Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them...

We are proud to announce the arrival of our third little Wooten today at 9:00 a.m. at Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, NY. Laura Louise Wooten weighed 8 lbs., 13 oz., and was 20 inches long. Mommy and baby are both doing fine.

Those in the area can visit them in the hospital, where they will be at least through Saturday. Whether or not you are in the area, we invite you to see pictures of baby and sign the guestbook at her birth announcement website.

Prayers Requested

We're in the final stretch of this pregnancy, which has felt longer than any other, even though I haven't particularly been in a hurry for it to be over. My c-section is scheduled for Thursday morning, so I humbly request your prayers for me and for the baby. I hate having to have another c-section, but I am so thankful that I can have one, because otherwise I couldn't have a baby at all. I'm also extremely thankful for the impending visits of my mother and sister, who will be able to help me out for awhile, since I already know how hard it will be to recover from the surgery.

I'm looking forward to being able to announce that the little one is here.
