Baby Watch

...less than twelve hours to go

Just under twelve hours from now, Henry Adam Byrd will be delivered into the world after spending less than 34 weeks in preparation. I cannot begin to fathom the feelings and pressures that Ian and Alyssa are under.

I do know this: my son and his wife are among the two strongest and faithful human beings on the planet. How many of us would willingly take this step of faith to bring a child into the world, especially given the events of the last two years?

This picture, taken just a few days ago at the hospital by our friend Amy, is so descriptive. Alyssa, very pregnant and so beautiful, cradling Henry, with the footprint of Sydney Grace forever on her own foot.

I can't help but wonder what wonderful things are in store for Henry.

blessings,

Ken
