Surprised by Joy!


The very proud grandfathers admiring Brady Randall, weighing in at 9# 2oz!

In Africa, there is a saying, "Man makes the plans, but God decides what will happen." The plans that we had for today did not include a trip to the hospital to meet this newest grandbaby, but we certainly were excitedly willing to change all our plans and welcome Brady into the world today (instead of next week, as planned!).
The proud grandparents!
 The proud father!

In spite of his great Apgar scores and his size, Brady had to spend a few of the first hours of his life in the NICU to be monitored more closely. We are thankful that everything seems to be fine.
Big brother Jayden was happy to see his mom again, and didn't quite know what to make of this whole situation. He was very concerned about all the "doctor's machines" surrounding his mother's bed, but he was very careful not to touch them and was also very gentle with mommy. It will be so fun to see his reaction to his new baby brother.
