Hey guys!
True to form, my pokey body took a full 42 weeks to finally get Baby Number 8 on the outside and in our arms, and it even 1-upped itself by going 2 days PAST 42 weeks. Huzzah, body. HUH-zah.
But he’s here (as of 4:17 AM Feb. 6), and he’s perfect, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
His name is Shiloh Christian, and he’s not a small dude: 8 lb. 15 oz and 22 in. long!
After 3 boys who have made it to the 42 week mark and measured in at 9 lb. 2 oz. (Simon), 9 lb. 1 oz. (Honor), and now 8 lb. 15 oz (Shiloh), it’s pretty evident that that’s just what my body does!
I’m working on his birth story (it’s gon’ be goooood!), but for now, I just wanted to pop in and share a bit of baby sweetness with all of you who have been waiting to hear!
Praise God from whom ALL blessings (especially those sweet, sweet babies) flow!
Like what you read? Like M is for Mama on facebook (pretty please?):
Hooray!!!
I stopped Instagram for February, and this was the one bit of anticipated news that made me hesitate doing such a thing. I’m glad you posted on here!! 🙂 Hooray and congratulations on another adorable baby boy!!!
He`s perfection !

Congratulations!!! He is beautiful!! It’s funny my Mom had 15 kids and always went 2+weeks late.
Wonderful little man, what a blessing!
We’re so happy for all of you, Abbie. He’s beautiful! And I totally agree with you: Babies are indeed some of God’s sweetest and most amazing blessings!
Congrats on that handsome little man!
Congratulations!! Such a beautiful boy!!
