I asked for prayers in the past few weeks, thank you! Our first son, little Steven Joseph Jr was born last week on December 20th at 7 lbs 4 oz. He and I are both doing great! Check out his pictures on my blog...he's wonderful!

I'm struggling a bit with emotional turmoil after arriving for my scheduled c-section fully dilated...this was my 3rd labor to 10cm that ended in a c-section and my uterus wasn't looking so great. I'm trying to place the future of our family in God's hands, but am still sad about not being able to do this many more times. God-willing we'll be able to adopt.

Thanks for your prayers and Merry Christmas!

He's BEAUTIFUL, Blair! Congratulations to you all. You are right to leave your family-building in God's hands. When we do that, we find that His plan is far better than anything we could have imagined for ourselves. Even if the journey there is not so pleasent.

Thank you for sharing your family photos! You all look so happy!

Blessings,
