The Birth Story of London Everleigh {Part Three}

In parts one and two, I shared how London Everleigh arrived via planned homebirth with a midwife. It's an amazing story (to me) of waiting on God, learning to trust Him more and more and having the courage to bring her into this world the way I had planned and get to experience it.
