On August 25th we welcomed our son Henry Bihl Strong to the world. We have not stopped smiling since. The whole experience has been breathtaking and more than words could ever express.
Henry is Patrick's middle name and was his Grandfather's name. Bihl is my Mom's maiden name.
We have spent every day since just staring at this face...and thanking God for such a blessing.
Thank you all for all the e-mails, calls and comments. You don't know how much they have meant to me. I am so lucky to have such amazing and wonderful people in my life.

Your photos are proof of the verse: "Children are a gift from the Lord."!!! Blessings and happy mothering.
Just wanted to say congrats! It's a bit overwhelming at first, but just gazing at that sweet face will get you through many of sleepless nights. Best of luck & congrats again on such a beautiful little man!
ps: love the name - Henry is my dad & grandad!
Congratulations!! I was hoping to stop by and see a baby update. He is precious and the one of you two in the hospital bed is beautiful and made me teary! Enjoy every moment. XO
Oh Marianne!!!!! Congratulations!!!! I am so thrilled for you and your hubby! Lil Henry is adorable:) As I read your posts I could not help but think back to the time when we transitioned into a family of 3 (now we are 5). It was a challenging time for us but also magical. Cherish every little second. You only have one first baby and while I adore all 3 of my peanuts and adding them to our family was special and unique....the first baby is magical. You will never have this experience again no matter how many children you have. So drink it all up.
Big hugs!
Kim
I have big tears in my eyes and a smile on my face, he is just beautiful and the images of you two looking at him is priceless. Little Henry is adored and he doesn't even know it yet. He will in short order!! Congrats and God Bless you all, Kathysue
