Baby FYI



So it's been pregnancy central for my brothers and sisters this year. My brother Salem and his wife Megan gave birth to baby number 2, last month. His name is Jared and he is beautiful. Look at that hair! Those cheeks! I can't wait to meet him.


Then.
My sister Jordan and her husband Paul, plus my brother Jared and his wife Liz are each due with baby number 1 on January 1st, 2008.



Actually. I should say "were" due. Because Liz and Jared gave birth to a gorgeous little boy, Henry Wayne Stanley, on December 5th — after a crazy surprise emergency c-section. He is home and healthy and I can't wait to meet him too. Isn't that a great shot? Ben thinks he looks just like one of our babies.

And. Paul and Jordan are at the hospital as I type!


Three little boy cousins. All born within a short time. So wonderful. But labor is hard. Delivery is harder. I'll be sending up prayers for Jordan all day long.

Woman. This is just not right. I had a dream that I had a nursing baby last night and you are adding to the sad reality that I don't!!! Oh my goodness, these babies are so gorgeous but that second one!!! OY VEY!!! Oh my goodness... not that I want to pit the cousins against each other, but Henry is the epitome of adorable!!

Praying for a vasectomy failure!!
