With a baby that big, it shouldn't be too long!  Heck, he might need to start on something a bit bigger.

Really though, I'm glad to hear that you're all doing well. ;)

Well Congratulations buddy!! That's awesome. And on the 20th of April that's a great day for a child to be born into an appleseeding family.  A child born out of the fire of the American Revaluation.   Ian

The greatest gift that God could send He sends with love to you. A sweet and helpless baby boy an obligation too.

Each baby boy God gives to us is merely lent awhile to cherish, love, protect and guard from every snare and wile.

To form within his childish heart His image good and true. God bless this newborn baby boy and may He bless you too!
A Hessian captain (one of the 30,000 German mercenaries used by England) wrote in 1778, "Call this war by whatever name you may, only call it not an American rebellion; it is nothing more or less than a Scots-Irish Presbyterian rebellion."

"I need not take much pains to show, that the principles of this system, are extremely pernicious, impolitic, and dangerous. Here is a revolution as radical as that which separated us from Great Britain."  "I Smell A Rat!"  Patrick Henry

"Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled... They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I knew it not"  Hosea 8:1 and 4
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."  Psalms 33:12

*whistled about he weight* I would have been even more impressed but he falls in third for the biggest baby I've heard of in the last two months :P. Yay for midwives!

He shares his birthday with David Brainerd and me :D

Blessings on the journey that's just begone.
Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own.
