Jubilee B. Carrier was born on Monday, June 15 at 3:27 PM…6 lbs., 7 oz. and 19 inches long. We are praising God for delivering another blessing into our family!
My water broke at about midnight on Sunday and the doctor wanted me to go into the hospital right away, since my Strep B test had come back positive and I would need IV antibiotics prior to delivery. Usually I labor at home and get to the hospital for the last couple of hours, so being in the hospital right from the beginning (and that on only a couple of hours of sleep) made for a l-o-n-g labor. Contractions started off pretty strong but then kind of petered out for a while, which was discouraging. My body didn’t seem to want to cooperate. Eventually we got things going again, but by the time I was ready to deliver I still didn’t feel like the contractions were close together enough…between the discouragement and my tiredness I can’t say this was my best delivery BUT, God is faithful. Marc was a great encouragement, as always. And of course, in the end, it’s all worth it. 🙂
Here’s our crew–they came into the hospital through a downpour! They all love their new baby sister.
how precious! she is beautiful! CONGRATS TO ALL THE CARRIERS!

Congratulations! She is beautiful–so tiny and perfect.
Aww! So adorable! Is it just because their hair is all wet or do they all look really grown up! I have missed you guys! Congrats!
Had to check your blog tonight to see if there was any news and there she was!

Marc and Cindy,
I was soooo excited to meet the both of you and Jubilee at CHEO! I learned so many great things in your workshops and know that I will continue to benefit and learn from you as I start reading your books, The Values Driven Life and The Values Driven Family. The workshop on the scheduling and budgeting was great and I can't wait to start implementing the budget. I just wanted to say thanks for taking time to talk to me at your booth and for all of your hard work that you put into the conference. I will be praying for you and your family as you prepare to make your transition to Kenya. I hope we can keep in touch!
May the Lord's blessings be abundantly and continuously upon you!
Sincerely,
Micki
