At 5:58 pm on Monday, March 22, 2010, Julia Joy Oberholtzer was added to our family. Kate and Julia are doing fine. My status is less certain. Simply unbelievable!!

Forgot to tell you - our Lamaze teacher told us Vernix is the best hand cream you'll ever find :-) But you probably missed your chance...

Congratulations to you both! Erica and I are simply THRILLED for you both, and Alexandra can't wait to meet her new friend! Wish we could be there in person to see you all, bless you all and hope all three of you are doing well.

Welcome to the family, baby Julia! We're so excited that you're here and look forward to meeting you soon! . . . and congratulations Kate and Chad on the birth of your beautiful baby. We'll continue to pray for you all as you adjust to being a family of three. Love, Heidi (Mike, Lydia, and Clarissa)

Yay! Congratulations! I was with you, Erica, in guessing a boy. What a precious little girl! I'm so glad that everyone is healthy, albeit exhausted.

We will be praying for you, especially over the next couple weeks as you adjust to life with a newborn. Amid the lack of sleep, I hope that you can enjoy the precious moments together and revel in this new life.

Congratulations you guys! We are absolutely thrilled for you both. Is God not amazing!?! How incredible is our God! "For you formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:13-14. We serve a brilliant God. Enjoy the child He has given you!!!

Melinda said...

would you please post stats tomorrow? I know God looks at the heart, but I confess I'm just pretty curious about her body... just sayin'

We have almost lived here a year and you and Neil have gotten together, but our whole families need to!! We are praying for the adjustment period. Rest when you can!! Congratulations.
