Worth the wait....
Yes, to our shock we sit here as a family of 5 (us, a new baby and the 2 dogs of course). I'd like to introduce the world to Declan Isaac. He was born August 25th at 1:35am weighing 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. He came home to us this afternoon. Our pain and sadness this last week has melted away and we feel our prayers were answered and all we can say is God is SO GOOD. Here is a teaser picture for you (we only have hospital ones from a week ago)...

Praising God for an answer to many prayers on your behalf.
"Yet Abraham did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. Romans 4:20-21
Lord, you do have the power and you have done all that you have promised! Continue to strengthen the faith of Ashley and Mark as they witness this miracle of life in their lives. All glory be to you!
Hallelujah!
So very happy for you and your beautiful new baby boy. God bless you all!

Oh my gosh, Congratulations to you both!!!! I've been praying and hoping you would get your precious gift from God. I literally started to cry when I heard the news and saw the picture. Enjoy every minute of being parents, because it's the best gift God can ever give.
God is Good!
Congratulations! You guys deserve it so much. I can't wait to hear all about your motherhood journey.
Ashley, you should have seen me try to contain myself when I read your text message. I was hyperventilating!!! AT WORK! We still can't wrap our heads around this -it's what God had planned this whole time. Having a newborn is definitely a challenge, and SO WORTH every single moment. WE cannot wait to meet your little guy! Let us know the MOMENT you're accepting visitors!
ps- Good luck with your first "over night" at home! Feel free to call me ANYTIME with questions :) AM, PM, anytime.
Wow! Congratz! He's precious. So glad he's home with you.
So happy for your family...I've been praying that this past week was the time Declan's birthparents needed to make the best decision they could live with, and that you & your husband would keep the faith...and God has blessed your family immensely! I am so happy you are now a family of 5!
I cannot wait to see the pictures of Declan in his bedroom, with his puppies, and more of him with his MOMMY & DADDY!
Our little man is now 7 months old & he came home to us around the same time yours did...cherish every moment (I know you will!)...it goes by so fast!
I'm so happy for you!
BTW, he's not a HUSKER fan, is he?! :)
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you - what a wonderful resolution.
I'm totally open for questions and calls too if you need it...can't wait to meet him and give you the hugest hug ever! I'm getting all choked up and teary just thinking about this amazing miracle. He's precious! Wow!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!! I am in tears after reading your awesome news! I have been following your story from almost the beginning and my heart broke for you with your news last week. I am so thrilled for you that it all worked out. You are going to be great parents and Declan will be so loved. Congrats again and enjoy him!!
OH MY GOSH!! MY heart LEAPT for you both when I saw the picture! CONGRATS ASHLEY AND MARK! We are SO happy for you!! We wish you the best with this new little sweet addition to your family!
His mercy endures forever!
