2. Hooray, Hooray! A name for Baby Scott. Now you’re not going to insist on calling him Charles Scott…in the Charlie Brown shows, besides Peppermint Patty, all the kids call Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown.

   Can’t wait to hear the rest of the details. What a blessing to welcome a little one!

5. What a beautiful name. I love the quote. I’ll have to check that book out. Congratulations on your new gift from God.

6. I like Chuck much better than The Round Headed Kid. ; )

   I think Charles Liam is PERFECT!

   Now I shall have to stalk to hear the details.

7. Congrats again and welcome baby Charles Liam!! Beautiful name, Amy.

   Remember how I thought you could name him ‘Binky’, after my bil?? Well, Binky’s son, my nephew, is Charles Scott. So, it’s all good. I affectionately call my nephew ‘Charlie’.

   Lovely quote from one of my all time favorite books.

10. And the sweet picture of your little girl holding your new blessing is just precious.

    Oh, it sure makes these last few weeks of waiting so hard!! I can’t wait for my new little one to arrive…it’s just the best, isn’t it?

14. Amy,
    What a great name! Charles is a family name for us too - my father and grandfather. Your precious little one may be someone’s “Pop Charlie” someday:)

15. I dared not leave my congratulations in the sea of comments yesterday lol. So, now that today seems a bit more subdued congratulations! That is about one of the best books I have ever read. My husband says that is my “mission” book to give to all my friends. It is so real! Can’t wait to hear your story and see more pictures!

    Blessings and Rest?

17. What a great name. Our little Charles is known as Charlie to us. His grandfather is Chuck. We love nicknames around here

    Congratulations to your family, what a wonderful blessing. Enjoy this time.

21. Sherri stole my thunder with the “blockhead” comment. LOL Congratulations again. I’m looking forward to hearing the story. Love the quote.

    Comment by Meredith B. (March 7, 2006 @ 5:31 am )

22. Congratulations, Amy! Love the name. My grandfather was Charles Walden Brooks N. (4 names)! I always thought it was such a pretty name. He went by Brooks, though.

23. May God continue to Bless all 7 Scotts! What a beautiful boy! Congratulations, from the Sarlos!

24. Congratulations Scott Family!A new child is always a blessing and loked-forward-to event. I agree with one of the comments above, it makes me excited and not-so-patient to hold my little one, and I still have 16 or so more weeks to go!

25. I wonder if any other visitor had to valiantly fight the urge to identify themselves only as Peppermint Patty and congratulate you on Chuck….

    It’s a beautiful name and such a handsome boy! Congratulations & welcome baby Charles!

    Comment by Becca (March 7, 2006 @ 11:17 am )

26. Becca ~
    You thought THAT?? Shame on you. I can’t imagine what kind of person would have had such a thought. ; ) ; )
    (you may take that as a YES!!!)

    Comment by Dawn C (March 7, 2006 @ 11:52 am )

27. Congratulations. I love his name. I hope it serves him well.

    I hope you are doing well, and I am looking forward to the story of his arrival!

28. What a wonderful name! Very good choice. I am so happy for you as you welcome your little blessing!

    Comment by Amber (March 7, 2006 @ 3:07 pm )

29. Amy, I’m a little late to the game here but still wanted to drop in to offer you a very heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS! God bless sweet, handsome, little Charles.

30. Congratulations, Amy and Rocket-Man!
    I enjoy your writings

    Comment by David (March 8, 2006 @ 12:10 am )

31. Congratulations! A well chosen name

    I love the quote from Stepping Heavenward! It has been awhile since I have read the book, so a very nice reminder of how truly blessed we are as mothers. Every day, not just on the day of our children’s births.

    May the Lord bless each of you with sweet rest and peace as you enjoy your newest family member!

    Anxiously awaiting for our sixth….4 weeks in counting….

32. What a wonderful strong name for a beautiful baby boy. Congrats again!

    Comment by Alice (March 8, 2006 @ 12:58 am )

33. Congratulations to the entire Scott family!
    We are praising God for the safe delivery of your son.
    God Bless and praying for rest and recovery.

