The alarm will go off in about 45 minutes. I've slept an hour & a half solid. Not too bad I guess. I never sleep well the night before. Never really have. Too nervous.
I know that God has Bitsy & me in the palm of his hand. I know that he has numbered the hairs on our heads. I know there is nothing to fear. Someone needs to explain all I know to my stomach so it will know there's no need to churn.
I want to thank you all for your kind words, well wishes, and most of all, for your prayers. Prayer is what is keeping me afloat at the moment. You may never know what it means to me...but then some of you may understand it perfectly (Grace...Ang...Nan). Regardless I want to thank you & let you know that you are all a very real part of what is happening today.
For the next few days you'll need to check out The Queen Mother's Petite Realm for updates on Bitsy & Me. I'm not sure how soon or how often she'll get to post, but she'll try...it's not easy taking care of my brood & that's her full time job for the next few days.
I should be home on Friday, but I'm not sure when the computer chair and I will be friends again. So until then, May the Lord bless you & Keep you.
With Love,
Your FarmWife

I can't wait to hear about Bitsy's arrival in the world. You know I'm always reading even if I'm not commentnig - and thinking of you!
You will do fine in the hospital's quiet (though I barely stayed 24 hours after Pumpkin was born - couldn't stand it - I missed my Princess!). Take advantage of having the staff helping you out - and get rest if you can (what am I saying, you know all this?!).
Hugs!
Grandpa and Grandma M&M sent me an email today. They let me know that Bitsy is 6 pounds, 3 ounces, and 19 inches long. Mother and baby are doing well, according to Farmwife's dad (aka Pa). They got the call about Bitsy's arrival at 7:45 a.m., so she was born early. Poor baby. I can't imagine getting kicked out of my cozy bed that early in the morning on purpose. =)
Anyway, here's hoping your readers look at the comment and are able to rest assured that you both are okay.
Thank you so much, Inkling, for letting us know the latest about the new arrival. I'm glad Farmwife didn't have to wait long. That waiting can be so hard. I'm so thankful that everything went well.
Thanks, Inkling!!! You ROCK!! Congrats Farm Family!!! I have been thinking about you guys all morning. God Bless!
Awwww! I am so glad Inkling posted an update. I was praying for you guys this morning. CONGRATS!!!! I can not wait to hear more when you get home. Wishing you all the best and a quick and easy recovery.
Oh and by the way welcome to your first day as a mommy to 4.....now we really are on the same level! I can not wait to hear your stories of how you balance it all...I am sure you will do better than I am. :)

Congrates to you and the Farm Family. Hope to hear from you soon. Now get some rest.
Thank You Inkling! And Well Done Farm Wife & Bitsy. Here's wishing you both health & happiness forever. S xxxxxxx
Isn't it weird that there was someone on the other side of the world in Western Australia thinking "Farmwife should've had Bitsy by now!" Congrats! Don't forget to bring home all the free stuff you can.
