WOW!!! We can't believe he's FINALLY here!!! Praise the Lord!!! Both Reid and S are doing well in recovery - thank you all so very much for your prayers! And...as you can see... Baby P finally has a name! =) A short little background on why we chose his name... Reid's birth family has been praying for him by the name 'Michael' since they found out that S was pregnant. We loved that!!! The fact that he has been so loved and showered in prayers since the very beginning is such a HUGE blessing! So, we wanted to keep Michael in honor of them and this incredible gift that they are so selflessly giving our family... Michael "Reid"... feels so good to say that!!! We will be posting TONS of pictures by Thursday evening... so check back in!

Congratulations Holly and Ben!! We are so happy for you all and cannot wait to see the pics!
Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you guys! I too love the name story. Our adopted son's original first name was Caleb. When our adoption was finalized and the birth certificate was changed, Caleb became his middle name.
Riley-Grace has her grandmother's names as middle name, and Zachary had James' name as a middle name, but Matthew has a very special name commemorating his very special journey into our home and hearts. I love that you're honoring that journey in Reid.
How wonderful! And what a beautiful name! Waiting on pins and needles to see pictures!
Best name ever! ;) Love ya!
Yea!! We are so happy for you! What a BIG boy! Wow! Linebacker maybe? :)
Congratulations, Holly. My heart fills so full for you today. What a gift and a blessing...both for you and for him. Welcome to parenthood!!! It's the greatest journey you'll ever take. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the "little" guy.
Tears of Joy for You right now! I LOVE the name Reid. I'm so excited for your tomorrow! Praying it goes beyond all your dreams! CONGRATULATIONS Ben and Holly!
