Ezekiel Stuart Symington

News~ news! Our baby has arrived! He was born on Jan. 28th - @ 6:25 am - weighed 8 lbs 11 oz. and was 20" long.
I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything yet - if you are on facebook, you can see much more -
My computer is terribly slow, so I have to give up on posting a picture right now -
The delivery was an incredible experience - we unexpectedly delivered alone - at home. We were planning on having the baby at home with a midwife - in a birthing pool. I miscommunicated with the mid-wife @ 2:30 am - and while she was waiting for me to call back, I was waiting for her to show up! The labor was intense and quick - and once we got so far along, there was nothing to do, but have the baby - assisted or not. Thankfully, all went well - we praise God - we have a beautiful baby boy - and he is normal and healthy. The recovery has gone so well too - my sister-in-law, Kim, has been here to help - and has stayed a week. We will miss her when she goes home tomorrow - then the real "fun" begins - trying to find a new normal with 6 kids. Thankfully, the older ones help, and I have an amazing husband who is very involved with raising the kids - he'd have to be, if he was willing and able to support me during birth - cutting the cord, etc! I am just so thankful to God for His blessings. I'm sorry I can't get a picture on here at this time - check later - or visit my facebook page - Zeke is a beautiful baby.
