Connor Andrew joined our family a little early...on Thanksgiving morning! What a wonderful Thanksgiving! I was scheduled for a c-section on Dec. 5th, but my blood pressure went up and wasn't coming down, so he came to join us on Thanskgiving! He's a healthy, sweet boy, weighed 6lb 9oz. Older brother and sister are thrilled. It's really wonderful to see an 11 year old and 14 year old love on their new baby brother. I was a bit nervous being pregnant for the first time in 11 years at 44 yrs of age, but everything went smoothly. Thank you all for your prayers. We are truly blessed.

Congratulations!!!!!!

That is exactly how it was for my Mom, there were two of us first, and then 11 years between me and my next younger brother, and we (my older brother and I) were thrilled as well, we sat there for 4 hours straight after his birth, just holding him and loving on him, enjoying our new baby brother, vying for who got to hold him until Mom had to move from the delivery room.

What a wonderful blessing to your family!!!!
