And last night at 6:32p: “Here he is.”
Baby Ian was born weighing exactly 10 lbs..
Aren’t he and Mommy both beautiful?

Congratulations! Is there anything in life more beautiful than the smile of a mother holding her newborn?
These are your best days. Wish it was me but I am a grandmother now. But I do miss those times.
Bethany, you beat me!!!! I just passed 38 weeks yesterday. Going to doctor on Monday! Congratulations. He’s beautiful!! Also, happy to announce my friend Melissa had a little girl the day before Easter! She lost her son 5 months into her last pregnancy d/t an illness called HEllP! He only lived a few hours.
Bethany and James – Congratulations! (From our family to yours.)
He’s beautiful. And the Cullman town mural will be a unique reminder for you all.
Hi Bethany!
I have been thinking about you lately and am so glad you and your beautiful little guy are healthy!
Congratulations!!!!!!

Congratulations Bethany! 10 LBS! Mine was only 5 lbs 12 oz, you deserve a medal.
Congratulations! He’s gorgeous!
Amazing that you look so great after your fourth delivery, Bethany!
This is what prolifers have that proaborts don’t- JOY!
So happy for you and your family!!!!
Congratulations on your beautiful boy!
So glad all went well.
There now is a baby named Ian,
To love him, you just have to see him.
And the one thing we know,
Is that nine months ago,
He was still a complete human being.
So congrats to our James and our Bethany,
May the days of their lives very blessed be.
And for Bonnie, poor dear,
Let’s all pray that for her,
Three brothers will not just too many be.
Happy Birthday Ian! What a beautiful picture of you and your Mom!
Congratulations! That’s one very lucky little boy that will have no shortage of hugs and kisses. :)
Congratulations to the new-again mom! Good luck- I hope- with breastfeeding again. Enjoy.
So much to love! He’s a blessing! Enjoy him!
O_o ten pound baby… my last (and biggest) was just over 7 pounds and I tore with all three (the last time I lost about a pint of blood just from the tear, which wasn’t so bad but still…)
Good job, Mom… Congrats! (I considered the name Ian with all my boys, so I like the name too.) :-)
Henrietta,
Lyrical. :)
Praise God! Congratulations on the newest beautiful member of your family. :)
congrats bethany! :)
Henrietta, what a lovely, witty poem! I’m sure it will end up in Ian’s baby book!
And congrats, dear Bethany… :)
Jill, and everyone…thank you so much for the kind words, prayers, and thoughts!!
And Henrietta, I am going to save that limerick forever! I don’t know how you do that…you’re so talented!
Yes, 10 pounds and this was my first time going without any pain medication- VERY painful experience but I am glad I did it!
Ian is 21 1/2 inches long and just such a sweetie… I feel truly blessed!

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BETHANY AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY!! “Children are a heritage unto the Lord and the fruit of the womb is HIS REWARD.” You are a blessed wife and mother. His is a beautiful, healthy baby.
Bethany and James,
Congratulations and blessings! What a beautiful picture! Happy Birthday Ian,.
That kid could play bass guitar with those fingers.
Congrats to Bethany
Bethany, I had my last two without meds also (it hurt so bad I probably would have wimped out and got the epidural but I didn’t have time – after my first, my babies started coming so fast there was no time for the anesthesiologist to get there). In retrospect, I’m kind of glad God didn’t give me the time to wimp out because I was glad not to have to deal with any of the potential complications for the baby (and the big needle in my back, yikes!). My first was born with depressed respiration because I had morphine too close to delivery and I knew after that I didn’t want morphine again… it was scary.
I can’t believe you braved a ten-pounder with no meds… you’re my hero! ;-) Seriously, you look great in the pic. And your son is sweet as all babies are. :-)
Congratulations, Bethany and family! He’s gorgeous!
Beautiful mother and baby. My congratulations to Bethany and her family.
Wonderful!
