Our son, John Lawrence, was born Monday after a short labor, 9 pounds, 9 ounces. Mother and baby are doing well, and will be in the hospital for the remainder of the week.
Yeeeeeehaaaaaa! Thank you God for this new life, born into such a dear family. We pray that John will grow to know, love and serve his parents' Savior. Mrsb
Yay! So happy for you and your family! And what a nice sized boy you've got there! Mine was nearly the same size (9 lb 6 oz) -- now he's a brute of a 10-year-old!
Oh Meredith! That is wonderful news. I (along with many, I'm sure) have been watching and waiting and praying...so excited to hear about your new little guy. I can't wait to hear about your adventures in raising another boy. Our little one is already getting so big, although he's only 11 weeks old. Being a mom is simply the best!
Congratulations!!! I am so happy that everything turned out well for you. And it will be fun to see your posts as I have a baby boy that is just 5 days older than yours!
Meredith- You've been on my mind all day, and I've wondered whether or not your little one was here yet! God is good...Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Congratulations to all of you, and we will be praying for your health this week, Meredith, and that your body will begin to "settle down" and heal from this difficult pregnancy. Susan
Congratulations to Meredith and family on your new little one! Praise God that all went well; we will continue to pray that you'll recover quickly and your body will start to feel back to normal soon.
Congratulations from a reader in England. Hope you all enjoy your new addition, bless you all. Your blog is an inspiration and one you should not worry about putting on the back burner whilst you and your family settle down. Once all the children are in college all we regular readers will still be here !
