Welcome Home Henry

Who is this creature in my house mommy?

New baby boy!!!

Henry Ethan Henderson born 10:13pm, May16th. He was 7lb. 12oz. and 20inch.

It was a long labor. 26 hours, but we pushed through and succeeded in having our first natural birth.



After long hours of labor and trying to get him turned (he was trying to come out face up), it ended in a rush and he came out with just a few pushes, much to our relief!

We came home this morning and are resting. Jared has a week off of work and we are looking forward to getting back to some sort of normal.

Snake in the House

We got home last night and were about to put Carolyn to bed when we discovered a small snake in her room! It wasn't poisonous, and it's only 6-8 inches long, but that didn't make me feel any better about it.Here's Carolyn eating at her new table and chairs.
Jared found out that he will be switching to first shift after Henry is born. It will be wonderful to be on a "normal" schedule.

We're having fun!



Where's baby Henry?

A hard week

Looking back at this last week, I sigh with relief. We survived. I've been struggling with a bad head cold all week, and Jared and Carolyn are recovering from some milder forms of the same symptoms. I've been doing my best to rest up and recover as quickly as possible as the due date inches closer and closer. Please be in prayer for us. We would really like to be in top condition when our son decides to arrive.
