lot I would still love to see the Lord redeem for us and to experience this time. With my others I felt like I had clear words on what the Lord was speaking to me about them but I’ve only had one this time and mostly it’s felt like God is just more quiet. I wish we could talk about your thoughts on that. Also almost everyone I know (including me) had a really colicky 2nd baby so I just want to encourage you that that can be redeemed if you have another too. 💜 I hope you guys are doing well now and you’re seeing more and more of God’s love as you raise those 2 precious boys. 💜💜💜
