Today, on the Giddens’ family blog, you will notice a little Baby widget that reads, “26 days to go.” Well, as many of you know, Nathan set his own date. Nathan was born to Tory and Kedra this past Friday weighing in at 7lb and 14oz and 20.5 in tall - or long - whatever a baby is.
Enjoy these Christ exalting words from a recent post at their blog,

When Kedra was 28 weeks pregnant with Nathan, we sat together in the living room admittedly afraid of the implications of his premature arrival. We read through Isaiah 40 and asked the Lord to sustain this pregnancy until Nathan was healthy enough to survive outside of the womb without having to spend a single night in NICU. Seven weeks later, we welcomed into the world a 7 lb 14 oz blessing. We are in debt to those of you who have prayed with us, and are happy to share this incredible blessing with you.

More so, we are reminded through Nathan’s birth of the one whose blood and righteousness recreates the heart. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come” (1 Cor 5:17). Indeed, the birth of a baby screams the mercy of God to the sinner. Thanks again for your prayers.
