Thank-you all for being here. He is such a prayed for baby! Currently we have a raging flu in our house, so if you could pray for his little baby immune system and that he would be spared, I would be so grateful!🧡🙏

Oh the stress of a high risk pregnancy is unreal. You start to dread doctors visits and hate the unnecessary fear that they place on you. But at the same time so thankful that they are keeping an eye on your baby. Praying for health

I am the most stoic person ever and rarely cry....I stopped cramming white cheddar corn puffs in my mouth after a frustrating day of work and my eyes were stinging -and I was motionless, hand in mid air with lonely cheese puff while I heard a Godly man praying in earnest for the situation at hand. ❤.
Aww I'm only at the very beginning and hearing Josh pray for you made me cry. So sweet.
"the baby crawled out" 😅 You are so sweet for sharing. I'm 52 and two birth stories behind me. Those two days were INDEED the most memorable of my life.
I am so happy for your beautiful healthy boy! Truly blessed! One of my biggest heartbreaks is that I can't get pregnant but I have two beautiful twin boys that came to me when they were one year old and it truly feels like that was Gods plan because they needed someone to see them and love them and give them everything and I do and really have so much love to give them. Maybe I wouldn't have if I had been able to bear my own.
Congratulations 😊 My sister is a labor and delivery nurse (40yrs ) and she still says every baby is a miracle. Soak up every moment just in case this is the last baby. Spending this day praising God for answering so many prayers for you. So happy for you!!! 😊

Don't apologize for crying. My children are 29 and 25. I still tear up when thinking about what a miracle God has given me twice!! I teach pre-k and just today I was reading a story to my students that my daughter had gotten in her baby book club. It brought tears to my eyes as I thought about reading her that sweet story!

It’s always incredible to see how God comes through for us, even when we have prayers we hope to see answered, but don’t feel able to see that a reality!!! He is SO faithful!!! As a young woman wanting a family so much, it’s always touching to see your heart touched with the little…and not so little miracles.❤

Congratulations!! My kids are in their 50’s, it was so nice reliving the birth process through your story. God Bless your sweet family.
5 minutes in and I was already crying with you!!! I relate so much to the struggle after 20 weeks with suspected complications! My daughter did end up having a birth defect & disability, but she is still such a precious gift. ❤️❤️ what a blessing your sweet boy is, our God is so great! congratulations!
My baby was IUGR, starting at about 37 weeks. They induced me at 38 weeks, and praise the Lord they did! Her cord was tied in a knot, wrapped around her neck twice, arm once, and body once. I'm so thankful for the medical intervention at times like this. We now have a healthy little 7 month old!

Oh my goodness, your situation is so similar to mine. My daughter had no heartbeat at birth and for 7 minutes after until she was resuscitated (they had to shock her twice). It was absolutely devastating yet beautiful because I finally got to meet her. I’m equally thankful for the efforts everyone made to save my precious daughter. She has been perfectly healthy since and is now expecting her 3rd little girl at 33❤❤❤

