New Life

Welcome to this world Jonathan Shields Milligan.

My dear (brave, amazing, strong, courageous) friend, has just brought new life to us. The new mom delivered this child without drugs...can you imagine that people? (I can't because I can't even imagine birthing a babe. It sort of scares me to be honest.) I am so proud of Jennie, she chose to walk into fear, and defeat it through the birth of JSM. I just spoke with the new mom, and she told me the story of water breaking at 4:30 am and a baby coming at 9:30 pm. As I heard the details of this story, I myself was gasping for breath, and trying to find a way to at least sit comfortably. But, this story fills me with JOY, just knowing that this child is here, one that we have prayed for for 9 months, and I will continue to pray for for all my years, if I am so blessed.



Congratulations to the new Mom and Dad, and welcome to your new son! Thank you already for sharing him with me!
