It’s a boy!

By | December 20, 2008

This morning at 1:52AM my wife delivered our fourth child!

He was 7lbs 4oz, healthy baby boy. Mother and child are both doing great. What a tremendous blessing. It is definitely one of the greatest highlights of my life.

We have named him Judah. Here is a picture taken moments after his birth:

There is actually a bit of a funny story, as it relates to Eric’s Tips. Last night I was just finishing up the Bonus video for the review I posted yesterday. I had literally just finished stating my conclusion on the Camtasia recording. The screen capture was still running, and at that very moment my wife yelled down the stairs that she was in labor and we needed to go NOW!

So I ended the capture, and clicked “save” as fast as I could πŸ™‚

Needless to say, I got the recording done but haven’t had a chance to convert it to flash or upload it yet. But I will get it done as soon as we go home, and I’ll also be posting a preview of it on my blog.

Thanks for being a reader. I cherish your readership, and I’m glad I could share this joy with you.

Have a great day!

    Congratulations to you and your family Eric.

    Welcome to the world Judah, it was very thoughtful of you to wait until your Dad had all but finished his Camtasia recording before arriving. πŸ™‚

    Congrats to both of you on your new addition. What a wonderful gift for Christmas.
    And another assistant for your IM business.
    It will be interesting to watch children who grow up with web based business parents and how they will differ from others in their generation who have typical dollars for hours parents.
    He is off to a great start with your experience and guidance.

    Eric,

    Congratulations! A beautiful baby.

    If the audio track in the video includes your wife’s voice saying she’s in labor and you have to go, I think you should keep it in there…but that’s just me.

    Enjoy your new addition.

    Hi Eric,

    Congratulations to all of you and welcome to your beautiful baby! My oldest son was born on Christmas 19 years ago, and I went on to have four more. They are my greatest treasures in life. Children are such a blessing and you’ve been richly rewarded! Wishing you Christmas peace and a prosperous New Year above what you can ask or think.

    God Bless you for sharing so freely!
