Baby Brendan is here! And he is sweet and healthy and has been about as active outside as he has been inside up to now. He is 7 pounds 15 ounces, pink up to his ears, has his birthday on the 15th (barely), and loves to talk already.

It's two thirty in the morning, so that's all for now... * smiles * More news later.

OH!!!!! Yay!!!!! Please give Mrs Lauser a big big hug for me, and tell baby Brendan I send him a kiss! Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you all!

I will!

*bounce-claps* Congrats!! =D Tell him a Vili-Bird sent him a wave

Congratulations, Lauser family! Give Brendan a kiss for me and make sure your mom gets plenty of rest . I'm sure I don't have to say this, but enjoy your little brother !

Just got the email from your dad. When do we get pictures?!

Congratulations, Lausers! The world has another genius in it.

I was so thrilled when I heard the news. It is bittersweet, though. I hope the news helps give Jay hope.

Give baby Brendan a kiss for me, Juliet. And give your Mama a hug. I was praying for them all day.

*Bounces* I'm so excited for you guys! Just today we prayed that Baby Lauser would come safely.

Yay! A new Lauser. Give him some MCP(Magical chocolate pudding) and a hug for me.

Tell him it is an objective fact that his family is awesome, and that we expect a lot out of him.
Then make an account for him and promote it to Marcher Lord.
The second part is optional ... but not the first

I'm so glad for your family! Give him a hug for me.

So much for my cousin being born on the same day. xD But I'm soo happy none the less! Oh my gosh! I want to see him so bad! I bet he's drop dead gorgeous! I know I didn't weigh 7 pounds. More like 2 I think. So happy he's not a pre-me like me!

Congratulations! I know Mrs Lauser has already had lots of hugs, but give her another from me.


So happy for you guys, what exciting news.

Very good to hear, thank God!

Welcome Baby Brendan!!! You are oh so welcome to the world!!

*Throws party streamers*

Welcome, baby Brendan! We've been praying for your safe arrival.

YIKES! Another Lauser!!!! *hides in his Lauser-proof bunker*
Just kidding Congrats and welcome welcome welcome to baby Brendan!

*laughs and elbows Jem *

Welcome to the world, baby Brendan! *gives baby Brendan a kiss* We are so glad for his safe arrival, and hope Mama is resting well! What delightful news!

Congratulations! This is amazing. I hope baby Brendan cheers Jay up. It's so nice to have another little face in the world. I can't wait to see what amazing things God is going to do with him! *kisses Brendan's tiny little cheek*

Wow, that's wonderful news! Welcome to the world, Baby Brendan! Congrats, Lauser family!

The poor darling... hardly been alive a day and he's already in danger of being kissed to death.

I saw this news first on Matthew's Facebook. It gave me great joy to know that God had answered our prayers and brought the baby safe into the world. It's a difficult time, and I hope his safe and healthy arrival reminds everyone of God's goodness.

Another genius is here! * giggles and kisses Brendan's cheek *

So many others have said so well many of the things that are on my heart...
So here is my prayer, Little Brendan, though you can't read just yet...

That you grow in the love and knowledge of God, first and foremost.
That you know who you are to Him.
That you grow in grace, and joy, and courage.
That His calling is your greatest motivator.
That you never let fear or injustice bind you.
That you NEVER give in, no matter what Satan throws in your way, no matter how hard it is.
That your faith is strong in Him.
That you seek him with your whole heart.
That you never forget that you were created by Him, and that nothing that happens is outside of His perfect plans for you. Nothing is wasted.

Amen, good prayer.

Yay! Babies are the sweetest things! Glad Brendan arrived safely!

I'm so glad Brendan was born safely! Now I'm gonna have to specify which Brendan I'm talking about. Congratulations, Lausers! Do we get pictures?

Brendan (* kicks Inesdar out of his name *) is doing great, and I hug him and kiss him extra whenever I hold him to make sure I get all yours in.



I'll see what I can do...

Oh, thank God! Again, another genius in the world!

*laughs*

That's wonderful to hear.

Praise the Lord! God is good!
Matthew told us on chat, right when he got the news. I almost jumped through the roof with excitement!!! *gives baby anti-deathbykisses medicine* There! Give him a kiss and cuddle him for me! I'm so happy!!!!! See? I just died happy! I can't stop punctuating with exclamation points!

(P.S. I know this is late, I totally forgot to check for a thread. But I did tell everyone I met in HW chat that Brendan had been born!!!)

How is Mama Lauser? Praying very hard for her.

Oh how exciting!! Make sure Brendan knows how many people died happy when he was born Can't wait to see pictures *coughhintcough* Give him lots of kisses from me!

Congratulations! I'm glad they're doing well.

I condemn y'all to loving him for the rest of your life.

AWWW! He's so cute! *Melts into a little puddle and is promptly condemned to loving little Brendan Lauser*

*starts the "HWer un-puddlifying machine and starts unpuddlifying Azlyn* Thanks for the pictures, it's nice to see the little guy we've been praying for!

*Is no longer a puddle* Well, good thing we had that handy. People melt quite frequently around here. However, I am still thinking he's adorable, melted or not.

* and then wheels the un-puddlifying machine back to The Closet of Invaluable HWer Restoraging Devices*

Awww! He's adorable!

Psst... what's his HW name going to be?

Happily accepts condemnation ! He's sooooo cute! *Hugs and kisses the sweet little Brendan*

ACK!!! I don't need to be condemned, I can't help it!!! HE IS SO ADORABLE!!!!!

Awww! That's a lot of cuteness smashed into a single baby. Tell him hi for the Holmeses! XD

He's a Lauser, that's for sure. Give him another kiss from me, Juliet.

Huzzah! I now have an order from Juliet!

He. Is. Precious.

Oh. My. Heavens. He is SO cute Even when he's crying It 's more like, esp. when he's crying *giggles*

Congratulations to the Lauser Family!
