Our Baby

Sebastian Job Amadeus

Born November 5th, 2013

10 lbs. 4 oz.

Baby and I had a rough go of it, but we are both doing well.

I have few words right now, but wish to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.ย  They were needed and will always be treasured by me.

Love,

Ginny

    Ginny, Congratulations to you and your family! My largest baby was 10 lbs. 2 oz., delivered naturally, and it was the hardest night of my entire life, so I know right where you are at this moment. Praying for God’s peace to be with you now and in those emotional moments to come.

    First, Ginny, he is perfectly and wonderfully beautiful! Congratulations! I am so happy for you and your family! It is plainly obvious how much he will be loved!

    Second, I am so sorry you had a rough time. My second-born’s birth was my difficult one. Praying for quick healing and peaceful, sweet rest for you and little Sebastian. Oh, he is precious!

    Love and hugs to you, Ginny!

    I’ve been checking your site– also excited for your baby news! Congratulations! I empathize with you as I had my sixth baby in June at home- weighing 11 even. His size was hidden until birth- we were so surprised with his weight. Those shoulders took more work to push out than my other babes. He is such a sweet stoic boy! Praying your recovery will be w/out complication and your family’s adjustment smooth and grace filled.

    O Hooray! I am so happy for you I am grinning!! I was wondering on checking in if this might have happened.
    I am reminded too of this verse: “A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world”. Although for me it takes a while to forget that pain and maybe for you too, but oh the joy. So happy for all of you – he looks gorgeous!
