WALKER TATE OSTRANDER is here!!!  He was born on July 16 at 12:25pm weighing 6lbs 14oz and 20in long.  He has a head full of black hair and absolutely perfect! We are so in love!  

Everything is going really well.  The hospital has been so gracious and gave us a room to stay in with him so we have had a ton of bonding time. 
His birth mom was discharged from the hospital yesterday and we had a sweet moment together.  We assured her that would love and care for this sweet boy unconditionally and that we loved her just as much...and would continue to love on her.  Please continue to pray for her...she was very brave and courageous and she was so loving towards him during her pregnancy and those first 24 hrs. 

Ok...what's next you ask...

• AZ law is 72 hours after birth that the birth mom signs her consent forms...so that is Friday at 12:25pm
  
• We have our tribal court date set for July 31...later than we hoped which means we will be in AZ longer ...but we were prepared for the 2-4 weeks...going to be closer to that 4 week mark
  
• Stephen flies home on Sunday the 21 and my mom will stay with Walker and I until we are able to fly home

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey with us!  Your prayers are being answered and we are so very thankful for every little "God Moment" we have experienced.  

We will try to update more in the days to come
Love
Stephen and Amy
