I don’t know why I’ve been hoarding my links, but there are many, and lo, they are awesome.
Vivian wanted me to pass this along: We welcomed our baby boy into the world on Friday afternoon, Nov.14. We’ve given him the name Ezra Jacob Thiessen Unger. He weighed a cute little 6 lbs. 5 oz. and he’s doing really well. So far my recovery after the cesarean birth is going OK, though I’m definitely feeling the limitations of my body! We’re thrilled to have Ezra as part of our family. Thanks for all your thoughts and well wishes leading up to this birth!
YAY! Congratulations, Unger family!
