Kiersten Isabel Anne Stryker was born today at 1:35 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. The proud parents are our friends Jeff and Barb Stryker. Jeff and Barb lead our small group at Church. Kiersten has six (6) adoring siblings to dote on her: Pieter (14), Annika (12), Stefan (10), Sascha (almost 8), Katrina (5), and Shane (almost 4).
Kiersten is, according to the nurses, a "miracle baby." When she was born, they discovered that her umbilical cord was tied in a knot. Most babies die when this happens, because they don't get the necessary nutrients and therefore starve to death. We're all giving thanks to God that Kiersten was delivered two weeks early!
We can't wait to meet Kiersten. Here's a pic from her "baby webpage" at the hospital. Woody is excited about Kiersten's arrival, too. He loves the Strykers, and is thrilled about another kid to play with.

did you also hear that since he was a jacka** and said that Sharon's illness was punishment for withdrawing from the Gaza Strip that the deal was in jeopardy? And people support that man...
