Welcome, David Peter Gallant!
This morning, Kristi and I welcomed David Peter Gallant into the world at 7:13 a.m. He’s a healthy 9lb 4oz and 20 1/2″ long. Mama and baby are well and resting after a night-long labour.
David Peter is named in honour of my brother Peter David, whom the Lord took to be with Himself at birth. Kristi always wanted a David, and every generation on my mother’s side except my own has had a David for probably hundreds of years, so everything came together for this one.
This was the first birth I have witnessed. It was an amazing experience, and I am overwhelmed with delight, praise, wonder, and joy.
