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 🙂

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!

    And the combination of having 2 boys and 2 girls is great.

    I wish all the best for you and your family from the bottom of my hart.

    Have a Marry one! And be proud for all the blessings of having a beautiful family.

    Hi Eric~
    Congratulations to you & your wife!
    Hope & trust both momma and the baby are doing great and you all get home soon.

    You’ve probably seen this poem “On Children” by Kahlil Gibran, but on the chance you haven’t, I thought you might enjoy this.

    “On Children”
    Kahlil Gibran

    Your children are not your children.
    They are the sons and daughters of Life’s
    longing for itself.
    They come through you but not from you,
    And though they are with you yet they
    belong not to you.

    You may give them your love but not your
    thoughts,
    For they have their own thoughts.
    You may house their bodies but not their
    souls,
    For their souls dwell in the house of
    tomorrow,
    which you cannot visit, not even in your
    dreams.
    You may strive to be like them,
    but seek not to make them like you.
    For life goes not backward nor tarries
    with yesterday.

    You are the bows from which your children
    as living arrows are sent forth.
    The archer sees the mark upon the path of
    the infinite,
    and He bends you with His might
    that His arrows may go swift and far.
    Let our bending in the archer’s hand be
    for gladness;
    For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
    so He loves also the bow that is stable.

    Best wishes to your family
    and for your new son an extraordinary life

    Peace,

    Michael

    Congratulations! Judah, what a great name. And right in time for Chanukah – Judah the Maccabee. May he be as strong as his namesake was. Enjoy him and the rest of the crew this holiday season.

    Congratulations to both mother and father and the whole family.

    It is nice to have another one born on my birthday.

    Now you have to remember to separate the Birthday from Christmas.

    Blessings in truth,
    Dave

    Eric,
    Does this mean that Judah will get a birthday and a Christmas present every year? What a nice gift at Christmas, for mom, dad and the rest of the family. Blessings on you and your wife bro!
