1. Crazy pregnant lady trying to get everything done before the baby arrives (hurry, hurry, we only have two weeks!) decides to conduct a garage sale.
2. Crazy pregnant lady decides to invite backup (mom & dad) mostly for childcare purposes.
3. The morning of the garage sale, crazy pregnant lady has contractions and calls the midwife.
4. Crazy pregnant lady labors while shoppers overtake the front yard to find themselves a great deal.
5. GOD's GRACE and MERCY abound, blessings are heaped on us that are too numerous to mention, and Evan Gilead Muth is BORN at 3:07pm at home, where all is well and tears of joy continue to flow. We are so humbled and blessed that God has chosen to grant the desire of our hearts for a wonderful VBAC at home!!!
More details will follow, but I thought, you know, that you would want at least part of the story. The funny part, of course.

My heart is filled with praise and joy to the Lord for the safe delivery of your newborn and for keeping His hand of protection on you and your family during this blessed time. Get your rest. My prayers and congratulations to you and Michael11
Praise God From Whom All Blessing Flow...CONGRATULATIONS!!! I LOVE the picture with the your happy family of FOUR (Evan with thumb in mouth, Aaron touching his head). (You all look so relaxed and happy...BIG contrast to some hospital birth pics that I have seen.)
Love to you all, Great-Aunt Rosemary (again!)
that is crazy! were people shopping outside the whole time? so, what did you do today, jenny? oh, not much just had a garage sale AND A BABY!!
that's great! what a cool story for him. :) congratulations!
So happy for you Jenny. God is so good:).
That is wild!!! YAY that you got to do a vbac and that everything went so smoothly!!! You really had a terrific day - garage sale profits and a new bambino. Wow. Get your rest now and NO MORE GARAGE SALES for awhile. :)
This is so crazy; Congratulations Jenny and Michael! And welcome to the world baby Evan. I'm speechless... Thank the Lord for a safe home delivery!
Love to all!
Congrats..I can hardly believe it..two weeks early! I haven't even considered that happening, and I have a garage sale planned for this weekend :) I am so glad everything happened as you liked with the natural at home birth part. Look forward to hearing more.
Congratulations Jenny and family. Those 38 weekers can sneak up on you. I wasn't "ready" when William showed up at 38 weeks, either, especially since Tyler was induced at 40 weeks. (How similar to your stories, without the c-section.)
Congratulations Michael & Jenny! I am quite impressed by your determination to do a home delivery and I praise God with you on the arrival of your new boy!

Welcome Evan! Congrats to his Mama, Daddy and big bro Aaron!
I'm so happy this delivery was as you wanted it... and just a little jealous, too.
He's precious!
Congratulations Michael and Jenny, We serve an Awesome GOD! all praise to him. Evan is so handsome!
Congratulations! So, if I ever want to have a baby without being induced, all I have to do is have a garage sale? Man, if I had known that about five and a half years ago!
Congratulations!! I am so excited for you guys and can't believe the craziness of your second son's birthday--what a story you will have to tell him!!
