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.”
I miss the little guy! I’m sure I will be watching this video over and over again. You better be posting lots of these videos as he grows!
This is great! Thanks so much for making that!
Emily! I am so happy for you! I pray that the Lord pours his blessings on you and you new family. You have a beautiful son! You and your family are in my hubby and my prayers.
He is GORGEOUS!!! congratulations… Kevin and I are praying for an easy adjustment and lots of rest for you all… enjoy this young stage before you know it He will be turning one!
Congratulations Ms. Emily!!!! We are so happy for all of you. The kids got to watch the “video”… Tob thought it was pretty funny that Perry “stuck his tongue out at us”! : )
Wishing you all of the best!!! Enjoy every minute, before you know it he’ll be heading off to Kindergarten on you?!?!
How precious!! Em he is so handsome! Jacob watched the video with me and thought it was so funny when Perry Benjamin let out his little cry. He said, “he doesn’t cry very loud.” I can’t wait to see you all. Tell Ryan hello for me and give little man a kiss from his Aunt Carol.
Love you!
