Welcome, Baby!
Moshe, 10 hours old
Praise Yahweh! We have a sweet little baby boy! Moshe Paul was born at 3:59am on January 23 (Ruth's second birthday). He weighed 7 lbs 14 ounces and he's just the cutest little thing!!
Yehoshua (5) woke up when Moshe was about 45 minutes old, and his first comment upon seeing the new baby was "I missed it AGAIN!" since he also slept through Ruth's birth 2 years ago (and wishes that some day he might be awake when a baby is born at our house!).
Eliyahu (4) woke up not long later, and came to the couch where Moshe and I were resting. He asked a couple questions and then, as Joshua wasn't in the room at the time, said "Does Dad know about this??!!" :)
And Ruth (2) ...well, she wishes that her "birthday present" could be carried around like her doll baby! :)
Moshe Paul was named after Moses and Paul in the Bible. Moshe is pronounced "MOE-shay". And one of these days I'll manage to get a picture when his eyes are open!
My labor with Moshe was longer than my previous two labors, lasting over 8 hours. Very different for me mentally, even though in the end I wouldn't say it was more difficult than my 3-hour labor with Eliyahu. But I'll elaborate on all that when I type up a birth story! :)
I've been resting and enjoying Joshua's immense help with the household and other children, as he's home from work this week. Things are busy, but we're so blessed! :)

I have to say that he is just beautiful, as have all of your children been. The hair on his head is amazing. I am so happy for you and your family. I know that you are well taken care of with such an amazing husband. My one daughter just had our first grandson in October, and our oldest daughter who follows your blog is pregnant with her 4th. She has 3 girls and this one is going to be another girl, we are so excited.! You never cease to amaze me Tammy. I just love your blog and you are so blessed. Thank you for letting us see your beautiful bundle:)

Congratulations!! So beautiful. <3
(On a side note, I forgot how the other names were pronounced so I checked out the "About" section in hopes of it maybe being there...or their previous birth stories linked there maybe. I'm assuming you've done some updating since that was written because all the links within are broken for me. :( When you get around to updating to include this little guy, you might want to check the links, too.)
Oh congratulations Tammy!

Tammy I had no idea that you were already nine months?!! Your pregnancy went by so fast though I'm sure to you it seemed a bit long by the end:)

Congratulations!
He's a beautiful baby, Tammy. Honestly (and this is from a completely unbiased observer) you have some of the most beautiful children I've seen. :-)
Isn't it funny how each child's birth can be so different? I know that my first and my fifth were my most difficult labors-my second was my easiest-there's just no telling....kind of like their personalities. ;-)
Enjoy your beautiful baby and having your dh home with you!
CONGRATULATIONS!
He's SO beautiful! Enjoy!
Congratulations!
SO happy for you, Tammy. Moshe is an absolutely beautiful baby boy! I'm looking forward to reading your birth story. Enjoy your babymoon, as Amy said! :)
Congrats!
Congratulations to you and your family. I love reading your blog and I admire your family. He is so sweet.....as are your other children. Enjoy and cherish them. :)
Congrats!
Congratulations, what a sweet, adorable little baby!!! He's absolutely beautiful. Love the name- I've known many Moshes in my life, though we (Jews) pronounce it a bit differently: MOE-sheh. In Israel, they pronounce it Mo'-SHEH.
Enjoy him!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Thanks for the note! I will put my geek hat on for a second, so please excuse my ramblings :) Hebrew names can be interesting in that there are a number living traditions (Ashkenazic, Sephardic, Yemenite, etc) as well as the development of the language. Eliyahu is an interesting example as the Massoretic text instructs tsere (long e as in prey) but in the dynamics of languages and how words rush together almost everyone I have heard say it truncates the sound. A linguist I was chatting with recently used the example "under" which technically has a break in the word but when spoken by natives who speak quickly the word in English elides over the break. Eliyahu is also "funky" in that the accented syllable "ya" has a qamets and there is a bit of discussion how the vowel was intended to be pronounced (probably a high o as in bowl, hence the Masoretic qamets looks like a union of a patach and holem). As for Moshe, in the Hebrew Bible the accent is the second syllable (i.e. how it is accented in Israel; Torah is another word I hear in the US constantly as TO-rah when the Hebrew is to-RAH). The final "e" is tough; the vowel is a short e (seghol) but it is the accent syllable and the final He is a historically long vowel letter. We don't "reconstruct" the Hebrew of any of our kids names (e.g. Yehoshua would have sounded a bit different in the Biblical period) and realize there are various traditions on how to read the vowels ... in Moshe's defense, the name was probably Egyptian (!) as mose means "son" in Egyptians. It is a good word play (Egyptian mose / son; Heb. moshe, related to to mashah "to draw out") so I plead the fifth!
Anyhow, we chose this name primarily on the merits of what a godly man Moses was, one YHWH knew as a friend and spoke mouth-to-mouth and face-to-face. Moses was blessed to see YHWH's Glory, was a fair judge, and humble leader who showed immense growth and faith in his life. We pray the same for our Moshe! The meanings of the word Moshe (drawn, son) are what we hope for him: That YHWH may draw him close and count him among his children.
Joshua's explanation (above)
Joshua's explanation (above) -- and after discussing it, I realized that I was wrong about the accent! Second-syllable accent, not first... though in my defense, when we say it I can't usually readily distinguish the accent! :)
Names and meanings
I just wanted to say that Tammy, you, and Joshua are very good at choosing names for your children! I think that it is great that you put as much thought and prayer into the naming of your children as you have (I can only assume you have put much heart into naming them as well)! I love that Moshe means "drawn And son" I think that the explanation of what Joshua wrote----though, a bit over my head with only an introductory tour of the Jewish language---was clear and succinct in the way he explained it, what I would give to be a fly on your wall at dinner time! (you must have some really neat conversations!)
All I wanted to say, besides, congratulations, was that I am encouraged by your family, and I enjoy your steadfastness in the Word and the direction from the Almighty...and I am always inspired to read stories of your family putting such thought into such things as naming your children---not only great names, but strong names as well!! you have quite an army ready for the world in the making! (and if the Lord was so interested in names, why aren't more people in naming their children?--this is me thinking of the story of when Abram and Sarai's names were changed, and the addition of the "heh" in both their names---names certainly seem to mean a great deal to the Father---)
Lastly, I wanted to know if you, Tammy, have read anything from "Above Rubies"-- a dear friend of me has given me a handful of copies of this magazine, and as the thought popped into my head(just now) I thought I would ask, and send you a link to their site: http://www.aboverubies.org/ I hope you can glean something from the readings you find (and at very least the copies that I have, that are almost a decade old, seem to be perfect for you!)
I wish you all well, and I hope you enjoy all the time you have with your lovely family!
~Jamie(PA)
