I'm Thrilled to announce the (much anticipated) arrival of Elijah Luke! He was born at 9:56 am weighing 8 lb 14.6 oz (is Dr. G good or what?? Her guess was 8.14!) He's 21 inches long.
We are so thankful for a safe delivery and a healthy baby boy! I know JB and Wendi appreciate All the prayers that have gone up on their behalf in the past 24 hours! God is good!
When I talked to John a few minutes ago, he said that Wendi was in quite a lot of pain, with the post delivery contractions. They were getting her some Morphine, I think, so hopefully she'll be more comfortable very soon.
They sent me a picture on my cell phone, but I can't get it off of there, pictures will have to wait until later today when Wendi feels up to me coming by the hospital.

How wonderful! I couldn't be happier for your family or FOUR!
I guess I should leave a comment too... I feel like I've been doing that already, since I've been posting, but I want to "get in on the congrats" as well, so when you look back at this day, you'll know how happy I am too!
It has been a pleasure to be able to post your wonderful news these past few days!
I couldn't be more thrilled about Elijah's birth! This is such a miracle, and I am so blessed to have been able to witness it right along side you all these months... you have been such a beautiful example of God's goodness.
Can't wait to see Elijah in person and see big brother Isaac with him! =)
Congratulations Wendi and John! We are so excited for you. Elijah is so blessed to have such wonderful parents. We will be praying for a quick recovery for you Wendi.
Congrats Wendi, JB and big brother Issac. Thanks Joia for keeping us all posted. I hope Wendi gets to feeling better soon. She had one heck of a long labor. Wow.
I wish i lived closer and could drop off meals for the weeks to come, but from reading about all her great friends i think they probably have it covered.
Blessings and praises from iowa!
Praise God! I felt like I was in labor all over again and certainly prayed more for you, Wendi, than I ever did for myself! Congratulations! I'm so happy for all of you and that the grandmas were able to be there!
Love, Julie Edgar
