Today our family was joined by our 5th little boy, Gilead Emmanuel Black. He was born this evening by an unexpected though non-emergency c-section. He looks just like all his brothers did at his age, though he weighed more than the rest, at 7 lbs. 13 oz. (Simeon was our former record holder at 7-11). At 19 inches long, he's about average for the boys. He's got some light brown hair, but we expect it will all drop off soon and leave him bald for a year or so, just like his brothers. Gilead and Denise are both doing well. This Thanksgiving, while not traditional, will certainly be memorable.

Wahoo!! That's fantastic! Congratulations! He looks like a cute little guy (as all yours have been--you guys do good work all around.)

Can't wait to hear more when you are recovered. Hope you heal very well and very quickly.

Well blogger ate my comment! I'll try again!

Wow! I've not been reading blogs, so this was a great bit of news! Can we call him Gil like on Anne of Green Gables? Don't worry, I'm not nearby to give unwanted nicknames unfortunately!

I wish my biggest was 7#13! That was my smallest baby. You're amazing Denise, and I hope the recovery goes well. Take care. Love,

Alyn
