welcome baby Memphis!

This morning at 5:42 the world welcomed little Memphis Gene Blackley born to Emily and embraced by the whole Blackley family. When weighed and measured the scales spoke of a full 7# 11 oz! This is a beautiful baby (looks like his mamma!) and we're all aching to hold him, especially his mamma! He has some 02 available through a hood but doing very well.

Thank you, God, for the gift of this new life. Thank you for the incredible grace and protection you've granted to both Emily and Memphis. Wrap your protective arms around them both. Provide Emily with the strength and healing she needs to be able to spend time getting to know her young son. You know every cell of this baby, every hair on his head, you formed him, you created him... Father be with Memphis now and strengthen and heal his body...
