My first child, a son, was born last night at 6:37. We knew it was an uphill battle. We lost his little heartbeat yesterday morning. He weighed in at 3lbs exactly, and 15 3/4 inches long. Full head of hair. A truly handsome little man.

I love my son. He will always be numbered among my children.

The staff of the hospital was absolutely fantastic.

Ann and I are resting and doing well. We will be with family for the next few days.

No real words. Love… that’s really all. We had a good time tonight with our families. Some laughing, some crying… all comforting. God has truly blessed us. We could not ask for a better support structure than we have been given. We want HIM to be glorified by this.

We appreciate all your prayers, thoughts and kind words.

Much love.
