The Arrival of baby Jaedon

My sister had her third baby this week. This time she only had one boy in there instead of twins. He was a beautiful boy of 6 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long. They named him Jaedon Joel Crawford. He's a wonderful edition to the family. His older brothers, Preston and Peyton, are the proudest two year old big brothers.

Jaedon's already distinguishing himself as an individual. When he was first born he looked a lot like brother Preston when he was first born. But since then, as his swellings went down, he looks more like a combination of the two. He much quieter than the twins were and has only cried when hungry or when the nurse was checking him. His first hours of life in the real world, he was wide-eyed and took in all that was around him.

I had the amazing experience to be there in the delivery room with my sister. It was a surreal and wonderful miracle to witness. To see Jaedon coming into this world was a beautiful reminder of the grace and love of God for us. He really does know how to give His children good gifts. And I was thankful to know He had brought into this world another child to bring glory to His name. I pray that Jaedon will magnify the Lord with a strong love and humble heart.
