Such wonderful news! Thank you for sharing with us on the day he was born. I'm so happy for you both. Gideon is beautiful! So wonderful Kevin made it home in time too. Hope he can get some needed sleep as well.
Wonderful news! I'm saying prayers of thanksgiving for a healthy baby and safe delivery. And also that Daddy made it back just in time. I prayed just yesterday that he would be at peace (at his parents) not worrying to much about you and the delivery and that he would make it back home safe and in time for the birth. God is so awesome!
Beautiful, both of you!!
You both look wonderful, and I am rejoicing with all of you!! What a beautiful family - God is so good!!
Love to you all.
