Welcome to the World

He is finally here!

Roman Grey Ferney
Born February 14th
9 pounds even
We love him to the blue blue sky.



p.s.: Like the doctors suspected Roman was born with a cleft lip and palate and will have a few surgeries later this year. Read my post about it here.

  9. Roman is such an awesome name. My best friend and I had lunch today and she was born with Cleft Palat and Cleft lip and she was saying how upset she was that her parents never too pictures of her as a baby until she had all her surgeries. She said that she really wanted to see pictures of how she looked.

    then I saw this post and it made me happy. you're a good mama. Your son will appreciate seeing what he looked like through all the diffent stages.

    he's adorable. I hope you have a quick recovery and I hope he does well with all his surgeries to come.

    During struggles with my daughter's health, I think about my mom telling me that she believes that God chooses special parents for extra special babies. I have often reminded myself that "I Can Do All Things in Him That Strengthens Me" (Philippians 4:13) and "Every good and perfect gift is from above" (James 1:17). Congratulations on your newest blessing!

  12. Congrats on the arrival of your beautiful baby boy! My 'baby' boy, almost 15, was born with a bi-lateral cleft lip and palate. He is an amazing young man and his journey has made our entire family stronger.

  79. what a precious little man. a sweet birth date. and a good strong name. but i am biased, my muller grey was born on nov30th. muller was my tiny german grandmother's maiden name and grey (with an E!) is just one of my favorite words.

    my wish for roman is a easy-going, joyful disposition and an as-easy-as-possible first year.

    Bonne chance et meilleurs voeux!

  170. Congratulations on your beautiful boy. I was also born with a cleft lip. I had about 7 surgeries throughout my life. The technology and capabilities they have now would mean less surgeries for my reconstruction.
    I wish you all the best through the joy and challenges that lie ahead.
    Oh and I agree with a previous commenter. My family didn't take very many photos of me before my first surgery. I only have my hospital photo and an cracked polaroid to see what I looked like before.

  182. Hi, I know you don't know me...I'm Erika. There, is that better? :) I usually don't comment on blogs of strangers. My first was born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate. He's now 4 years old and has had 2 surgeries so far.

    Of course it is very difficult at times, especially handing my baby over for surgery, but I also have grown so much because of it. And you know I now have so many close friends from a cleft support group. I never would have even met them had it not been for my sweet boy's cleft.

    Here's a link to a poem that I love, maybe you've already read it? It's called "Welcome to Holland" and funny thing, I'm actually now living in Holland:

    http://users.erols.com/jmatts/welcome%20to%20holland.html

    So for what it's worth, I've been where you're at and wish you all the best. Keep taking photos of your adorable boy. You may find you miss his little cleft once it's gone.

    ReplyDelete
  183. a valentine's baby?! i can think of nothing sweeter. take care. and congrats. enjoy the newborn cuddling.
