Finally the baby has arrived

Early this morning at 4:16am, Che Che gave birth to this little boy who at this point is still without a name. This birth was an answer to prayer. Che was developing complications. She came for a prenatal yesterday and I didn't know if she was going to be able to deliver at Mercy. At 1 am I got a text from her saying that she her labor started and she was headed to the clinic. When I got to the clinic she was already there and seemed to be in a lot of pain. Everything checked out okay and she was able to stay. Her labor progressed well. It actually was almost exactly like her last one, as in the way events unfolded. I was so excited when it was finally time for her to deliver. There is always the possibility that a women will have to be taken to the hospital if problems arise during labor. I was happy that her labor was coming to an end and everything was still okay. We did not know the sex of the baby before he was born. Che che's previous 2 babies are girls, so having a boy was a great suprise. Everything continued to go well after the birth too. I am thankful for God's faithfulness. He blessed Che Che with a normal birth, and a healthy baby boy weighing in at 6.02 lbs. Please continue to pray for this family that both mother and baby with stay in good health and the transition will go smoothly.
