11.8.2006 - The Big News!

Posted in On Being a Mother

    She's here! (Yep, it was a she!)
Mercy Ruth W.
8 lbs. 8 oz., 19 1/2"
Born November 7th @ 1:54 am

    It was a wonderful, uncomplicated birth and she is a wonderfully healthy little girl.  (yes, 8 lbs. 8 oz.  is little for us!)  I will post more soon- much, much, more... but now I need to nap!  and nurse... and nurse some more, then nap some more... but eventually I will get back to the computer.
    Thank you all for your continued prayers and encouraging words- it is such a blessing to have such a wide circle of friends! 
    Enjoying them,
    because of Him,
    ali

Oh my goodness, I just love her sweet cheeks! What an adorable pic of your "little" girl (at 7 pounds even, my first baby was my largest - 8'8" seems HUGE!).

Can't wait to see more pics and here the story - God bless this time you have together - I love the first few days.....

Hi Ali, It's your Aunt LouAnn. I'm so happy for you and your family. I simply love the name Mercy Ruth - she's so beautiful. I see Grace's features in her face. All your children are so beautiful. I'm anxious to see her in person, and now I know to purchase pink! I hope Liberty is feeling better and that none of the others get sick now. I plan to come Friday (tomorrow) with table (s)? and chairs? anything else? We have a wedding to go to on Sat at 2, but I'm hoping we won't stay for the reception, but that's up to DH. I hope to get out to your place before all the company has to head back home! I'll probably just bring my soup & goodies on Friday so that you have them early for Sat. Much love to you all !

She is absolutely beautiful Ali! PTL for a safe delivery and a quick recovery!

When you get back you'll have to explain why it took you so long to have her, induce on Monday, baby on Tuesday?

Grace and peace,

Ali- One of the first things I did when I got home was to check and see if you had your baby. In fact, while in Ca. I had thought to myself more then once "wonder if Ali had her baby yet"
Praise the Lord for a healthy little girl. She is adorable!!!
Blessings,
Linda<><
