The Lord has blessed Colin, Jennifer, Annelise, and our extended family with a new life. Yes, Jenn went into labor early this morning. Colin called us at four-thirty to say they were on their way to the hospital. After almost seven hours of labor, Jenn gave birth to Nehemiah Bruce Paul Campbell at ten o'clock. Nehemiah weighed nine pounds and nine ounces. Needless to say, Jenn is tired, but feeling very relieved!
This afternoon, we took Annelise to the hospital so she could meet her new brother. It's amazing that Annelise is a big sister at only eighteen months old. Over all, Annelise was more interested in her juice cup than her brother, but that's to be expected for such a little girl. However, the rest of us admired Nehemiah's features and little personality. With the help of a pillow, I held Nehemiah for awhile. He was only six hours old, but very alert. It was neat to watch Nehemiah open his eyes anytime he heard the voices of his daddy (Colin) and sister. He also sneezed and yawned.
Below are a few pictures of this joyful hospital visit. I thank the Lord for the gift of Nehemiah. His name means "Comforted by Yahweh". Lord, I pray blessings over my new nephew, Nehemiah Bruce Paul Campbell. May Nehemiah grow up to put his hope and trust in Your unfailing love. I pray Nehemiah will be showered with Your comfort and mercy, so that he can "comfort those in any trouble with the comfort he has received from You" (2 Cor. 1:4). Amen.
