As you may know, Hope Elizabeth was born last night. She arrived at 10:33pm, weighing in at 7 lbs, 2 oz.
Here are a few photos of of our newborn, Hope! The first two are from last night. The third was taken this morning.
“We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” (The Book of Romans, Chapter 5)
I love love love this. I know this has been a rocky road and that there have been times that you have looked up to heaven and asked..”seriously?”, but the divine plan is so good and our God is more than wonderful. Congratulations!!! Love you guys and look forward to more pictures of Mommy and Hope!!

Wow – you posted at 4pm about the beauty of snow, and 6 1/2 hours later you gave birth to your beautiful daughter! I remembered the comment about the full moon, and prayed for you when I saw that huge, bright moon rising yesterday evening!) Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS! It’s so exciting to see Hope after praying for her for all these months! I’m so relieved that she waited long enough to be over 7 lbs. I will continue to pray for each member of your family. Post pictures as often as you can! Love you!
