Ambrose Benedict Reed was born last week via c-section. He is our smallest baby yet, weighing 7lbs 9 oz at birth. He is so precious and loved and we are all grateful that he is here in our arms now. This recovery has been more difficult than my c-section with Mabel, but I am okay. I have been struggling with migraine headaches since coming home from the hospital (thankfully, not the spinal kind) and they have me feeling pretty poorly, though each day seems a little better. I will share more soon, but wanted you all to know that he is here!
Congratulations. What a beautiful baby surrounded by a loved filled family.
many blessings to you, your little one and to your family! I am glad all is well and you took the time to let us know Ambrose is here 🙂
Congratulations!! Welcome to your lovely family, little Ambrose! Wishing you all, and especially you after giving birth, a very special first few weeks together all. Wishing you too a smooth post-partum, and a beautiful connection with your new son.

ps: The picture of your older son *beaming* with such joy and pride was so beautiful and touching!!
Congratulations!! Wishing you a blessed and speedy recovery, and much joy to your family!
I felt inspired to visit your blog tonight to see if your baby had been born yet. Congrats to you and your family Ginny! And welcome to the world Ambrose! So precious.
Hi Ginny:
Happy to hear of Baby Ambrose’s arrival. Congratulations to you and your lovely family.
I love the picture of Mabel giving Ambrose’s such a gentle kiss. Rest and take care of yourself — you and your family are in God’s protected hands,
Blessings to all of you,
Judith

Awwww….Ginny, this post brought tears to my eyes! I haven’t had much time for my old hobby of blog reading recently, but my littlest child (now almost 9!) and I spent a few minutes scrolling through your recent posts just now. I started reading your blog back when Beatrix was the little baby, and (I think) Larkspur was 5. I think I had originally found you through a comment you’d posted on the old Soulmama blog. My kids and your kids are all so grown up now, but your photos of your children still in the sweet, fun childhood ages make me so nostalgic! Those days felt so long and tiring at the time, but in memory they are so sweet. Please rest up and enjoy your newest little one! He looks so alert already.
I just love the expression of your son who is wearing a grey long sleeve t-shirt; his name is slipping me at the moment. He is looking upon his baby brother with such delight, pride, and tenderness; it makes me a bit teary. Life is beautiful.
Congratulations Ginny! What an adorable addition to your already beautiful family ❤️
Congratulations! So happy all is well! ❤️🙏🏻
Beautiful baby, beautiful name, beautiful family. God’s blessings to all of you!
You have been blessed with a healthy child. Well done.
Take special care with yourself now. Be well.
A beautiful baby and a lucky one too, born to a lovely family. I love the proud big brother pictures best. Congratulations to you all. And welcome to Benedict. Sending you love and prayers for a speedy recovery from the U.K.
Congratulations Ginny and family on the birth of your baby boy/brother. Welcome to the world Ambrose Benedict.
God Bless

Congratulations! How beautiful!
Congratulations! He has a beautiful name. I sometimes feel like c-section recovery steals those first 2-3 weeks. Its a sadness for me but thank goodness for painkillers!
hope your recovery gets better every day…its hard to be recovering and taking care of a newborn, you are fortunate to have so many eager helpers. I hope they take good care of you!
Peace be with you!

Though you will never meet most of your readers earth-side, we share the smallest portion of both your sorrows and your joy through the honest words and images you place here. What a privilege it is to join you in your joy today! God is faithful to His people. May He give full healing and lend strength for the mothering tasks with which He’s honored you– from the oldest right down to this newest soul.
With fond affection from one of many faithful readers.
Congratulations on the birth of beautiful Ambrose, dear Ginny, to you and your whole beautiful family. I hope you feel your strength returning steadily.
