Welcome to our world, Will!

Just a quick news update which I'm sure is probably not "news" now. Baby Bee came into our world on Thursday morning, at 4:05am, January 24, 2008 and was named William Stephen Scott. We will call him Will! He weighed 9 lbs and was 21 inches long. To say the least, it has been an eventful couple of days.

Mindy went to her dr's appt on Wednesday afternoon. We put Luke down for a nap and Grammy spent time with the Lord. I was in the middle of praying earnestly with the Lord re: when this baby was going to be born. I reminded Him I only had a little over 2 weeks left and prayed that Wednesday would be His day! While I was praying, Mindy comes in the door and asks-"Are you praying? Because I'm leaving in a few moments and will be induced and this baby will be born in a few hours!" Well, I took time to praise the Lord and then helped her pack, prayed some more for them and Luke and I here at home. It was an exciting day waiting for the arrival of Will- and sure enough Chris called at 4:45am Thursday morning (German time). On my time table it was still Wednesday 6 hours earlier! I thought it would be neat that Will was born on Jamie's birthday but also on his dad, Christopher's original due date 30 years ago! But either way the date has meaning since January 24 was my grandfather's birthday! I just love God's timing. There are so many examples of how perfect everything turned out and how all our concerns were taken care of by His wonderful care. I just have to give Him the glory and praise and am so grateful for our Heavenly Father's blessing on our "dear ones."

On Thursday, Chris came home and Luke and I drove back to Landstuhl to meet his baby brother. It was a beautiful, sweet time. I had packed a bag so I could stay with Mindy if necessary and Chris and Luke could return home. So, Chris and Luke had a good night's rest and Mommy Mindy, Grammy, and Baby Will did not! We were up all night taking turns with wide awake and restless Will- but it was still a special time and again I am so grateful.

We are all home tonight, Friday and now its Daddy Chris' turn to "bond" with his son, Will. Mindy and I are hoping for some rest.

Here are some special pictures we want to share. Thank you for all your love and prayers. Be praying for Steve (Guka) who will be joining us a week from today! YAy!

Just a comment on this photo- Wednesday night I was trying to sleep on the couch but try to be near the phone when Chris called. I was so "wound up" and couldn't sleep and this clock in the kitchen was ticking so loud it drove me crazy. I ended up climbing on the counter to take the clock down and put it in Chris and Mindy's bed and closed the door. When I arrived home today, It was on my bed with this note. I just love that Scott humor!
