Everyone says the second child doesn’t have as many pictures as the first… maybe it’s because we get better at taking the pictures? Well, we do have some good ones in this batch. Levi seems to like the new baby sometimes, and we even caught a kiss! |

Jonathan joined us this morning at 10:52am, weighing 6 pounds 12 ounces, and 19 inches long. The whole delivery went prefectly – it can’t be any smoother than that.
Anyway, here’s the early pictures:

We had been planning on doing a c section on Wednesday, based on the diagnosis of some potential complications – it was about a 50/50 chance, and we decided on that path based on the fact that it was more prepared for an emergency. However, we also prayed and believed that if God thought better of a natural delivery, He could send baby along sooner.
It happened sooner – labor started Sunday night. As a result, we started the process for a natural delivery. Somewhere in the middle of the night, it dawned on me/God convicted me that I wasn’t asking for the right thing – I had been asking for help getting through the complications, but God reminded me that He could make them disappear altogether. All I could think to say was…. “OK”.
And that’s exactly what happened. It was a perfect, normal delivery, and Becky had no complications or unusual bleeding. We just have to praise God for a wonderful experience and reminder that He really is in control.
