He’s Here…Our Newest Gift From God (GFG)

May 28, 2010 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Baby, GFG

day 3 mom and gio's hand

It’s been about two weeks since we welcomed our newest blessing.  Our blessing was born on Monday, May 17.  He weighed in at 9.14 pounds of yuminess.  Yes, he was a big boy. 

I’ve been too busy loving on him, resting and sharing my JOY with my family to be able to post on the blog.  However, I have been able to find time here-and-there to write in my journal.

I completed my birth story and began to log pictures.  I want to do my best to record all life’s precious moments that have been gifted to us by our most loving Father.  Not to mention, the journaling helps when your memory becomes shady and begins to mix up events of the children.  Yes, I’m speaking from experience.

Time for me to go, baby beckons and this nursing and typing with one hand is not working for me.  I hope to be back soon with more pictures.day 3 gio's foot with ringsday 1 on way hom edfrom hospitalday 1 baby greeted at home

    Oh! Congratulations! He is absolutely beautiful and your pictures are so nice that I could just reach out and kiss his pretty head through my screen:). We just found out yesterday via ultrasound that we’re having a boy. I’m even more excited now seeing your precious joy!
