In Spirit and In Truth

In my babymoon  haze, I forgot to announce the name of my new son. :) I have been asked repeatedly by various individuals throughout my pregnancy about a name for the baby.

My son, who has not yet been named, was born May 17th @ 3:30 p.m. He weighs in at 10 lbs. And 4 0z. he is 21 1/2 inches long. Baby and I are healthy and well and are in the birth recovery process. Our homebirth/waterbirth went smoothly and successfully. We are thankful to all those who have prayed for us. We are humbled by the grace the Lord has bestowed upon us with the birth and addition to our family. Baby makes number 6 with 2 older sisters and three older brothers.
