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!

    Her labor is done,
    but has just begun!

    A healthy, happy new year to all, with continued blessings.

    Hey Eric,

    Great news! I’m filled with joy for you and your wife. Fatherhood is one of the greatest joys a man can experience. I’ve experienced it 3 times and thank God every day for it! But, as with many things, joy can soon translate into sleepless nights! But, I can see that by now you’re an old pro at it.

    Congratulations!!!

    Merry Christmas Eric and Family

    The Lord is shining his face upon you this season with the priceless gift you have just received. I cannot think of a better time for a baby to be born than when we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

    My prayer for Judah is that he would be doubly filled with the Holy Spirit and set apart for the Lord’s service.

    God Bless your family at this special time.
    Merry Christmas

    Wishing many blessings, health, peace and happiness to Judah and your family. God had another plan for the Camtasia video… to capture those sweet words you have been waiting to hear. It’s time to go NOW. 🙂 Judah would love to hear that one day.
