Meet Malachi Luther Schuette

For You formed my inward parts;

You wove me in my mother's womb.

I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from You,

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was not one of them.

Psalm 139:13-16

Malachi, An angel; God's messenger. Of Hebrew origin.

The day began with Elizabeth experiencing contractions early this morning. We arrived at the hospital and began to be monitored around 10 a.m. From that time till 5, Elizabeth had contractions every 4-7 minutes but the labor wasn't progressing. Our doctor thought it best to go ahead and proceed with the c-section. The c-section went smoothly and we were both excited to see our little boy for the first time. After the surgery, we all spent a couple of hours in the recovery room before we were able to be moved to our room. Due to the fact that a lot of women are having their babies today, we are sharing a room with another family. The Lord has been gracious in so many ways and Elizabeth did great through it all.
