Tobin: meaning "God is Good"
(and this little guy is a testimony of that truth!)
Baker: After our favorite place, of course!
I apologize that I have not posted sooner. I felt especially bad after sweet Wilma commented asking if we were all ok. I cannot express to you how much your concern meant to me, Wilma! As things seem to go with a newborn and little ones, the hours roll into days and the days roll into weeks before you know it. As Justin and the big kids tromped off in the rain to church this morning, I decided to rest at home for one more week and determined to write this blog post. I promise, a full birth story will come - for now, I'll share that I'm recovering from a c-section so the first week, especially, is kind of a narcotics-induced blur. But we are all recuperating quite well and are loving this little guy even more than we could have imagined. Nursing is going great. We seem to be easily settling into a nursing and sleeping schedule. Big brother and sisters are enamored with their newest teammate. And so many unexpected blessings... God is truly good and He knows what is best for us! The timing of Tobin's arrival could not have been more perfect for everyone.

Welcome to the world, Tobin. I am so happy with this post and glad that everything is "coming along." We are the parents of three biological children and felt that our family was complete. God surprises us sometimes because when our youngest was 12, He decided we needed another child, a little boy, 10, who was in foster care. This is a long story too, but I will just say that He knew what He was doing. That little boy is now 39, married and the daddy to three children.
I am so glad that Tobin is here. Thank you for the beautiful pictures. Continue to take care of yourself while you care for everyone else.

Yay! Obviously, I see your posts of FB, but I never tire of seeing pictures of this cute little miracle! I was just telling my mom about you. I started off telling her about the dream I had, the one where you "decided to have triplets". I still think that is so crazy!
Anyway, glad all is well and the adjustment seems to be a smooth one.
Congratulations! He's adorable! It looks like life is good as a family of six. So happy for you!
Wow he is such a big boy! Congrats he is soo cute. I love his name and the meaning behind it. Looks like you have your hands full. I hope he is being easy on his mama as far as sleep goes. I left the comment before too, but it didn't let me log in.
Yay!!! I only get on facebook every once in a while, so I'm glad to see some of Tobin's info all in one place on your blog! And I can't wait to hear the birth story!
I'm so glad the nursing is going well for you! It can be a difficult (but rewarding!) thing to do :)
I can't wait to hear more about life with FOUR kids :)
Love you!
Mart
