Elias Birth Story

It’s a boy!

This is the birth story of Elias.

Abbey and Jordan's journey to welcome their second son, Elias James, was a stark contract to the challenging experience they faced with their first son. After a long and exhausting five-hour pushing phase during their first birth, Abbey was determined and praying hard for a more positive, redemptive experience this time. They chose to labor at home throughout the day, feeling more comfortable and in control of the process. When they arrived at the hospital, the use of a TENS unit proved invaluable, helping Abbey manage her pain effectively and allowing her to focus on the moment. With the support of her husband Jordan, her doula and the nurses, who provided comfort measures and constant reassurance, Abbey felt empowered and ready to embrace the joy of bringing Elias James into the world. Though their regular doctor was unavailable, another skilled physician stepped in to assist with the delivery, ensuring that everything went smoothly, and Elias arrived after 5 minutes of pushing!!!

Welcome to the world, little Elias!!
