Say hello to John Shepherd Thomas!
Friends, this is our sweet John Shepherd! He arrived one week ago today, on Tuesday, July 31 at 12:06pm. He was a bit longer and skinnier than June, measuring 7 pounds, 3 ounces and 20 inches long. We will call him Shepherd or Shep :)
Our prayer throughout this pregnancy was for a healthy delivery, a healthy baby, and a healthy mama. We graciously received all three, and have been delighted by God’s goodness to us in all things since then. Shep is a dream, June has been the best big sister and most patient girl, and John — well, as always, he makes it all possible and everything more fun. I can’t wait to share more, especially about his name – hopefully later this week!
Thank you, as always, for all of your love, friends! We love you!
Congratulations!! Welcome to an amazing family Shepherd. Em, your gratitude is infectious. Thank you for never taking life and health for granted.
Couldn’t have said it better myself, the love for life (of all stages!) is so evident!
Congratulations again beautiful Thomas family – little Shep is just too precious! What a blessing from our Jesus above x
Congratulations!!! Welcome baby Shep! Cannot wait to hear more thoughts. Wishing you lots of joy and love over these next few weeks transitioning to a family of 4!
Congratulations!! One of my friends growing up had a little brother named Shep. :) What a cutie! I’m happy to hear you all are doing well, enjoy this sweet time together!
Congratulations! So thrilled for you guys! He’s beautiful :)
