"Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord, children, a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, are the sons born in one's youth. Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them." Psalm 127:3
I had the joy and pleasure of spending last night at the Bristol Regional Medical Center with my friend Rebecca. She gave birth to baby boy Jackson Thomas Moreland a little before midnight. I think he weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was about 21 1/2 inches long. He is sooo cute and one of the calmest babies I've ever seen. He just lay there and looked around when he was awake and otherwise he was sleeping. He made these adorable little cooing noises either way.
Rebecca ended up having to have a caesarean section after a long day of induced labor. Her husband went home to be with the other children after the birth so I hope it helped her to have someone in the hospital with her. She was doing very well actually, despite the c-section, but it's always nice to have someone looking out for you when you're in the hospital, I think.
Another one of our good friends is actually due in about a week so we're going to have two little babies around! That's so exciting.
