Callie Christine Andes

Well, that "little while" was not very long at all. I went into labor that evening (Friday), labored through the night, the next morning and afternoon, finally to see the face of our long awaited Callie Christine at 3:53pm on Saturday, September 29th. She weighed in at 7lbs. 14oz., and 20 inches long...and yes, I felt every bit of that 7.14 bundle's arrival. She is absolutely beautiful and I already can't imagine life without her. I have to say that labor and delivery was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and the most pain I have ever felt before, but also the most wonderful, beautiful event and priviledge God has allowed me to experience. And I need to say that JAMIE ANDES WAS AWESOME THROUGH THE WHOLE THING!!! Yes, I'm going to brag on you Jamie because I felt loved, supported, and comforted the whole time, especially when I didn't think I could do any more. And I didn't have to ask for any of it. Jamie, I love you the mostest...thanks for being everything I needed that night/morning/afternoon. You made it a lot easier and enjoyable for me. So, to sum up, as soon as I came to peace with "waiting for God's time," He made it happen...I often learn the hard way. Thank the Lord for His forgiveness and unconditional love. I won't talk anymore because there are pics you want to see. I will tell you that I love being a mom, especially to sweet Callie girl and this is the most wonderful time of my life. Blessings to you and yours. I'll update again soon.

It is good to hear and see the wonders of God's continual creative hands. Thanks for hangin' in there. We hope to see all of you soon. Keep up the good work, there is nothing more important than bringing the little ones we are given to the foot of the cross. Have fun with it.