    Comment by Diane (March 8, 2006 @ 6:06 am )

34. Congratulations! Given your P. Patty comment, I guess that means that we have to all identify ourselves as “Marcy” since she’s the only one who says “Charles”.

    OK, Amy. We have all the vital info. Go be a mommy. We’ll be fine here.

    Comment by Brendt (March 8, 2006 @ 7:49 am )

35. Congratulations on your new baby BOY, Charles!!! While you are basking in the light of a brand new SON after having 3 daughters, we are hoping for a GIRL on this one after 4 sons!!! I know y’all are just loving it! Besides this fact that it’s just a relief not to be pregnant anymore.

    Comment by Nancy Palmer (March 8, 2006 @ 11:29 am )

36. I sometimes visit, and I wanted to say congratulations! Very beautiful baby. The poem you posted was so sweet, I’ll have to look it up and find out more. God bless.

    Comment by Emily (March 8, 2006 @ 6:09 pm )

37. Congratulations, to the Scotts! Enjoy!

    Comment by Holly (March 9, 2006 @ 6:49 am )

38. Little babies in the home make a home come alive! Congrats on your new little blessing and congrats for choosing a name. My husband and I waited almost two months before we decided on a name for our children. We wanted the names to fit their personalities and they do…

    Comment by June Lady (March 9, 2006 @ 10:48 am )

39. Very nice name! Reminds me of Laura Ingalls’s dad.

40. Amy - I know I already commented, but I wanted to tell you thanks for including the Prentiss quote. It’s one of my very favorites - I even had it in mind to maybe paint on the nursery wall. You reminded me about it just as I was finishing up the design for Jack’s baby announcements (and yes, he’s been here for nearly 2 months and I’m just now sending out *announcements* - supermom, I ain’t) so I included it on the bottom. A lot of the announcements are going to people who think we’re nuts for having three kids. I’m just not able to enter a big theological discussion with all of them and I felt like this quote would be a good testimony. I doubt it will change all their minds about our mental status, but I hope it will at least give them something to think about.

41. Thanks for all the well-wishes, name suggestions, and prayers.

    If necessity is the mother of invention, I think you should watch out for me make an investment in my ideas. I might strike it rich with all the new inventions forthcoming.

    It was late in the day when we got home from the hospital, with our newborn in hand, stack of important papers, and a miscellaneous rubber squeezie thing. I was standing at the kitchen sink—doing whatever it is that I do there—as all the mayhem clamored around me. Someone wanted a drink, someone wanted to know what’s for dinner, and the baby wanted to eat or be changed. I don’t remember.

    I know I alluded to a birth story, but a few days have passed since I even turned on the computer. Maybe I’ll get it posted later today? Brendt mentioned above, “OK, Amy. We have all the vital info. Go be a mommy. We’ll be fine here.” And so it goes.

    While the rest of you carry on with your lives, I’ll be brainstorming during the wee hours of the morning. I’m inventing a contraption that makes dinner, nurses the newborn, and speaks kindly to the children simultaneously.

    And no, it’s not frozen pizza, a sling, and heavy dose of Starbucks coffee.

42. Great name, I particularly like Liam. I need a dog so I can name something again. I miss naming my babies.

    Comment by Dalene (March 10, 2006 @ 2:01 pm )

43. Ohhhh, if I could only hug you and get a little sniff of that newborn baby smell I would be floating along with you! CONGRATULATIONS and GOD’S BLESSINGS to you all.

    I love the quote from Elizabeth Prentis. I’ve had it written down for several years to use as a baby announcement again . . .but . . . there’s no announcement yet.

    God’s healing and love to you . . .Loni

44. Congrats on Chuck, I mean Charlie, no, no…Charles!
    Much more dignified! Blessings to all your clan!
    Now if Spurgeon was the middle name…you could have at least a year long of discussions on your blog over that.
    May God bless your Charles to be a mighty follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with a heart devoted to our Lord and His purposes all the days of his life!

45. [...] Insightful quotes “Here is a little mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God, and the body in which it dwells is worth all it will cost, since it is abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to your mothers heart, welcome to her time, her strength, her health, to her most tender cares, to her life-long prayers! Oh how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blest!” Elizabeth Prentiss’ Stepping Heavenward (Stolen from Amy’s blog) [...]
