And baby makes 7...

I am honored to announce the birth of our newest child...

Our fifth child was born at 5:24 Saturday morning, February 6, 2010. Weighing in at 7lbs 6oz and measuring 19 3/4 inches long, after only two hours of labor we were blessed to welcome our newest son into the world.

He is beautiful, perfect, sweet and amazing. We're still not quite sure what his name is yet, but the kids have all got little nicknames for him. Girly Pie calls him "New Baby." Goose mostly calls him "My Baby" or "Little Tiny Baby." Finny calls him "Baby No Name." Punky just calls him "The Baby." But whatever he is called, he's just perfect. And there is no lack of love or open arms around here for this sweet little man. We're not quite sure if his eyes are going brown or blue yet, mostly because he's been so sleepy since his birth that we have had a hard time getting a good look at them in the light. He has a full head of long, dark brown hair and the sweetest little face. He reminds us very much of Goose when he was born - but still has very much his own look.

He is just perfect.

I'm still resting up in bed, and am just posting quickly from my hubby's laptop. So I'll have to post pictures and give the full detailed account of labor and all of our sweet baby boy's story in a few days. But I wanted to at least get the basics up here for anyone who was waiting for news. I can't wait to fill everyone in though on his story and on how strongly I have felt God's presence and love through these last days of pregnancy and in our Baby Boy's arrival.


But for now, welcome Little Man. We are so very happy to have you here.
