Sounds like a beautiful birth, Angela! I am really proud of you and glad for you!
Give that big baby a hug from us! Maybe only 1200 hugs should have it covered! 
Enjoy!

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your prayers that carried me through...Praise God, he's here!!!!
John Paul was born Wednesday, May 9th at 5:27 pm. Drum roll here..... he weighed 11 lbs. 7 oz.!!! He was 21 1/2 inches long. We are both doing really well. I had only a tiny tear. He's a little bruised up, too. My water broke at 4:30 that morning. Not much for contractions, so I waited to call til closer to 7. Labor seemed slow to me, but kicked in in earnest after 3:30 pm.
I am so thankful we're both doing well considering his size. I'm sure all the prayers carried me through. |

Congratulations, Angela. I've been waiting for a friend who was due yesterday to announce the birth of their eighth child. I love happy beginnings! 
God bless you and yours. Even though you just had one tiny tear, take it easy getting back into your routine. Recovery takes longer with each child, at least in my experience.

Congratulations! If your kids like Robin Hood you could all call him "Little John"
My "little" John was my biggest but he was only 9 lbs 1/2 oz and I had to have a c-section. 
Enjoy your "babymoon"!
Blessings,
Krisann
