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!

    Don’t expect any Christmas presents to compare with this one.

    A beautiful name to match a beautiful baby boy.

    You must be doing something right.

    Congratulations Judah for choosing a family that loves having kids.

    Tell Mom & Dad that you want lots more brothers and sisters.

    We have lots of kids around here with 6 kids + 1 grand child and 10 and growing foster kids.

    Never a dull moment here but they make life interesting.

    Love to Judah and your family.

    The root of Judah is Judah which is Hebrew in origin and means ‘Praised’.
    A great name for a fine youngster.

    Babys are wonderful! Enjoy him, along the the three you already have. They do not stay young very long. Enjoy each age as it goes by.
