Peter Allen

God blessed Joshua and Amy again with another child. They were not only very surprised, but also excited because the two boys were going to be growing up together (being only 14 months apart). The first few months were filled with morning sickness again and doctor's appointments. Joshua and Amy wanted to go with a midwife this time, since their hospital experience was not the greatest, but God had other plans. They did not have the money, so it was decided to going through the insurance. The Lord blessed them with a doctor that was willing to work with us. On April 14, 2008, Amy went to the doctor's for a normal check-up. Amy's doctor said that she was having practice contractions. After Joshua and Amy left, Amy did not think about the pain and went about as normal. Even when the pain became more intense she did not think she was in labor. About 7:30 pm, the pain became worse. Amy's mom offered to keep Paul for them, so that they could sleep. Joshua ended up calling Amy's mom and the doctor about 3:00 am. The doctor said that Amy had nothing to worry about and it was not time to go to the hospital. When it was finally time to go to the hospital and Joshua helped Amy prepare to go, as they headed towards the bathroom Amy had one more contraction and gave one more push and had Peter on the bathroom floor of their apartment. God was good. Peter and Amy were both okay. Joshua and Amy feel very blessed that God gave them two sons to take care of and raise.
