It's a boy!

Mitchell Rainer Powell is here! Mitch was born at 1:15am on Friday, January 8th... on his due date! We were thrilled he was a boy! It already feels like he's always been a part of our family forever. We have been blessed by the Lord with our baby boy Mitch.

While we have been in survival mode with Mitch nursing every 2 hours around the clock, we have enjoyed visitors meeting Mitch and have been so blessed by friends and family that have taken such good care of us. We are grateful. And I'm (Lindsey) extremely grateful for my helpful and encouraging husband. From 40 weeks of pregnancy, through 30 hours of labor, delivery and weeks of little sleep and a crazy life... we couldn't do it without our Dada/Rainer.

Here's our past two months in pictures:
