Henry Truex Ottley - Oct. 7, 2008

It was an eventful day on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 when we welcomed a new baby boy into our family. Henry Truex Ottley was born officially at 12:03pm at the Chong Hua Hospital in Cebu City, Cebu Philippines.

Henry was the largest of our children weighing in at 3.8 Kilos (8 lbs. 6 oz.) and 54 cm (21.25 inches).
Take a guess. Do you believe this is a "before" or "after" picture? Believe it or not but this picture was taken within 5 minutes after Jill gave birth to Henry "all natural". Jill looks ready for a night out on the town.

The children at home welcomed Henry with open arms.

I love Jill most at these times. She is so dear and precious with our little ones. I am so grateful that God blessed me to have such a wonderful wife who was born to be an amazing mother of many.

Jill's doctor, Dr. Tan, is the one on the right. In my opinion, I thought she was the best doctor that Jill has ever had. I think Jill would agree.


Here is a picture of a dad of 5 children. Crazy to think what can happen in 7 short years.


Below is a video of the first two minutes of baby Henry's life.
