Our BIRTH Story || Induced at 38 Weeks

We are so excited to finally share our little Ryker’s birth story. We went in to get induced at 38 weeks. And then little Ryker joined the family at midnight on the 12th. We are so thankful for a healthy baby and a smooth birth.
We can’t wait to share more of us first meeting Ryker🤍✨
Thank you so much for watching!

I love how Momma B Is at all the births and how she gives her seasoned advice yet understands that each lady is different and so considerate of their needs and wishes! Also I was in tears watching Lydia’s sweet momma love on her daughter, breaks my heart what their family is facing in a time that should be nothing but joyous, praying God makes a way for the Romeikes to stay in the US.

[@loraleepooley3669]

What is the family facing?

[@MomRd2Me]

@@loraleepooley3669, they are all facing possible deportation 😢

[@Pixiegirl1280]

Deportation back to Germany and that includes Lydia

[@debrawitt2591]

There shouldn't even be an issue with her family staying in the US! Considering what's going on at the border. This was beautiful & can't wait til next video. But Trace, why didn't you watch?

[@debrawitt2591]

​@loraleepooley3669 he posted a video about it & attached a couple links to see their story.

Watching Lydia’s Mom with her made me cry. Josie you are such a good friend. Mama Bates always supportive and helpful. Trace you are a gift to Lydia

You all made this 64 years old grandma cry how beautiful it is to see trace there just supporting you I love it .can't wait for next week

Mrs. Bates ("Momma B") you have such a tender, thoughtful heart. You remind me so much of my own Mum. And Dear Lydia, bless you and your precious little family of three. Please know that I support you and your family in prayer over the pending deportation situation. I am so sorry that you have all been through so much. I signed the petition the moment it was available. Many blessings to you.

[@famservingyah765]

Congratulations!! I love the sound of a baby's first cry - it's precious! For future reference, induced labor with pitocin and your water broken is SO much worse than natural. So don't let this set your mind for how it always has to be.

[@user-nx4lc9pf5j]

It's true! I had one of each and my natural labor was much easier

[@christinem9280]

Congratulations once again on having baby Ryker in your arms!!! Welcome baby Ryker!!! You were so strong through it all Lydia!!

Oh Lydia, that was do intense. You had great focus in your pushing. You are a powerhouse! I'm so glad your family was with you. Your mom is so dear. I had a long 38 hour labor. I had an epidural in the middle. It wore off and I started pushing. It should be very different next time if you aren't induced. Lord bless you and Trace and Rykker!

[@annjohns9939]

Seeing Lydia's mom comforting her brought me to tears. May God keep you all safe and in the USA. Thanking God for Ryker.
