Here's Grant's announcement -

"What a day! Last night our little boy decided he didn’t want to wait another month… we were visiting Therese’s parents in Stockholm for the weekend Therese’s water broke at midnight. The decision was made to make the two hour drive back to Örebro to deliver our baby. After being in the hospital in Örebro for a little less than nine hours our little Elijah Edward was born… We choose this name because God laid it on our hearts that our boy will, “Go on before the Lord in the Spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” (Luke 1:17). There is so much to process, and many tears. Mother and child are recovering well… Now off I go to get some rest after quite an exhausting day."
