The Baby's Here, The Baby's Here!

Okay y'all,

Not everyone is getting a personal phone call but here is the quick rundown: (This morning I had planned on writing a lot more than I'm going to but it's been a busy 12 hours)

The baby was born 12 June 2008; 10:12 AM 3lbs 11oz 17 inches long (43cm to be exact)

Good News: The baby does not have gastroschsis and will not be having surgery!!!!

Last But not least

IT'S A BOY!!!

Yep the ultrasound folks guessed wrong so we don't have an Alesia Hope we've got a... yet to be determined. Send in your suggestions and maybe we'll have a contest.

CONGRATS!!! That is sooo great! Let's see, before WE decided on Quinton, I was going to use Oakley, Hoyt, Xavier, Orlando and Landon.

You are more then welcome to use any of those. Dennis and Cindy pick their names from the Bible. Just a suggestion.

Congrats!! What wonderful news!!

So these names are a little different, but I checked for names that mean Miracle...
Marvel = miracle in French
Eijaz = miracle in Arabic
Nisan = miracle in Hebrew

Also I found the name Amali, which means Hope in Swahili.

So, they're different, but maybe good middle names?

Congratulations! What good news that everything turned out so well!! I don't have a clue as to a good name though. Sorry. We are so happy for all your family. Soon you'll be together again.

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
You would think that in 2008 they could tell you what sex the baby is... I am so gald that things are better than thought. What is up with your family having babies on my kids b-days? We are more than happy to share birthdays with you. Miles and Zipporah were born on Kylan's birthday and now ______(fill in the blank)was born on Gavin's birthday. Good job Melissa! Also Malik, I am sure it has been tough being a single parent for the last little while.

Oh yeah! I am glad to hear your good news. I am so happy he doesn't need surgery. I kind of like Nisun. It's different but has great meaning.
