The Baby Is Here!

Praise the Lord, Joshua's arrived!!!



Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:
and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
so are children of the youth
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
-Psalm 127:3-5

God is so good!!! I'm an aunt!!!
Joshua James Gregory Blanchard was born at 4:30pm!! Christa and baby are healthy and doing wonderfully!




I'll get y'all the weight, measurements and maybe a photo or two as soon as I can!

In Christ Alone,

Jessica

P.S. Mom and I are flying to see Daniel, Christa and Joshua tomorrow morning and we won't be back till Tuesday, so if I don't reply to y'all's comments, that would be why. :-) God bless!

Congratulations Jess!!! Since you have the camera, you will have to post LOTS of pictures. Tiffany is not there to do it, so I'm relying on you!

Congragulations Jessica! Have a good time in Texas. It's just starting to warm up a tad here. I don't know what it is, but whenever I go back to Texas it's like a therapy...Something about the way the air smells so....refreshing, and warm.
