We'd like to introduce Elijah! He's 7 lbs 2 ozs, born on December 16th, and 20 inches of pure handiwork of our God. The Lord absolutely blessed every part of this process - from the no need for drugs to the labor that was less than 7 hours total. Just like Elijah's name means, the LORD is our God!
Suz, one of our best friends, was able to be one of the nurses for the delivery. Just another huge blessing.

Apparently, Elijah was the 600th baby born at the Newberg Hospital this year, which was a milestone that the hospital was hoping to reach. As part of the celebration, they gave us "a major award!" (that's a line from the Christmas Story). We were gifted 600 diapers! They also took our photo with Suz and Nan (who delivered baby Eli), and framed it and all the nurses signed it. Again, just another great blessing from the Lord!
Many, many congrats! Elijah is so beautiful and we can't wait to meet the little guy! And that is awesome about the diapers, by the way. What an odd, yet wonderful, surprise!
ReplyDeleteThis little man is so handsome that he clearly takes after his grandfather!
