For the 9 1/2 years I've been privileged to be friends with the Woman withe White Minivan, she has struggled and fought against her infertility. Two years ago, she finally seemed to make peace with it. Then God surprised us all when she discovered that she was miraculously pregnant last year.
This morning, he arrived! My little godson! I have welled up with tears of gratitude all day. He is here! I don't have a picture yet, but if he looks like either of his parents then he's a beauty.
She thanked me last week for helping her to carry this cross all these years. ( I guess that makes me her own little Simon of Cyrene.) "You've been there for all of it, even the ugly parts." She told me. "As much as you've prayed for him, ached with me, and rejoiced? He's your baby,too." Oh my dear friend....he's yours and the Air Force Guy's little miracle. I'm honored just to get to share in the joy.
Stats? Baby N weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs 12 oz and is 21.5 inches long! He's huge! I'm giddy! I can't wait to hold that big ol' boy in my arms and sniff the baby head!

Congratulations, that is great news!
Careful, though: I hear sniffing baby heads can be habit forming...
Hooray! Thanks be to God!
It's not very often that a blog post announcing the birth of a baby to a family that I don't even know can make a great sense of joy well up in my heart. Chalk it up to hormones or something else, but this one did :) Congrats to the godmother and the family with a white min-van!!!
Beautiful post and beautiful baby! Congrats to your friend (and you, Godmama!)
Congratulations!! I went back and read your white mini van posts. So amazing! What a wonderful story! You are inspiring. :)

Congrats! Such a beautiful baby, he looks all boy, I bet his hands are huge too. Makes me want another one soon. -Loretta
Congrats to BOTH of you mamas! God is SOOOOO good!
Congrats to the parents and godparents! I was just thinking of her a few days ago and wondering how things were going. (Isn't the Internet great, how a woman from Ohio can be thinking and praying for a woman she's never met from OK?)
Awww, he's beautiful. (Made me cry!) God bless this "new" family.
