Baby Joel Update

Joel Stephen was born just after 6:00 this morning weighing in at 3 lbs. 2 oz. and 16 inches long--and seems to be doing well. They took via c-section this morning and in spite of his size they didn't rush him off to NICU right away because his APGAR score was a 9 out of 10! His daddy got to hold him, which they didn't expect he would get to do right away and last I heard mommy was recovering well enough to get to go see him soon. God is so good!

We went to see Toby and Stephanie at the hospital last night and they were trying so hard to hold their emotions together, but you could tell that this is obviously rough for them. Today however, they are the proud parents of a tiny little baby boy and all seems well! Please continue to pray for Joel and his family.
