Perry Benjamin at the hospital.
March 25, 2009
After much anticipation, Perry has arrived. He was 9.1 lbs and 21 inches long, yeah, big boy. Emily went to the hospital on Sunday night to be induced because she was five days past her due date. After waiting for progression throughout the night by 2pm on Monday, some progress was made, but not enough, so the Doctor decided to preform a c-section. I have heard it said; that when you hold your child for the first time is amazing and the same held true for Emily and I. A friend pointed out to me, after the fact, how unconditional love for this new child pours over you. Perry has plenty of unconditional love from all his family. What a fantastic picture of the Gospel and the same unconditional love God had for his children. We pray that one day God will reveal his Son, to my son, and Perry will join the Kingdom of God.
Romans 5:8, “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Meet, Perry Benjamin McBride

Kid McBride to join the Ride

Emily had just taken one pregnancy test and it said, +. But it was hard to tell so, I went to class and she went to buy a digital pregnancy test. Nothing like getting a text message in the middle of class that reads, “pregnant” followed by your gonna be a dad. So if you have not figured it out yet, we are having a baby. To be named by the highest bidder on an Ebay auction to come later (kidding). It has been a very humbling experience to come to grips with the fact that God has blessed us with a child. This is a huge blessing as Emily and I begin to build the starting nine for a Baseball team. Thanks for all the encouraging words and prayers.
