Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
I love this old hymn. Today, as I tend to my newborn baby, remembering that one week ago we brought him home from the hospital, I think of this hymn and how blessed we are!
Weston Carl Barnett was born on Wednesday, September 4th at 12:14 AM. He weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces and measured 20 inches long. The birth was difficult because I had back labor and Weston was born "sunny-side-up." God showed His goodness and mercy in so many ways, though. My labor lasted only 9 hours, which I hear is relatively short. My husband was an incredible coach, tirelessly applying counter-pressure on my lower back to help relieve the pain. My doctor happened to be on call that day, so we were privileged to have her deliver our baby. She was the best! She followed our wishes exactly, and we were able to have a natural, drug-free, Bradley birth! Finally being able to meet our baby was amazing! He is absolutely adorable, with thick dark hair and thoughtful, alert eyes. We love him! We are so blessed!
