He has arrived!

Daniel Scott entered this world at 5:33 a.m. on February 5th! He weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. He has lots of light brown hair with golden highlights. His hands and feet were so big that they barely fit on the pre-cut cards for the birth certificate. Wow! Brian and I are overjoyed, yet exhausted. We came home from the hospital on Thursday evening and are developing our new routines. Daniel has been doing very well. We went to the doctor today, and he has already surpassed his birth weight after the initial loss. Now if we could just get him to sleep at night! He slumbers long periods during the day, but seems very alert when the sun goes down. Brian and I are just praying for sleep and enjoying this new little life God has created. He is our little miracle! We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Have we praised God adequately for such a miracle??? I think not!!!! Lord, we praise Your Holy Name!
Sis, you are looking like yourself again, a sleep deficit seems to agree with you. I'm so impressed with the sweetness of your maternal skill with Daniel. Brian, we're so grateful for you and love seeing you with your son. Blessings, God's protection, and our love to your family!

Congratulations Dad and Mom! Daniel is a very handsome baby. I am jealous of his hair. He has more than my 18 month old daughter. :) I can understand the frustration with no sleep. Parenting is never like the book...unfortunately. Jamin and I will pray for this new time in your life.
