Florida triumph of March Madness
April 6th, 2006 by Benjamin Wagaman.Categorized as family, personal.
As you know, March was the 9th month of our pregnancy. Kelly kept getting bigger and we wondered if James would ever come. Kelly was induced at 12PM on the 3rd of April. During the UCLA-Florida game were some of the hardest hours of Kelly’s labor, but it was worth it because as of 11:45am on the 4th, we had our handsome little man, James.
We are so happy to debut our James on the wagaman web. Here’s our photo gallery from his birth. If you click on the thumbnail, you can view a larger version of the picture. When you’re done, hit the back button on your browser to view the next picture. Enjoy.
Congratulations! We rejoice with you on the birth of little James.
Congrats! What a cutie!
We just got the announcement today. I was asking often that morning to others. Nice meeting your dad from the porch, Kelly
You look like you are doing well. Congrats.
So looking forward to meeting you new bundle of joy, the Wickers
I’m so glad he finally made it out!
Love you guys!

Hi guys! I am SOOO happy for you. James is precious- what a blessing. It’s been so neat to be with you through the process of beginning to pray for a child to the day of bringing James home. What a blessing, to grow up in a strong, supportive Christian home. I know you will be awesome parents.
And Kelly Wags- how do you still look so put together after having a baby?? With cute earrings and all. =^) You inspire me.
Love you!

Congratulations on the birth of James and we are glad everyone is healthy and doing well. Uncle Bruce and Aunt Sandy sent this to Ben’s Aunt Fay and she forwarded it to us. Our prayers are with you for wisdom in raising James and bringing him up in The Lord Jesus! Our baby is a dog Sparky.

Awwwww, he so cute. Congrats Ben and Kelly! I’m glad everything went well and that little James is finally here. I’ll have to come over and see him soon.
Ben, when are you going to start teaching him Ruby on Rails?
Only nine more days until we can see you for ourselves James. We are grateful for the technology of digital cameras and computers to bring you to us already. You are indeed a blessing from heaven. You are so lucky to have such loving parents to raise you.
See you soon!
You guys are killin us! Looking at little James makes us want to have kids
He’s SO adorable! Congrats!
Omigosh, Ben and Kelly! I could not stop smiling while I was looking at the pictures and video (I’m still smiling!). I’m very happy for the both of you (and little James too b/c he has a great set of parents)! Praise God for the miracle of birth. :o)
PS. I totally agree with Amy’s comment - Kelly, you look like you could be in a magazine!
