On March 26, 2015 at 2:52pm after about 11.5 hours of labor we welcomed our baby boy into this world! He was two days past his due date and totally worth the wait! My labor was relatively easy and the hospital was the best we have delivered at! Noah weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 inches long...our biggest baby! He is absolutely perfect and stole our hearts at the first ultrasound, but getting to hold him...wow, there aren't really words!
Each of our children's names were chosen very carefully and each have special meaning! Kaylee meaning "Who is like God" comes from Josh's Grams middle name "Kay", Josh's middle name "Lee, and then she has my middle name of Suzanne. Naomi's name means beautiful, gentle, and pleasant (which she is all three), and her middle name Skye was just one her Daddy liked. We also named our baby that we lost Dakota Zion which means forever smiling. He or she is in Heaven forever smiling with Jesus!
Noah's name is no exception! With the blessing of dear friends we named our son after my childhood pastor who passed away in 2009. Pastor Noah was instrumental in shaping the person I am today. I sat under his leadership for a good portion of my life and he was the pastor that reached out to my father and discipled him after he came to know Christ as Lord and Savior. I pray that our Noah will follow the path God has for him and be a world changer the way Pastor Noah was. Noah also means "rest or peace" and he has brought much rest and peace to me after our loss. His middle name was chosen by Josh and means "light giving" and that is our prayer for him, that he will shine the light of Christ in this world!
He will be three weeks old tomorrow and these three weeks have flown by! I am so thankful to the Lord for blessing our family once more!
