Canyon's First Video

This was taken shortly after Lornel nursed him for the first time.

Canyon Paul Curey

We are so thankful for the safe birth of our first son. He was born December 27th at 11:16 PM. He weighed 9 pounds 1 ounce and was 22 3/4 inches long. He spent his first night under an oxygen hood, but they removed the hood by morning. Lornel went into the hospital on the 26th and started Petocin around 2:00. She labored for 33 hours pushing hard the last 4. Canyon came out head first in the posterior position. A vacuum extractor was used to help him out. God has been so good to us. Thank you for your prayer and encouragement.

Christmas Greetings

Merry Christmas!
As you can see by the picture that we took tonight, we are still expectantly awaiting the birth of Canyon. Our bags packed by the door. Lornel has had some early labor symptoms but nothing to go to the hospital yet. On Wednesday, Lornel will be two weeks beyond her due date and will be induced. We are still hoping that labor will start naturally, but it is in the Lord's good hands :)

Psalm 130:5-6 (ESV)
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

We wish you a joyous celebration of one of the most important events in world history, the birth of Jesus the Messiah. Ponder the wonder of the incarnation. God becoming man in order to redeem His creation from sin and shame. Glory to God in the highest!

Rejoicing in the birth of God's son as we await the birth of ours,
Scott and Lornel

Thankful for...

• God's provision for all our needs and much more
• God's presence, promises, and plans- they are so good!
• A dishwasher (this will be very helpful when Canyon arrives!)
• Scott's shoulder is improving. (For those who don't know he dislocated it playing football last month. He has been going to PT and starting to see results from that. We are very thankful he is doing much better.)
  

Pray for...

• God to be glorified in our lives
  
• Strength
• Scott to have adequate bonding time before he has to go back to work.
