A New Star is Rising


Psalm 139:14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfull made. Marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows well.

all boy all beautiful
A gift from God
Elisabeth called home at 5:30 Friday morning concerned because her doctor did not feel Arnon should stay in his comfy home any longer. He was breach (an understatement as it turns out) and that all important amniotic fluid was quickly disappearing. After a brief trip home for essentials and to get one load of laundry started, Elisabeth was admitted and then waited for breakfast to digest. Arnon was born by c-section at 4:57 on Friday with daddy present and skilled physicians attending.
I, grandma, arrived about 11:00 pm Friday evening and there were some, due to the speed of the Internet and Face Book, that heard the news while I was still in the air.
The next three days were spent at the hospital (where Jed is a resident) totally absorbed in baby Arnon. Jed and arrived about 9:00 am and stayed until after 10:00 pm. He is a happy content baby, feeding well, alert and sleeping a little.
Elisabeth came home on Monday tired and happy. Sister Laura arrived on Monday afternoon as I was leaving.
Now comes the adjustment.
