I still don't know what to say: (extras for the readers)

Dear cheek-pinchers and their husbands,

As many of you have already heard the news, Racheal and i are the greatful parents of one Fisher Stone Pendergrass. If you remember, Racheal and i were planning on having an induction early last week. The doctor suggested we push that back, and so we rescheduled for Thursday, September 24. But alas, Fisher would not wait. On Tuesday night at 11:15pm Racheal's water broke and she began contractions within the hour. Racheal wouldn't let me have my fatherly right of driving her to the hospital so i sat shot gun. Nevertheless, we arrived and were promoted immediately to the delivery room and about 10:30 we learned that Racheal was fully dilated. For one hour fifteen minutes Racheal pushed as my mom, her mom, my sister, a nurse, and myself were screaming along with her. The doctor came in at the last minute to catch my son and gave me the honors of cutting the cord. What a thrill! Minutes later, after they cleaned him off, i presented Fisher to my wife, Racheal, and he looked her in the eyes for the first time.
They discharged us a couple days later and now we are at the Penderosa once again.
Please come by and see us.

PrayeRequests:

• Praise God for such a smooth delivery! Praise Him for our son. Praise Him for giving us His Son.
• Fisher has been so-so on nursing. Pray that we would be able to feed our son without having to supplement with formula.
• Pray that God would not let us be proud, but thankful. We have nothing to boast in except the cross of Christ (Gal 6:14). Fisher is a gift to us from the Giver of Life; relatively speaking, we have done nothing.
  

Quote of the Month:

I called Ma-maw, my 91-year-old great grandmother, to tell her the news. She inquired, "Is he white?"

Love,
†il the whole world hears,
corey reid pendergrass
