From 2009.05.28 – Ezra's Birth 01


Praise the Lord, Ezra was born today at 7:16AM. He weighed in at a whopping 9lbs, 11oz., and was 21-inches long! He’s HUGE!

He is a perfect creation of our Heavenly Father and a blessing to our family!

I am updating this from the hospital WiFi as Ezra is being looked after by the Specialty Care Nursery nurses. He has had some trouble breathing today and has gone into breathing distress anytime he gets worked up trying to nurse or trying to take a bottle. They have him on antibiotics and around-the-clock care for tonight.

The around-the-clock care should help Jess and I get some much-needed rest here in the hospital room. We know God is in complete control and isn’t surprised when we are at “other than normal” situations that arise!

Ella is excited about her new brother. We captured some great moments of her singing “Happy Birth Day” (yes, I meant to spell it that way):


Jess and I would both covet your prayers for Ezra tonight and especially these next few days!

Some great photos of the day are here.
