A Beautiful Baby Boy

Posted on August 27, 2007 by Lisbet

  Mark Benedict arrived on Sunday, August 26th, at 1:30 am.  He weighs 7 lbs. 3 oz. and is 21 inches long.  He was born in the water after a very smooth and peaceful labor.   We are both doing very well and enjoying getting to know one another.    Each baby brings with him a deeper understanding and awe of exactly what we are participating in when we accept God’s Divine Plan. 

  I will post pictures whenever I make it downstairs to the pc.  My husband brought his laptop up for me to use right now.  Thank you all for the prayers!
