It's a Boy!

Our third son, Asher Knox, was born Thursday, June 29th at 8:34pm. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces, was 19 3/4 inches long and apparently had a head circumference in the 90th percentile. I could have probably guessed this as he presented the most challenge for me at the end, especially with "only the bullet for anesthesia" as the doctor put it. I can't really complain, though, because labor was a short 6 hours this time compared to 18 and 24 before. Asher has dark blue eyes and light brownish blonde hair. Both mom and baby are in good health and home today.
Bridger was able to come to see him just a few minutes after he was born and he is such a sweet big brother already. He literally giggles with joy when Asher does anything.

Thank you all for your prayers. It was a bittersweet time as we remember Joshua as well, but we are truly "blessed" as Asher's name means with this new little bundle.

Praise God through whom all blessings flow. I wish so much I could share this with you up close, but seeing the photos was a great blessing and as you said--it brought bittersweet tears to my eyes as I remembered Joshua as well. May God bless you and give you great strength as you parent your sons by His grace!! Keep the photos coming.

Congratulations!
I love the name. I was expecting something out of the ordinary from you, and you didn't disappoint. And the more I say it, the more it grows on me!
Can't wait until he can cook - I'm coming to visit! (Gen. 49:20) ...he'll even top Marilyn Cryder I bet. :)
