Deidrè, you were so ready to meet Lukas! Everything about the birth excited you, and it was wonderful to witness your eagerness to be in labour.
Women are so often scared of labour and childbirth because of the overwhelming influence of social media, hearsay stories, and simply our human nature, which doesn't always allow us to view pain in a positive light.
But as Sheryl Feldman said: “There is power that comes to women when they give birth. They don’t ask for it; it simply invades them.” That is exactly what happened!
It was a long labour. Your pelvis was incredibly painful, and the cramps in your hips were wild, making it difficult to bear down. But you never once said you couldn't do it, and you never said you were too tired. Despite the challenges, you were ready.
Esteon, wow. You were Deidrè’s ROCK! There are not enough words to praise you for the way you supported her throughout this day. We can all agree that all glory belongs to God. His mighty right hand sustained you, and when you finally held Lukas, the relief and joy were tangible.
Welcome, little Lukas Ezra Steyn, born on 7 July 2025 at 11:30, weighing 3.53 kg!
