A Boy!
We are pleased to announce the birth of our son, John William
Pruett! He was born on his Great Grandma Jan’s birthday, Wednesday, 16 July,
2014 at 11:06 pm and weighed 9 pounds, 10 ounces. He measured 21.5 inches tall.
John William is named after Zachary’s dad, William John “Bill” Pruett, a man
who means the world to our entire family. He is a true gentleman and a man whose
faith in Christ and willingness to help others will set a godly example for our
son. John means “God is gracious” and
William means “Strong-willed warrior.” We pray that our son would choose to be
a warrior in the fight for truth and be a strong witness of God’s grace. Fittingly, John is also named after John the
Baptist, a perfect choice for our son since his momma was named after the
Biblical Elizabeth, and daddy Zachary’s name is derived from the Biblical
priest Zechariah! We are so happy to have our little boy, and we ask you to
pray for good health for the entire family and a smooth transition to a family
of four. Pictures coming soon!

Waiting
The expectation. The wait. There are few times in one’s life
when the anticipation is this great. A child is to be born. A son or a
daughter. As eager as I am to meet my new baby, I don’t want to lose the wonder
of these last few days. It is bigger than Christmas. It is more unpredictable
than a wedding. Only God knows the exact birthday of this precious little
one. Zachary and I will know soon
enough, and it will forever be a highpoint on our calendar. For now, it is a
secret. A surprise of the greatest kind. Labor could begin any hour, but the
anticipation grows with each uneventful day. I pray for God’s perfect timing
and for a smooth labor and delivery. I trust that, no, I won’t be pregnant
forever. This baby will be born, and we will enjoy newborn cuddles in time.
Until then, I enjoy the wait – the expectation of a baby that is unique and
special and as loved as any child, born or unborn, could be.
