We stand in awe of the miracle of life. The miracle of NEW life. The handiwork of God as Creator. And today especially, we praise Him for our precious new one that He so perfectly knit together! She's here. She's healthy. She's everything we could have hoped and prayed for and so much more!
Introducing the newest member of the Currie family: Miss Ashton Kate Currie
Born at 1:19PM on October 30, 2013 and weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz.
Obviously we are biased, but she truly is perfect. We just want to humbly thank the Lord for His goodness and grace in our lives in granting us another little girl to love and nurture. We pray that He grants us great grace in the days and months and even years ahead as we strive to point her to the Lord in all things. And our prayer is that along the way, as we parent her not by our own strength but by His alone, that He would sanctify our hearts in the process, drawing us closer to Him as a result! We pray that the One who granted her life would get great honor and praise from her precious life! We love you Ashton Kate and are so thankful you are a part of our lives!
And as a side note, what a difference one baby makes. This experience of giving birth to just one little one was unbelievably different and for the better! I was actually able to enjoy the entire day and be a part of the process! We are so thankful that all went more than smoothly and as routine as you could imagine. I was induced that Wednesday morning, October 30th around 7:30/8ish and by 12:30 was ready to bring this baby into the world! It went very quickly (much quicker than the doctors & nurses anticipated) and before we knew it, she was here! She has been a true joy so far and Kendall and I thoroughly enjoyed and soaked up our time with just Ashton Kate and all the friends we have misses since we moved from Birmingham.
The twins also exceeded our expectations in terms of how well they would handle mommy in the hospital, a new baby to care for, and being shuffled from one city to the next. They did fantastic all things considered! They were excited to meet their baby sister and were very sweet with her! We are so grateful for grandparents who have served us in more ways than we cold ever express making sure our needs were met as well as our sweet girls!
Thank you Lord for your sweet mercy in innumerable ways! We will forever praise your name!
We think you're pretty adorable little Miss Ashton Kate or Baby Ashton Kate as your sisters call you =)
We can't wait to see what your little personality is like and all that the Lord has planned for your life!
