Liam Brave
He was born last Tuesday, November 24th at 5:45 a.m.
6 lbs 1 oz
19 1/2 inches long
Isn’t he sweet? I am a little biased, of course, but I am so in love. My days are consisting of feeding and changing diapers around the clock right now. But I am trying my best to just enjoy every second because I know how fast each stage goes.
We chose the name Liam because (my husband likes the way it sounds when he yells it…you know, like at a football game in the future! Well, that was one of his reasons) it means strong willed warrior and Brave means Brave! I think we have confused a lot of people with the choice but for me it has a spiritual meaning. Just like we use the names Grace, Hope, Charity or Love for girls we wanted something that had meaning to us. And we hope he grows up to be a strong and Brave man fulfilling his purpose in life!
I hope you all are well! I probably won’t be posting quite as much as normal but I hope to check in every now and again for the next few weeks (I’m just trying to figure out how to get all of my Christmas shopping done!)
Love,
Trina

You are such a wise woman to appreciate each stage of his young life, and to understand how fleeting they are.
Thank you for the lovely picture and the update.
Wishing you all a very blessed and happy life.
