    The Amish Cook: Gloria and Daniel, It's a.......

    The Amish Cook

    By Daniel Yoder

    Our home is full of joy these days! Our little bundle of joy has arrived, we have been ooing and awing the last day over our newborn baby boy, Joshua David. He was born June 29th at 11:40PM. Saturday evening is when Gloria was showing first signs of labor, off and on till Monday evening at 9:30, and then she went full speed to the finish line! With unspeakable joy and gratitude to God he was born right into Gloria's arms. We did have a home delivery, so all was very quiet around here with all the other children
    fast asleep. Praise the Lord little Joshua seems to be very healthy. He
    weighed 7 pound and 4 oz and is 19 ½ inches long. I am holding him as
    I am writing this, he is a little charmer.  He has a really nice amount
    of dark hair and is super cute.

    Back to Gloria, she did such a wonderful job in bringing this little guy into the world. I will never forget those first moments! About 20 min after he was born, Gloria, Joshua, and I lay  in bed praising our Maker
    for the precious gift He has given us. Gloria is recovering very well, and she completely surprised us when she came to the dinner table less than 24 hours after little Joshua was born, And, Oh, the children are in their glory!

    fresh zucchini

    Shred that zucchini!

    Gloria is a mother hen with her new baby, and Julia is
    right on her heels. We had a couple of visitors and when little Joshua
    squeaked a little, Julia was right there giving some insights, like how
    he likes to be held or what he might want. You should have seen
    Austin when he was introduced to little Joshua; he feels so big having
    such a little brother, and he is right there to help mommy, like getting
    fresh water or snacks for her. And really, I wish you could have seen
    Rayni! She showed  so much expression when she met little Joshua, it was
    so precious. She is also pretending to be a little mommy with her doll,
    changing her all the time. It was so cute when she went to bed last
    night with her baby doll right beside her.  She feels so big also being
    a new mommy. Elijah is doing really well and loves his brother. Jesse
    does too, but feels a little threatened by Joshua. When Jesse first
    heard that Gloria was feeding Joshua, he became very frustrated  and
    said that he is not allowed to and declared that he's naughty.  With some time
    and extra loving his little world will all come together again.

    I plan to be here at home this week, helping do 'Mommy things'. Gloria
    will probably take a break next week yet, so stay tuned in for more
    updates in two weeks. I would like to share our zucchini casserole recipe
    that we have enjoyed countless times during summer months.
