First Light Midwife: August 2009
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. Again, and Blessed. After seven months of no baby-catching, I finally got to do again! And I guess it's like riding a bicycle; I didn't forget how to do it, which I'm sure is a comfort to the parents of this wonderful new little boy. And it was a deep pleasure for me to watch what few nurses and doctors get to see - a completely natural birth. But that's another story. A little before 6 pm, Beulah said she had felt quite a bit of pressure with the last contraction. So I did a...

First Light Midwife: January 2011
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 8, 2011. Ma, Lookee What I Made! Ok, this is a first for me. I have a dear friend, Suzan, who asked me to make her a Yarmulke. I don't know if any of you out there have ever looked for patterns for knitting one of those, but they're few and far between, even with Google and the internet. As I got some length on the hat, I realized I wouldn't after all have enough yarn to finish a proper hat with it! And I'm so proud of how it turned out! I hope you like it! This particular hat was knit ...

First Light Midwife: January 2009
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2009. But this morning as I wrote in my journal, I realized that this may be my purpose in life right now. And what a waste, if I don't realize the purpose! And what a lack of obedience it is, this being careful. Being careful has its merits, but not when being careful means you deafen your ear to God's Spirit. So I said yes. I will allow God to move me where He will. And I will consciously be an Ambassador of the Man of Promise wherever I go. Monday, January 19, 2009. Now is the mi...

First Light Midwife: June 2010
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 9, 2010. Trip to Lebanon in pictures. Today I don't have anything on my main "to do" list. No one is coming, I don't have to get groceries, and I don't have to go anywhere else (except the bank, and that chore will be short). So you will get the update with pictures that you've been waiting for. Hope you like it. If not, then it's from. The Fellowship of the Ring. I loved that he and I went together on this adventure. We spent the next week seeing the sights of Lebanon. First we went ...

First Light Midwife: Jackie's Better
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2010/05/jackies-better.html
Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Better than what, you may ask? Better than he was yesterday. He had a bad stomach flu or virus or food poisoning. Anyway, it hit him on Monday night during a prayer time we were having with our friends. And he spent all night miserable, then the next day (yesterday), in bed all day. Yuck! We came on home for lunch and fixed Mexican food! I brought some tortillas with me and we had tacos, and I fixed some Mexican rice, too. Jason and Sarah loved it, and so did we! Playing at the p...

First Light Midwife: December 2008
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. Back Home and Pictures of the Trip. I am back home, since four days ago. Last night I went to bed before 8 pm and slept like a log until 12 midnight. Then I dozed off and on until 5:30 am I hope to be back to normal soon. Tuesday, I saw my client who is due next. She and her family are doing well. In the meantime, I'm studying my plane ticket to Lebanon for February 5. Maybe I should enjoy Christmas first. This is the first glimpse I had on the island. When you come back?

First Light Midwife: Lebanese doings
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2010/05/lebanese-doings.html
Sunday, May 9, 2010. Today we went to see the cedars of Lebanon. Jackie says that ranks right up there with the Great Wall of China and Mt. Rushmore. It was an all-day trip, sort of. We started out around 11:30 after a breakfast of Belgian waffles and fresh strawberries and cream, or peanut butter and maple syrup. The trip to the cedar reserve was north and east of Saida, the old-time Bible town of Sidon. The old cedars are amazing. We got some pictures, but they don't do the trees justice.

First Light Midwife: Jenna...
http://firstlightmidwife.blogspot.com/2010/05/jenna.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Jenna made her entrance into this world this morning Lebanon time at 6:14 am. Her mom went into labor at 1:30 am, so it was a perfect labor - not too long, not too short. She was born at home! She weighs 8 lbs. 10 oz and is 21 3/4 inches long. Mom and baby and Daddy are resting, and Jude is with some friends, playing. Jackie is helping some people move into a new apartment, and I'm going to go lie down, like the Kerners. Everyone is very, very happy that Jenna is here!
