Please Welcome - Geldan Erik Milligan

Geldan Erik Milligan


Here's Shiloh holding Geldan.



The birth went beautifully. It was about 3 and 1/2 hours from first contraction to birth. Kim called me while I was on my way home from a day of Piano tunings - around 5:30. When I got home, we ate then called Kim's mom and the Midwives. They arrived around 7 or 7:30, and Geldan arrived around 8:55pm. Kim did great. She's fine and healthy. Perfect baby boy. Wonderful company. Great and marvelous God. What a blessed day!


Here we are just after delivery.


Here's our Midwives.


Geldan is 8 pounds, 15 ounces. 21 inches long.

Congrats!! What does Geldan mean?

The word "yield" is derived from the Old English word "geldan". Erik means "Eternal Ruler". So, his name points to his (and our) need to yield to the Everlasting King Jesus. God has been teaching Kim (and me) lots of ways to yield all things to God's sovereign and wise counsel.
