Oh, how I long to kiss those sweet lips... Our children are all highly kissable, but this one takes the cake.
Our newest son.
He grows strong and healthy in my core, moving constantly, blessing me with signs of life. And today, we were blessed with further proof of health and life, as we counted fingers and toes, examined his spine, and laughed as a family when he covered his face with a grumpy arm... I was sleeping!
Eliana offered me her lovey and her doll, and rubbed my arm during the whole first half (that is to say, until she grew more interested in all the equipment in the room!). Cor stood at my head, his arms wrapped around my neck, and Micah cuddled with Daddy and cooed at every movement, every close-up.
We are so thankful. So thankful.
Rejoice with us!

Yaaaayyy, Elise! I was hoping you'd find out what you were having...and share! How exciting to be awaiting another little boy. Can't wait to hear his name! And give him kisses, too.
Praise God!
What a beautiful boy you have there! What an awesome God we have!!
Elise!
Dirt underneath my fingernails here from digging weeds out in the flowerbeds and came in to find you and say how much "contend" has been ringing in my heart and thank you (for the last post)... but THIS! Delight! Joy! Can't stop smiling!
Can we dance, swirl, LAUGH?! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Father!
Rejoice with you, indeed, friend...
Back to flowers and weeds... and praise, praise, praise....
All's grace,
Ann
I think our own corners of heaven might be decorated with amazing and vivid photographs of incredible moments in our lives. Your family peering in on little brother/little son will be one very beautiful photograph. (And there might just be one from little one's vantage point!)
Both photographs will be simply titled "LOVE".
Smile.
how absolutely wonderful... :)
I'm rejoicing with you. And enjoye seeing that picture of you with 'bump'! thank you!
all my love, dear sweet lady

Elise,
I have been waiting for this all day! I kept checking, until - YAY!!! What a precious being he is- knit so perfectly in your womb. God bless you. What a miracle!
Also, I responded to your email, but it has been undeliverable for a few days. I'll keep trying ...
Oh Elise....what joy! Two healthy strong boys what more could we ask for!
Rejoicing with you!
Oh Elise, how very special and wonderful for you all. I am so happy! God is good! I cannot wait to meet this newest gift. Congratulations.
So a boy it is...how wonderful! I am a bit biased towards boys and think everyone should have at least a dozen ;-) Along with a dozen girls, of course!!
Congratulations!!!
{Tears}
Oh, I am!!!
Rejoicing with you, that is.
YAY, God!!!
And congratulations to you on your third son!

Rejoicing with you-- another son! He is so precious. I can't wait to "meet" him, and I know are looking forward to that day, too! Treasure each moment with this blessing God has given you.
Psalm 127:3-5a
Behold, children are a gift of the Lord;
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them...
Praise God!I am rejoicing w/you today!
God continues to form your little one in the hidden places! Beautiful!
