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.

tomorrow

Tomorrow morning at 6:30AM, my wife will undergo a c-section and our son, Ezra Paul (unless the pictures have been wrong) will be born!

Please be praying for Mommy (and Daddy!) that all goes as planned and that her recovery is safe and speedy! Also be praying for our son (and his sister!).

My sister, Sherilyn, came up with a clever name for her ministry newsletter – “Wrinkled Sheets”. She just released her May edition and gave us some great insight into what’s up in her life and ministry. Check it out here.

Dude, I’m getting (another) Dell!

So today’s attempt at clearing off some junk from my hard drive proved fruitless. Even after removing numerous albums and “priceless” video clips, I’ve still only managed to free up a total of 3gigs on my tiny 120gb hard drive on my current Dell Inspiron E1505 that I got back in October, 2006!

So tonight we spent our tax return on my new Dell. The decision to buy tonight (instead of a month ago when we first knew what our return would be) came after today’s hard drive filling-up situation. That happens every few weeks and I manage to keep off-loading pics and videos to an external 350gb hard drive that I filled up about 2 months ago!

The new Dell is an Inspiron 15 Laptop. For you techies, here are the specs:

New Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 (2.53GHz/1066Mhz FSB/3MB cache)
Current Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7200 (2.00GHz/667MHz)

New RAM: 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 800MHz
Current RAM: 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 533MHZ

New display: 15.6 inch WLED Display (1366×768)
Current display: 15.4 inch UltraSharp Wide Screen WXGA

New Video Card: 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330
Current Video Card: 256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1400 HyperMemory

New Hard Drive: 500GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
Current Hard Drive: 120GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

New OS: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1 32 Bit
Current OS: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1 32 Bit

New Wireless Card: Intel WiFi Link 5100 802.11 Wireless-N Mini Card
Current Wireless Card: Intel WiFi 802.11g Wireless Card

New CDROM: 8X CD / DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
Current CDROM: 8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability

New Webcam: Integrated 1.3 MP Webcam
Current Webcam: a piece of junk external one!

I’m also going to upgrade to the newest Office suite (not through Dell).

Can’t wait to get this bad-boy!

Current arrive date is June 6th, but I’ve always been impressed with an earlier ship-date than what they originally say.

So, what do you think?
