The Permanent Man Blog #9 - She Had A Baby

Parker Benjamin - 6/10/13

While I had planned to show the cover for the first episode of The Permanent Man, this week's blog update isn't about the series at all.

That's because my beautiful wife gave birth to our third child this past week. Parker Benjamin was born Monday at 12:40 a.m. He weighed in at 8 lbs 9. oz. and was 21 inches long. He's the runt of the three children as the other two came in at 9 lbs. 7 oz. and 9 lbs. 10 oz.

If given the opportunity, every husband should take advantage of the chance to see his wife give birth. I've had the privilege to witness this three times now. Each time, I'm amazed at the sheer beauty, strength, and endurance my wife has as she puts forth every effort to bring our child into the world. It brings joy to my heart that she is the mother of my children and I can't imagine my life without her. Husbands with expecting wives now and in the future, do not miss this chance to grow closer to your wife in a way you could never imagine and see your child take his or her first breath.

See you next week!
