It’s a Girl… Again!

By | June 28, 2011

First I want to say a big “thank you” for all the kind words and prayers after my recent Let Them See You Sweat post. I truly appreciate it. I’m still taking it day-by-day, but the great news is…

I was able to be there to support my wife and witness the birth of our 5th child, Tirzah Raelle.

She was born on our 12th wedding anniversary… what a great gift!

She was 7 lbs, 3 oz, and mother and baby are both doing great.

First, I have to brag on my wife and show you a couple pictures I took of her less than 24 hours before the birth…

As usual, my wife was amazing and was nothing short of inspirational. She was also very blessed this time around to only have to push once!

And here are some pics of Tirzah only 1 day old…

Many Eric’s Tips readers have now been with me (as subscribers) through the births of 3 of our 5 kids. Amazing.

Thanks for letting me share my joy with you.

Eric

    I have strong words of advice, get out a video camera and use it once a month, birthdays, Christmas (around Santa) . The years pass very fast, my youngest is 20 gulp. They love to see themselves as kids looking at the video footage I did, running around the garden, down slides etc. Congrats Eric

    Eric, as a man of faith doesn’t it just blow your mind and break you heart to know that many people actually believe that such miracles as a baby are but a by-product of “Chance”, the god of mathematics (1st name of which is Notta). Praise be to the Tribune God who created and sustains us all.

    Congratulations Eric,
    Hope you talked to her while your wife was carrying her before her birth. I did at night…would talk to her and tell her to go to sleep. She would be kicking mommy, then she would quit. The first day in the hospital while she was laying on my wife’s chest, I walked in and said “hi Janelle” and she lifted her head and looked at me because she ‘knew’ my voice. As we are to ‘know’ the Father’s…the nurse couldn’t believe it…she was born on Mother’s Day…and turned 18 last month already.
    God Bless.

    Congratulations Eric to you and your wife. That is a beautiful girl you have there. Well, do you have your quiver full yet. The Lord said he would bless you with children that could be shot out as arrows and that you could have a quiver full. I am sure you will be able to point them in the right directions as you follow the Spirit within you. Be blessed and may the Lord continue to make His face to shine upon you. Peace my brother in Christ.
