The moment arrived when this precious blessing was delivered, and put into his mother's arms for the first time! Praise the Lord for His abundant mercies to us, through pregnancy and the birth of little Frankie!

Happy Birthday Frankie!

Eating supper on Tuesday night with the midwives and some friends from church, the Street ladies.

Playing soothing music during early labor...

Tuesday night we gathered around in the living room along with a neighbor/sister from church anticipating the birth. However, he wasn't born till the next evening=).

Emaline an Mrs. Street bouncing on the ball...

The ball really helped Mama with labor... 

Almost *time*! Dumping hot water in the tub.

What fun!

And there he is!

Weight was 6 lbs. 14 oz.

Heart rate is good... Everything looked good!

Awww.... Daddy loves his boy!
Look at that sweet face.

The Street ladies had to leave shortly after the birth, so Ms. Tiare got to hold him for a little while.

My turn.

The advantage of two cameras clicking at the same time... You get different angles!

We think Frankie looks like Bo.

The boys LOVE their brother.

How could you not???

Their sisters do too!

And, of course.... his Mommy.

This morning, Mamaw treated us to pancakes! She had some helpers=)

After breakfast, Lily Ann and I (and all the little ones for that matter) took Frankie out for a little newborn photo-shoot. He didn't open his eyes one time, because of the bright light.







Lots of hair!

What a little miracle!




All done!

"Yay! I'm hungry!" 
"O Praise the Lord, all ye nations: Praise HIM, all ye people. For His merciful kindness is GREAT toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth forever!"

Tuesday evening dinner with Mrs. Tyus (head-midwife) and her two students, as well as Mrs. Street with her daughter Tiare. Mama's water broke Tuesday at 3:30, so we called them up right away, as Mama usually has the baby pretty quick after that. But God had different plans, and it was 27 hours later (Aug. 26th @ 7:56 PM) that Frank Richard Feldman entered the world! The mid-wives ended up spending the night here and all day Wednesday, until things finally started picking up. It was a fun time!

We caught a humming-bird in our barn... It was worn out, so Alayna fed it sugar water and it recovered. (After I got some pictures=)

Keeping these energetic siblings busy while Daddy, Mama, and Alayna were out yesterday!