Retired medical transcriptionist. “IUGR” = intrauterine growth retardation for those who are unfamiliar.
28.5 weeks pregnant here. Cried through this whole thing. Wow, I wasn't prepared for this one, Megan.
Oh, Megan! Such an awesome story! I’m 63, no kids, but I just love your stories and faith! I’m dripping tears!! Much love and prayers to y’all!
My daughter just had baby boy #2 Monday morning. She had some complications that were almost identical to complications I had when I gave birth to her. Thankfully she was able to get through it and they were able to come home the day after he was born. Her first baby had a heart defect and that pregnancy was very scary for her but he was born and able to have a life saving surgery at 1.5 years old so it was a blessing. God has been so good to our family. Praising God for healthy babies and mommas!
What a kind husband I love him praying for you .
It's hard to put into words how beautiful this is. The prayers, the scripture reading, your emotions it is all so beautiful, and then the greatest miracle of all, a precious baby. Thank you for sharing. There is no mistaking how thankful you are for the greatest gift GOD can give. Prayers for blessings and health for your precious family.
I've been anxiously waiting for this video. I guess none of us realized that your second 20 weeks were so stressful. I think it is so commendable that in spite of your concerns, you still had a positive attitude through all your videos. You werent whining, complaining or pitying yourself. A couple comments in the past few months made me wonder if you were keeping some of your concerns to yourself but I think you showed a beautiful example of being positive during it all and that couldnt have been easy. I'm so thankful for your healthy baby and pray God continues to bless your family.
Aaaawww, daddies with their babies just melt my heart!
Congratulations on baby fox #4. Every time you hold him you'll know that God answers prayers. ✝️🤱
I love the visualization! You should get a photo with you on that swing with your new baby in your arms! 😍
My DIL has been going through this exact same thing with her pregnancy, growth restricted and fluctuating between 4-5th %tile. Two ultrasounds every week since 24 weeks. They will induce her next Thursday at 38 weeks. It's been quite a roller coaster, but we're thankful that the baby is healthy and weighing over 5 pounds. So happy for you that your baby arrived safe and healthy!
Megan, picturing that childhood scene during labor was so precious and heartwarming. THank you for sharing so much here.
Psalm 139! My 3rd baby was born almost a year ago and as I was walking trying to encourage labor (12 days overdue), I repeatedly said this psalm. Such a peace. Congratulations!
What a handsome little man!!!🎉❤And a lovely brith story!!Josh praying over you was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes ,what a gift !God is truly amazing in joy or sadness praise be to God !!😅

Joshs prayer in the beginning almost made me tear up!! So amazing to have that support ❤️❤️ welcome baby Baylor!!
What a beautiful birth story. Lil Baylor is such a blessing. You are both amazing parents!

I thoroughly enjoyed this birthing log. It was so sweet and I love how Josh caught the baby's head. The other children are so precious. The new little man looks like Miller. ❤❤❤❤
Josh praying for you is tear jerking! Oooofff 🥺 what a blessing it must be to have a husband who prays over his wife 🥰🩷🥳
Megan, this video was so emotional. You and Josh moved me to tears. So glad everything went well. 🙏congratulations on your new bundle of joy🎉
Congratulations! And yes each baby is a miracle! Some have to fight harder to get here, to stay here, and to survive but all are miracles indeed!
What a beautiful story. Josh’s prayer over you (and excellent reflexes) was so moving - what a wonderful man and father. So grateful yours and our prayers were answered ❤
Congratulations! He is beautiful 🤩 I’m in my 60s now, and I’m a Grandma. It’s another whole set of emotions becoming a Grandma! You have such a beautiful family! Enjoy ❤ I love his name! Blessings, the Lord is good 😊
Oh my goodness a baby!! How absolutely beautiful. The dear Lord was with you all the way Megan as I knew He would be. I’m so delighted for you all. I used to cry with you too!!!
Megan, this is not a “Mostly” positive birth story - this is SO POSITIVE. I was sooo encouraged watching this video, hearing how you clung to God’s promises and how he (literally) delivered you and gave you the desires of your heart!!! so amazing!! I also was so moved by how you visualized everything that brought you comfort and how it drastically changed your labor story. I am due with my second this year and I will take that nugget/idea into labor this time around. 🤍🤍

