Atticus James Kubecki was born January 31, 2007, at 4:17 PM EST. He weighed 7 lbs, 14 oz. at birth, and measured 20 inches. Mom and baby (and Dad, too!) are doing fine. Please pray for the continued health of the baby and Mom, as well as for his big sister McKaylyn, who spent the day in bed sick. (And praise God for friends like Chad and Jenny who are taking care of Mc during the delivery and hospital stay!)

OK, first of all, shame on me. Almost four weeks into 2007, and still no posting.

As you can see, the baby is doing just fine. He got his biceps from me, of course. (Note that the picture is a little old – it was taken 12/16/06).

Shannon, at almost 37 weeks (!), is ready to have the baby. She hasn’t been feeling well, and her BP has been a bit difficult. So please keep her comfort and health in your prayers.

On the plus side, they will most likely not let Shannon go the full 40 weeks, so they will probably induce early. The next posting on this subject could be a baby pic…

Until next time…
