 Graced the arms
of her proud parents, Ben and Mandy Gatling

8 lbs 4 oz

Grayson Lan Gatling

Our tremendous blessing, Baby Gray, was born on Saturday, July 12 at 2:01 pm after 14 hours of labor. (Not too bad for a first baby.) She was 8 lbs. 4 oz. (just like her mom when she was born) and 21 inches long. All I have to say is that labor is not for the faint of heart.  Men, if you are fathers, go kiss your wives and thank them for delivering your baby. :)

Her pediatrician used a great euphemism when Gray was screaming her head off at her first appointment..."My she's opinionated!" Ha! I can see her father in her already. Just yesterday Ben was carrying her around the house and reading her the New Yorker.  She was wide awake and taking in all the details of world politics at only 11 days old.

We are enjoying our beautiful little girl. We are excited to see how God is going to use her in this world. We are praying for big things.

Love,  Mandy

Welcome baby Gray!

 'Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth,
 Among  them the blind and the lame, The woman with child and The one who labors with child,  together,
 A great throng shall return there...And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
