Baby Boy Benting

He's here - two weeks early! Thus, no name yet. I got a call yesterday morning at 4:30 saying that Erica was in labor. I headed down to Battle Creek immediately. Erica said that after she called, her contractions got much easier - I said that's because I was praying that she wouldn't have the baby before I got there! (Elle came SO fast that I was afraid I wouldn't get there on time.) Well, it was actually 6 hours after I arrived that the baby arrived. Erica delivers at home, with no meds, and this one was pretty painful. She doesn't make any noise, but by the look on her face, I could tell. So they are now a family of 7! He was born at 12:10, weighing 7 lb. 7 oz. and is 22" long. I took Elle and Lyvia home with me and Ben's mom took Isaac and Zippora, so they are having a nice, quite couple days to bond and for Erica to rest. We are so blessed to have our 15th beautiful, healthy grandchild.
