Welcome to the world, Selah Sofia Heneise!
We welcomed our new daughter into the world on Sunday! She was born at 1:00 Austin time, a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Bethany and Selah are both doing wonderfully. Selah got blessed and dedicated by our pastor on Monday. We’ve just been lying in and enjoying the feel of a brand new person.
We gave birth at Austin Area Birthing Center, and we couldn’t be happier. The midwives were so wonderful, and the environment was peaceful and comfortable, more like a bed and breakfast than a hospital. Everything about it just made for an awesome birth experience.

Not sure how but somehow I totally missed this news. Congrats to you, Ryan. What a huge blessing children are, and so much moreso when we know the Father who created them just for us! May the Lord bless you even more…
