Christmas Day, finally home from the hospital! Day Old Child
by
Carol Lynn Pearson
My day-old child lay in my arms,
With my lips against his ear.
I whispered strongly, "How I wish--
I wish that you could hear,
"I've a hundred wonderful things to say,
(a tiny cough and a nod),
hurry, hurry, hurry and grow
So I can tell you about God."
My day-old baby's mouth was still
And my words only tickled his ear,
But a kind of light passed through his eyes,
And I saw this thought appear:
"How I wish I had a voice and words,
I've a hundred things to say.
Before I forget, I'd tell you of God--
I left Him yesterday."

Congratulations Matt and Cher! Your baby is adorable!!! I want to meet him in person really bad. I just want to wait for the cold season to end. We are going to Mexico so hopefully when we get back we can come meet him
We love you and miss you guys!
Oh Cherstyn this post is so beautiful! It just warmed my heart. I am so happy for your family. What a miracle family you guys have. I can hardly wait to meet little Luke (LOVE that name) and see you all again.
Much LOVE,
Julie
Cherstyn - What a handsome little boy! I'm so excited for you and your family... I adore little boys and know you will have so much fun with yours. Congratulations!
You are right! He is absolutely ADORABLE!!! Love all the pictures! Your family is so beautiful Cher! I'm so happy for you you guys.
Congratulations! He is absolutely good looking! He was huuuuge! A medal for Cherstyn! He is perfect and looks lika 3 months old! Already a perfect gerber looking baby! I have rarely seen newborns who were that handsome!
Oh Cherstyn, I am SOOOOOO excited for you! I am so deeply happy for you and I can tell you feel that way too. Motherhood is the best thing in the world as you know, and even though you've already had the chance ot be a mother for quite a while, how wonderful to be able to experience the whole birth process! I'm just so happy for you. Gorgeous pictures!
Love, Shawni
Congratulations! So fun to see the photos. I check in on you from time to time through a link on my sister Kris' blog. 5 kids!! Amazing. Hope you are getting some sleep. There is nothing more tender and sweet than a scrumptious newborn baby and I always loved every waking moment. But there are LOTS of waking moments...! Enjoy. So happy for you.
love, Camille
Cherstyn, I just saw the pictures of the new little man. He's absolutely gorgeous! Tell your kids congrats on their baptism. How wonderful. Anastasia has chosen to be baptized on the 9th of April. We're so happy. Great times, great memories for all of us. Love, Cheryl Wendelboe
ps Amy Prager said she saw you. I can't remember how you know each other, but you're both so wonderful
Congratulations on your baby! He is darling. Sooo happy for you!