What a beautiful blessing, Megan. Baylor is precious! Thank you for sharing your beautiful little boy with us. ❤ Congrats to all of you.
How generous of you to share. So beautiful. ❤ Josh is a compassionate husband and father, I'm sure there are others but I've never observed them).
Hi Megan! I've never commented before, but I love watching your videos each week! I just had a baby girl on Jan 26, so it's been fun following your pregnancy at the same time. She is my 3rd and I've been induced twice now because my water always ends up leaking. My nurse told me having the IV with fluids helps your uterus contract properly because you're better hydrated? I'm glad you made it back to the bed from the bathroom! My births have been quick and my second was born in the bathroom! The doctor always barely makes it to catch the baby. My husband and nurse always have to be on deck to catch the baby. This baby was 9lbs 1oz. So I'm one of those with the big babies! We had to do the glucose tests too because she was so big. It was so stressful because she failed twice, but thankfully we avoided the NICU too. Congrats! It's so nice to be home and cuddling your baby. Happy for you that you made it to that!
Congratulations Megan and Josh! Baylor is beautiful! He looks like his big brothers. You chose good strong names for him. I especially like Penn. My first ancestors who came to this country in 1683 were Quakers. God willing young Penn will also be strong in his faith. It is good to see you resting, Megan As a nurse, I am so impressed with Josh!!
I was so thankful to watch this video! I had to stop eating my lunch while I watched it because it kept making me cry! Thank you so much for sharing! God is good! I am so thankful that your little baby was born safely!
Oh Megan - you had me in tears right from the start of this your most beautiful video. The scripture you quoted, finding out you were pregnant, then there were four and the beautiful scene between Josh & Evonnie. But most wonderful - your statement about being the mother of boys and the impact you - as a mother raising those boys - has for the future of our world. AMEN!!! I too am the mother of boys …. I cherish them and delighted in being a “ boy” mom! Keep doing your beautiful job of vlogging … you are the BEST Mennonite mom ( and Jeanine) wouldn’t watch any others!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. When Josh prayed for you/with you, it was perfection❤❤❤❤❤❤
🎉💙YAY!!! I’ve been waiting for this video.
Love 💘! Such a beautiful story! My boys are approaching their 40's, and I remember their special day. Now, I have ten grandkids. All babies are a special gift from above, and we can rejoice in the Hands that formed them in our womb. Blessings to you all! Blessings to the Fox family!
Thank you for sharing your anxiety and feelings. I had a late miscarriage years ago and I could really relate to the fears and prayers, and the alternate reality feeling. It’s good to hear other mother’s experience too. I will pray for your special time postpartum and that you feel spiritually restored.
As a former L and D nurse, my first thought for a mom of three would not have been to put the monitor on during that moment but to check for an imminent delivery🥰 Also, I’m like you , I had three induced labors and often felt cheated that I didn’t get to experience going into labor spontaneously

