Psalm 89

A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. [a]

1 I will sing of the LORD's great love forever;
with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.
2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever,
that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself



Ethan J Heare was born this afternoon at 12:30. He is 7 pounds 14 ounces. He is 20 inches long. Don't let this sweet picture fool you, when born he was screamin like a banshee!



Cathi was incredible. With Ryan she was in labor 20 plus hours and pushed for 2 and a half. The lady Emily was a 12 hour labor with about an hour of pushing. Ethan was a 5 hour labor with about 15 to 20 minutes of pushing. And "Yes!" she did look this good right after he was born.



Ryan and Emily arrived to welcome little brother into the world. As we walked down the hall after meeting Ethan for the first time Ryan threw his hands up into the air, looked up, closed his eyes and said "Thank you G-d! Thank you G-d! He is so cute!" The nurses station was a bit startled.



Cathi carries the baby, goes through labor, and delivers the child. I cut the chord. I dropped the scissors on the first try. This time....beautiful.




A Good Day.

Your prayers, encouragment, and love have meant more than you will ever know. Thank you.

Tomorrow the kids will be blogging!

Shema,
Scott, Cathi, Ryan, Emily, and Ethan
