Here are some photos of our new addition Stephen Alexander Howard "Alex" He was born Wednesday 9/24/08 at 11:20 am 7lbs 8oz, 19 1/4" long. He is healthy and just beautiful. I am doing ok. A few health complications..had to have a blood transfusion that Friday because of anemia and then my BP shot up on Saturday. It is still up and down but we are keeping an eye on it. Stephen is great and so proud to have a son. I will post again soon the story of the birth as it was quite eventful. Ella is a great big sister and loves her baby brother! She is having a time of adjustment but is enjoying her brother.
Congratulations, Holly! I'm so happy for you and your new baby boy! Love the name Alex. Tom is Thomas Alexander and now I'm wondering why we didn't name one of our sons Alex. Oh well. Jan looks so sweet holding him with your precious daughter beside them. Have a wonderful life with these two. Joy Rucker
Oh, Holly! How precious! He is beautiful! I am so glad to know about this blog!
I enjoyed talking to you this morning, and I am looking forward to hearing the praises as God moves on behalf of your sweet little Alex. We will be praying!
I am the wife of the most wonderful man, Stephen. We were married November 4, 2000 and after moving quite a bit we finally ended up closer to where we grew up in SC. Stephen works for Univ. of SC-Upstate in landscaping and I work for a non-profit sports ministry called Upward. I work in the Global Department doing Global Research. I love my job and hate to even call it a job. We have a daughter, Ella born in 2004 and is just flat out all the time. She is so funny and keeps us laughing and on our toes all the time. We also have a baby boy, Alex born in September 2008. He is just an infant but I can already tell he is very calm and laid-back. I think he will be more like Stephen, let's hope so. Ella is a lot like me and there is only so much we can take!!!
God has truly blessed this family and for Him we try to live and serve.
