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.

    Congratulations Eric: To you and your lovely wife and family. Tirzah is absolutely beautiful. In the Bible there is a verse that says: “Blessed is the man whose quiver has many arrows”. Arrows means many children. And from the look on your face as you hold your beautiful new baby girl, I would say you are certainly blessed. I pray for God’s blessings on you and your family.

    God Bless All of You.

    Congrats and job well done. My son and daughter-in-love will be having their first baby in September. They have been trying for 11 years and had given up when their prayers were answered. I got to see the 3D ultrasound last Saturday. I totally embarrassed myself but I don’t care. What a blessing these little girls are!!! I am so happy for you and your lovely bride.

    Congratulations, Eric, to you and your wife on such a beautiful little girl! Congratulations to your wife for only having a single push, too. 🙂 … and to you for having such a beautiful, clearly loving, awesome wife and four other special gifts of God.

    You and your family are blessed because YOU are a blessing … and I pray the floodgates of Heaven are opened to pour out a blessing so great you cannot contain it … above and beyond all you could think or ask … to overflowing, for you let it overflow to others.

    Your complete healing, restoration, health are among the promises and blessings I know you are claiming, too, and we stand in agreement with you! So glad to hear you are better.

    Blessings,
    Margaret

    Eric; I look forward to watching your daughter grow healthy throughtout the rest of the coarse and beyond. I,ve just finished watching lesson #4 of, I think you said 100 total lessons. I’m 50 years old, and have no children (of my own), although I have always wanted to procreate. It is the one thing I regret most in life. So Eric please charish her for you have been blessed with yet another teacher of life.
