Born February 6, 2009 @ 4:40pm, 8 pounds, 20 inches. Overall the labor and delivery went remarkably well. Mommy and baby both came through like champs. Daddy is still a bit in shock, but overwhelmingly grateful for this gift. The words that best describe how I feel are from Psalm 16. "The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance."
Even as we celebrate this new life my heart breaks for a former classmate who lost his 7-year-old daughter yesterday. Oddly enough I heard the news while I was coaching Shannon through the final hour of labor. Truly, life is a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Pray for the Winter family.
