Hello friends! I'm over the moon excited, to share with you this joyful news, that my daughter Amanda gave birth to a wee little baby boy on September 6th. YES! Just yesterday, we welcomed baby boy Swan into the world, via c-section.
As you may or may not recall, my daughter Amanda had another premature baby boy, "Jackson James" back in July of 2019 and sadly, he only lived for five days. Jackson weighed just over one pound. Amanda has had a tough time for several years, having lost 7 pregnancies to miscarriage and two live, but premature births (including this one). We didn't think this day would ever come, that we would have a baby this size and to the term that she was able to carry it. She made it to 36 weeks and two days.
My heart is overflowing with thankfulness and joy, to finally join the ranks of grand-parenthood.
And, for even more exciting news, my daughter-in-love, Allison, is also expecting a baby around December 3rd. Two babies in one year, joining our family. This is Allison's first pregnancy, and she is doing amazing!
Truly, my cup runneth over. By His Grace, and because of His Goodness, I am blessed!
Thanks for indulging me and sharing in my good news.
Thanks for stopping by!
