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!

    Congratulations Eric! From what little I know of you it seams like family is high on your list of what is important to you. I can only imagine how excited you you are.

    I thought of this when I read your post of the birth of your son. Here is a sight that brings up all the feelings that the birth of my two daughters brought to me.

    My daughters are 25 and 27 and they are both home for the holidays.

    They still inspire me to see the magic and the beauty in simple things and their presence of being who they are is enough.

    Your birth of your son, my daughters presence and the power point presentation of the snow and ice festival in the link above truly has brought back a feeling I am grateful for.

    Thank you for sharing the birth of your son and for sharing yourself.

    I originally received the snow and ice powerpoint in an attachment. I found the sight above to try and share with your blog.

    As I tried it myself I see that the music does not play all the way through unless you go back and activate it for the other slides.

    Even though it is not as good as my original attachment, I hope it conveys the feelings that I feel about the birth of your son.

    Congratulations, Eric mixed with a little humor. You made it just in time for another tax deduction this year. May God bestow upon you and your family more blessings than you could ever ask or think.

    Be Blessed,

    Nice Christmas gift huh? Priceless, and congratulations to you and the family, more especially your precious wife. Throughout all this journey of 9 months, she have been very patient with us (your readership)for being so generous in sharing her precious time with you with all of us. Even to the point of being in labor you were busy laboring for us. Words cannot express how much we appreciate your family. Thank you so much Bro. and the Good Lord continue to pour His blessings over your family,loved ones and all that you do. You still got 2 more to beat me though. I’ve got 5; 3 Girls and 2 Boys. And you know what? Great date of birth, my 21st. wedding anniversary too. 🙂
