Gage Bryant



After some tenderness in my stomach late last night, my doctor decided to deliver my little guy to avoid a potential infection. Gage Bryant was born at 2:45 am. He weighs 4lbs, 5 oz, and he is 17 inches long--an absolutely amazing size for 32 weeks! He is healthy, breathing on his own, and the most precious thing in the world! It was a rough, nauseating surgery, and early this morning, I may have even said "This will be our only child" to my husband:) However, I am doing well now, recovering quickly. I was able to hold Gage for the first time a couple of hours ago, and if I had been able, I would have held him all night. He is a miracle, as every baby is, and we are so very grateful to have our son.

As an added bonus, and many of you have probably already experienced this, I fell in love all over again with my husband as an amazing father!'

Thank you so much for your thoughts, encouraging words, and mostly for your prayers!

HoorayHoorayHooray! Welcome to the world, Gage! Funny thing: I was just sitting down to check your blog, and just as I did, Olivia fell over and smacked her head pretty hard. She cried and cried, until she saw the photos of Gage. Immediately she stopped and said, "OOOh!" over and over. :) Guess you 2 were meant to be!

You are precious, indeed. And so very blessed to have such a wonderful Mama and Daddy.

By the way, Sara, Trisha let me know via a comment this morning. :)

I was wondering about you and praying all day. Since you hadn't posted earlier I figured something must have been happening.

Gage looks SO WONDERFUL! Wow, it is a true miracle that God helped little Gage be ready for delivery. I can't believe how big and long and strong he looks! God has been listening to our prayers!

That feeling of deepening love for your hubby will only get stronger as your little Gage grows up.

Congrats again and get your rest!
