Small Successes and Thankful Thursday - "BABY!!!" Edition

FaithButton

Well, he's here!!!! My biggest success of the past week!!

Our precious son, known here as "Gift" (we like to do meaning of the names here), was born last Friday. The blog has been sorely neglected as we love on our son and our growing family. But I have so much to share. As soon as I have time, I want to chronicle the events of last Thurs/Friday. But, Gift was born last Friday at 2:45am and was 8 lbs 12 oz. What a birth, and what a GIFT!!! We feel so blessed. He loves to be cuddled, loves to nurse every 30 minutes, and is a total love. We're over the moon. God IS Good!

I wish I had more time to post, but below are some new pictures (see the post before this one for other pics) of our little man and family. Thanks for the thoughts, kind words, and prayers!!!!






Thankful Thursday
This week I am most grateful for...

1. A gorgeous son!!
2. a safe pregnancy and delivery.
3. our girls being so welcoming of their brother.
4. the love and support of our family.
5. our friends bringing us meals!
6. naps.
7. so MANY things I can't remember to name because I'm just so excited!!

I'd better get back to my little man....so in love!! Blessings!