Having had one induced and one spontaneous - it’s really not that different! About the only major difference for me was laboring some of the time at home vs in the hospital. Once it gets going, it’s very similar!
Thank you so much for sharing! You are truly blessed to have such a supportive husband and family.
Awww Megan!!! Your story was so touching and your family is so beautiful!!! Enjoy every little moment!!! ❤❤
We had a daughter followed by 4 sons. My daughter prayed so much for a little sister…so after that God gave us 4 daughters 😂. Happy for you guys and congrats ❤
Welcome to the world, Baylor! Prayers for all of you and especially for the little one as you battle the flu in the house. What a blessing you give us by sharing your birth story. It was a bit of a pleasant shock to see and hear how God was part of Baylor's birth story. So many beautiful prayers. He is a blessed little boy. Josh is becoming more of a treasure as he grows in wisdom and age. God bless!!!
Oh Megan♥️ What a beautiful blessing from the LORD! I prayed for you- happy to hear all went well❤🙏
This was such a beautiful video - thank you for sharing your birth story! Your children are all precious and beautiful and a gift from God! And you and Josh make a great team. Congratulations!
You did great! You're on the other side of it. He's here and beautiful. CONGRATULATIONS! Megan. 👶 Baby Baylor 💙🩵 also praying against the flu.🙏
Congratulations! You and Josh are just the sweetest couple❤
Enjoy Baylor! Such a sweet time for you! Welcome Baby Fox! I was listening to you like a person who had no kids!! Thank you for sharing!
The relaxing method worked SOO much better for me than moving all over the place, like I did with my other birth. 😀 There’s something to be said about letting yourself just be still/quiet, and letting your body do it’s thing!
Watching a baby being born always makes me so emotional. Thanks for sharing this special moment of your lives with us.💙
Megan congratulations to you and your family. What a great blessing. Enjoy your fourth baby and all the blessings for his future. ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience! We have four children as well. Congratulations on your beautiful new family member!❤😊
Congratulations Megan and Josh! Baylor is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Great video. Prayers for your family for a quick recovery from the flu.
Fascinating birth story Megan, I very much enjoyed listening! I am 38 weeks today and on pins and needles waiting for our little one to arrive (4th as well!) . You did amazing, and God’s has answered your prayers! I hope you get some rest and adjust to the baby easily. Josh is so sweet to do everything like diaper changes while you rest, what a caring man. Good teamwork! Enjoy your newborn snuggles and soak up every second. I cannot wait to meet our own little boy soon
Congratulations on your precious baby boy! May God bless him with a long, happy and healthy life!💙
Welcome precious Baylor! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful and specific answers to prayer! It blessed my heart so much and increased my faith. I was praying for a safe and healthy delivery for you! 💗💗
Have been eagerly awaiting this video. I love hearing your birth stories because I find them more relatable than most - I always find myself anxious during pregnancy too.
So happy all went well!❤ this makes me want to have another baby stat! 😬🤭 Congratulations!🎉🎉 The world needs more godly men! 🙌🏽
Congratulations!!! Baylor is so sweet. ❤ Thank you for sharing your story. I can really relate to the visualisation part. With my first born, I visualised with every contraction that I was watching a marathon and a group of people was running by. First I saw them from a distance, and then closer and after a while they would pass by. To keep myself distracted I started visualising other things running by, such as all kinds of animals and even household objects and vegetables 😂 It worked amazing! I will pray for your family 🙏🏻
So happy for you and your family Megan! ☺️
Absolutely beautiful baby and birth story!!! Congratulations Fox family!! May God’s grace bless each one of you!!!❤
What a blessing, praise God! Thank you for sharing, Megan! Enjoy all the cuddles!
Thank you so much for sharing! We are happy for the new arrival! Many blessings! Much love!! ❤
That was so beautiful it brought back memories when I had my three kids. They’re all adults now. Congratulations to you and your family. See you in your next video. Have a blessed Thursday night❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful!! What a testimony of His goodness. Thank you for sharing!
Awww Josh’s prayer made me cry! What a beautiful relationship you two have and what a beautiful family you’ve built!
Darling, you make this old lady so happy. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy💙. I tearing along with you. Your gratitude and concern with each baby is Gods way of his ever presence and love. You and Josh are truly blessed as are your precious four children😇😇😇😇😇😇
Congratulations this brings back so many memories of my baby girl who is now 8. She was a tiny 5pound 8oz and the same sugar levels happened with her. Thank the Lord she was allowed home a few days post delivery 💕🥰
Oh Megan congratulations!! What a perfect boy! I always love hearing your birth stories- it’s important to share stories of hope!
What a precious family. Baylor is a beautiful baby. Congratulations
Wow is right!! I certainly can relate to so much of your story! Best wishes! ❤ Adding on to say yes, the ‘newborn bubble’ is lovely!
I've been waiting for this video!! I cried with you as I watched it. I'm so happy everything is going so well with you and the baby. God is amazing. May he bless you and your family always ❤
Oh josh, that prayer was beautiful ❤ thankful Megan and baby have you supporting them.
Oh Megan, I'm watching this and crying along with every word! Hearing you say Psalm 139 and Josh praying touched my soul. When you talked about the dark time with anxiety, it made me feel so seen as I have been there too. It was a different situation, but all the same feelings that the dark pit of anxiety brings and the guilt that is most definitely not from God but twists our minds. You are so brave! Thank you for sharing ❤
So precious! Congratulations! ❤️
So happy your little bundle of joy has arrived! Prayers for a healthy, happy family!
Not me crying through this entire video 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am so happy for you!!!! We’re trying to decide if we want a baby #3 right now, and we’re just not sure! But your experience is reminding me how much of a magical (and yet, very hard) experience it all is!
