Joel David Has Arrived!!!








What a day we had yesterday! As the previous post said, Jennifer was scheduled to be induced for labor yesterday at 7:30AM. Jennifer's mom had made it in from KY on Tuesday afternoon, we were all packed up and ready to leave for the hospital at 6:45AM when Jenn's water broke! Everything progressed so rapidly! She didn't need pitocin and was ready to start pushing at 11:45AM. At 12:38PM, Joel David Smith discovered America! He was 8lbs 7oz and 20 and one half inches long. Everything has gone so well. We are praising the Lord for his goodness and mercy to us.

I've posted a lot of pictures on facebook and I'm working on getting a link set up for you all.
God bless you, and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for praying.

-Josh & Jenn & JOEL!!!

Congratulations!! He's adorable!

I'm so happy that things went so well...and quickly! And I'm thrilled that you were able to skip the Pitocin and labor on your own.

Enjoy your precious baby! God bless all three of you. "Children are an heritage of the LORD..."
