Welcoming Joanna Grace Overholser!


Well she is finally here - her long expected arrival came at 10:47 am on August 3rd. She weighed 7lb 15 oz and was 21 inches long. Labor and delivery were wonderful, but not without some slight complications. We were so pleased with the birthing center, the staff and their quick response to any issues. It was beyond all our expectations. We have a wonderful happy baby, a recovering mama, and a new super dad! Joanna Grace has adapted to life outside the womb so well, sleeping and feeding great. She is just a precious little blessing and we are loving every moment with her! Jonathan has been amazing doing everything for baby and mama, since I am unable to do much until I can recover more.(I had some trauma and hemorrhaging that will make my recovery longer than usual.) We are so in love with our new little girl and ready to share this blessing with our friends and family! Thank you so much for all your love, support an prayers down this long road.

Joanna Grace will be one of the most loved little girls on earth. She has a whole "lotta" people anxiously awaiting the moments to love on her. Ps.128:6 (The Message) says to love on your grandchildren and we fully intend to obey this command!!!! What a privilege it is to have her as our heritage. What a blessing it will be to watch ya'll train her to love her Jesus. We will pray for you as a new little unit seeking God in training her in the way she should go. You will do an awesome job!
We love you infinity- Mom and Mark
