“We are blessed beyond measure!”

Hello Friends!
I just wanted to send you out a little note that our 8th child/6th son, Benjamin Elias was born November 19, 2013 at 4:04 pm. He was 39 weeks gestation, and weighed 9 lbs 12 oz, and was 20.5″ long. My water broke around 8 am, contractions here and there started up around 11 but weren’t really anything interesting until after 1:30, when more active labor began. I had about 2 hours of crazy fast labor, and he was born quite gently just after 4. I feel absolutely great, despite my chart being noted as “elderly grand multipara”. Nice… elderly!
Benajmin is gorgeous, fat, has huge cheeks, and a slight heart murmur we expect to clear after transitioning. He’s nursing well, and his siblings can’t stop loving the pudding cup cheeks! I included a few pics from immediately after birth, and have a bunch more from today with siblings and stuff I’ll try to pass along when I can.
Thank you to all who prayed for us, and we are thankful for that, and are blessed beyond measure!
God Bless!
