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.

Loved this video clip from a television show, “Outnumbered”:

A few Fridays ago I did the unthinkable. Jess was invited to sing at a women’s banquet at church and Ella and I were given some time for a Daddy/Daughter date.

The unthinkable was that I decided to risk my sanity and take my daughter to Chuck E Cheeses for our date!

It was quite an adventure and if you watched my Twitter feeds from the night, you know that I narrowly escaped a few breakdowns and eventually made it home safe and sound having had a wonderful time with my girl!

After spending most of the evening in the play-area, Ella eventually wandered into the video-game area and played a few ticket-producing games resulting in about 80-some tickets to prove our skill at the ridiculous games we played.

We presented our tickets at the counter and Ella’s choice to get a plastic beetle-bug and a packet of Pop Rocks were not-so-quickly made.

We returned to the truck, Pop-Rocks and beetle in hand and after getting belted back in, I presented Ella with her first-ever mouth full of Pop-Rocks. Those moments I also managed to capture for you, the viewing public:
