Truett Dean Stringer
This is our little guy.
Born: August 16, 2009 at 3:42am
7 lbs. 15 oz.
21 inches
This is the best picture we have so far that is uploaded to a computer. During all the craziness of the 30 hours of labor (24 hrs. hard labor) my camera got knocked off the table it was on and broke. Grandpa Dean (Truett's namesake) had a backup and we used that. All of those pictures are on my computer at the hospital (with no internet access). I'm home getting a few things for Shana, showering, taking care of the dogs, and cleaning up the house before we come home tomorrow (Monday).
Shana did great. She was really tough and persevered. We'll write more about that later. The most important thing: Healthy mom and healthy baby. Both are doing great. Shana has that "new mom" look and certainly doesn't look like she was just in labor for 30 hours. Truett looks like his mama. He's been given a very clean bill of health by the nurses and our pediatrician. We'll be resting for the next day or so in the hospital until they release us to come home (prayerfully soon before classes start on Tuesday). We welcome texts, phone calls, and visits if you are able.
Thanks so much to all of you who prayed for us during the whole process. The Lord has entrusted us with this fantastic little dude. May He receive the glory now and throughout Truett's life!
Also thanks to Uncle Andy and Aunt Caitlin for the new Georgia Tech and Falcons gear (pictures to come).

Congrats you guys! I've been checking the blog often and was glad Justin had a text this morning when we got up for church. I love the name!!!

Shana, good job sister, I'm proud of you. Coming from someone who was in labor about that long too it's no fun, but totally worth it in the end. Praying for continued healing for you and a sweet bond between you guys and your handsome little Truett.
I love the name and congrats to you both your sweet bundle of joy!!!
