Zephan's Birth

Dear Claudette,

It's been a while since you helped me give birth to Zephan, and I wanted to finally take the time to thank you for how you served God and pointed us toward God whenever we were worried about the pregnancy or the health of the baby after birth. Because of your encouraging us to pray, we did seek God's direction for this birth, and did experience God's peace.

I look back on Zephan's birth with a lot of joy that I had a peaceful birth. You arrived in time to take precautions against Strep B, encouraging me that the baby was about to come out, and also helping me switch positions to help him come out quickly and efficiently. Yet, I still know that "I did it", and that God game me a smooth birth and healthy baby, with the help of your expertise. Thank you for serving Him boldly, so that women like me, who want a VBAC, have a chance of a peaceful birth.

I also appreciated how you took care of us after the birth, driving all the way down to Sunnyvale several times to check on us and examine us. Because of that, I could relax more, knowing the baby and I were both well.

Zephan's home birth is so precious to me. The entire process of being pregnant and giving birth to him was a BIG lesson in walking by faith in God, trusting Him, not the things of the world. Thanks for always reminding us to trust God. You were definitely the Lord's instrument.

Gratefully,
Tenny
