"Slow but steady progress wins the race." ~ Aesop's, "The Tortoise and the Hare"
Never in my life has this fable held more meaning than watching LIW labor for 47 hours. No, that is not a typographical error…FORTY-SEVEN HOURS!!! And, LIW was nothing less than amazing for each every one of the forty-seven.
Then, at 2:35PM in the afternoon of Sunday, October 12, 2008, the world heard for the first time the most brilliant cry of Colin Jeremiah (aka - Little Life). He is a healthy baby boy weighing 6lbs. 14oz. and measuring 20 inches in length.
Tired from nothing less than an epic labor, Mom is resting and recovering well. As for Dad, he is incredibly proud of the love of his life for her "slow and steady progress" and he is tremendously happy holding his perfect little boy.
~ Mr. LIW
