Well, I'm back home and finally able to take a few minutes to tell all the world that I can about our little girl. Here are the exact specifics: Amber Madison was born at 1:22 pm (est) and weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz and was 21 inches long. She has black hair and gray eyes. I was in labor for 20 hours this time. I must go, for now, I have many other messages to send out about our new little bundle. Thank you for your prayers for my little girl.

God bless!

Might it be possible for you to post a baby picture, like the ones of my granddaughter that I just put in the fellowship hall?

According to the faq's, you can't post pictures, but I can e-mail one to you, if you want me to. Just let me know if you want one, and I'll do my best.

God bless!

Maybe if we ask real nice, we can send one to Sr. Sears and she would put it on for us.

You can post it in the fellowship hall. The IMG code is allowed there.

What you need to do Gerry, is to upload it to your own webspace, that your internet server provides for you. Then you put the URL in your post like this:

My boys showed me how to do this, and I still check with them to make sure I'm getting it right before I post, if I haven't done it for awhile.

Um... it looks like you'll have to click on "edit" to see the command for putting up a photo. Anyway, while it appears that it would work here, Daryl probably doesn't want photos in this forum, so if you post it you should put it in the fellowship hall.

If you don't know how to upload a photo to your own web space, and you don't have any computer geek sons to tell you what to do, like I do, then you maybe you could send it to Daryl & have him put it on, or else send it to me and I'll put it on my web space. I don't have all that much on mine, and if I ever decide to put a lot of stuff on the 'net, I'll probably need more space from a free server anyway. Then I'll have to ask my sons what to do. It's handy having them around, but I don't know what I'm going to do when they grow up and move away. I doubt that I will have learned everything I might want to do on the computer by then.

Well, the picture of my little angel is there in the fellowship room. Y'all let me know what you think of her. I'm biased, but I think she's absolutely beautiful!

Angie

Well, sis,
You ARE biased, but you are also right...she is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! I can hardly wait to meet her! I can hardly wait to hold mine too! See ya soon!

HE is coming SOON!

Hard to believe, but she's already a month old! It doesn't seem like it's been that long since she was born! I am healing nicely from the delivery. She tore me quite a bit, and all seems to be well, now. I go to the doc for my 6 week checkup on the 3rd. I don't think there will be any problems, tho. If there are, God will take care of me. I'm breastfeeding her exclusively, and she is thriving very well. She seems sometimes to spit up more than I feed her, then she eats more. That's frustrating, but I manage. She's too young to sleep thru the night yet, so I am awakened at 11, 2, 4, and then we are awake from 6 am on. I don't get much sleep, and sometimes I forget my own name, but that'll get better, too. Anywho, just thought you all might like to know how things are going with Amber.

God bless!

Angie

Wow! She's two months old and went for her check-up yesterday. She went from 37 cm head circumference to 40 cm. Her height went from 20 3/4 inches to 23 1/4 inches. Her weight was the most surprising, though. She went from 8 lbs 10 oz to 12 lbs 9 oz. The first measurements were when she was two weeks old. She's bigger than my son was when he was two months old! Anyway, just thought you all would like to know about her.
