IT'S A GIRL!!!

Lorelai Elisabeth Adkins born 8-31-09 @ 0904am. 5lb 3oz, don't have a length yet. Mrs. H. and Sprout are doing great! Talk about quick... 3 hours of real labor (her words, not mine), and we got to the hospital about 15 minutes before she was born. I told the Dr. that she would go quick...

Update--- My wife is a friggin' machine! She hasn't sat down for more than 10 minutes except to nurse. First words out of her mouth after Sprout was born...."What's for breakfast?" Here it is after 10pm and she's still awake and going strong.

Rules of engagement

Rule of Engagement... :)
Before we go any further here, I want to lay down some ground rules. As long as everyone follows these, we're golden. If you don't you will be zapped.
1. Remain civil. Mamma always says "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" If you find yourself getting angry by something I say, or something someone else posts, step back, breathe, say a prayer, then continue.
2. This is a Christian blog, so no profanity. I'll even zap my own posts if they break this rule.
3. All viewpoints are welcome, however see rule #1. I welcome all to post as they feel lead by the Spirit, but I will not tolerate rudeness or abuse in any form. Other than these three simple rules, Welcome Aboard!
