HE IS HERE!!!!






I can't even begin to describe the elation that comes over you when your baby is born. The joy that filled us was so overwhelming at his first cry that tears were in our eyes and e ached to hold him instantly. This little bundle that we had watited and anticipated for so long. Here is our first family picture. Not everything went as planned but the outcome was awsome. We showed up at the hospital around 6 am on Saturday May 27, 2006 and by 7 am Chenoah was given a drug to help move along the labor. By noon she was off the drug and in full labor pain and the gave her the epidural. At 2:45pm n she started the pushing and we pushed for 3:30 hours before they finally made the decision to go for a C-section because one of two things were happing. One his head was too big (they all blamed me for this) and or two he was postierior (face up ) which makes vaginal birth very difficult. The surgery went perfectly and baby Elijah Scott entered our lives at 8:09pm on the 27th of May. He was 8lbs 9oz and 21 inches long. He currently has royal blue eyes and a full head of sandy brown hair. He has cute big feet and hands with all the toes and fingers accounted for! The next 4 days were long recovery days but all worth it. We came home on the 31st of May and everyone is dong much better being able to be home. Thank you alll for your prayers. Elijah is healthy and a beautiful baby. The Lord truely answered our prayers and we continue to pray for his health and development. I can't wait to get to know his personality as it develops and find out what his gifts are!
