Yes, Tis the season where we commemorate the birth of God In the Flesh, but every year for the rest of my life, when December comes around I will also be celebrating the birth of another child. Last night, 8 pound 20 inch Nicholas Michael was born into the Shust Family.
Long story short, we left the house at 2:33AM, arrived in the room at 2:55 and Nicholas was crying by 3:18! His uncle Nick (pictured above), after whom he's named (who also shares the name of my Grandfather killed in WWII) came by at 5am, and we were able to introduce the Nicks to each other. I sent my Parents a picture they had to unscramble to figure out the name.
My Dad got it first. Maybe because it's now the name of his dad, a son and a grandson. He knows those letters!
Here are some photos from the day: hope you enjoy them and Thank you for ALL of the Congrats and the well wishes! They are MOST appreciated! We feel loved!

Awwwwww, YOUR BABIES ARE ADORABLE! Thank you for sharing your private family moments!!!
Congrats on the new bundle of joy, Aaron!
if someone would tell me how to post all the pics where they can All be enlarged (and not just the first one) I'd be grateful. sorry about that.
and if someone knows why hospitals don't use laundry detergent on their towels, I'd like to know that too. ;)
So cute!! Congratulations and may God bless you and your family!
Have you tried (http://photobucket.com) That's where I store my pix and you can enlarge them...
Aaron, I think it just depends on what size the original picture is. When I add an image from my computer...I leave it the original size, but click medium on the blogger image page when you add a picture. Then when you click on it on your blog page....it can be enlarged...Hope I made some kind of sense to you!
God Bless,
Amy
Ohhh and Congrats to you and your Family!
Ohhhhh! and the laundry detergent I think is because of allergies! haha. I'm not kidding.
I have long been a fan & am thrilled for you & your family-every generation. Thanks for the tweet!
he is a beautiful baby. congrats a
What a beautiful family God has blessed you with! Congrats and Merry Christmas!!!
Beautiful family! Well worth missing the Hawaii gig for! You can make the pictures bigger my changing the image size to large when you go to load them on the blog. I just had to do that on my blog. Easy!
God Bless you and your family!
Congratulations! When you upload the picture on the right hand side you will see 3 boxes--small, middle, large I think--click that before you upload the image. You also can choose right, left, center or none for the placement I think. Marie
Congrats again, BEAUTIFUL family! God is good!!!
Congrats and God bless you all!
Congratulations. You have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing with us. Thank you also for being such a minister of God's grace to our family. I wish you could hear our 7 kids (5 of them teenagers) singing "My Savior Lives" at the top of their lungs in our van. It makes me cry almost every time. ("My God He's always gonna be" - there is nothing else like hearing your kids sing that.) God bless you and your family.
My Uncle Changed his last NAME To ( of All Names ! The Name OF Nicholas ! So that NAME is Familiarly used BY My Relatives . This Uncle was as Generous , Selfless , And as Kind as The FAMOUS " St Nicholas " who was later fashioned into The Notorious Gift-Giving Elf , Santa Claus
All of This Uncle's Nephews Served in World War II,And one was a P.O.W., Captured By The Germans ! It's Wonderful To Remember and HONOR WAR-HEROES !
Even by naming Children After Them ! Congratulations!
Congratulations to you and your beautiful growing family!! He is precious and I love the name!! :) What a wonderful gift!!
Blessings on you all~
Happy Birthday Nicholas Michael! He is precious! Thank you for posting pics!

Congrats to you and your family Aaron!
I think if you just upload them as a large size, it should work fine.
Also, you can use Google Photos (Picasa Web) to store your photos and link to them in your post.
Your children are beautiful! Congratulations. Nicholas is adorable. Many of God's blessings to you and your family.
Sarah is beautiful! And Nicholas is so precious. Your two sons make me swoon. ;) I can't wait to meet him!!!

Congratulations to you, Sarah, and Daniel!! He's beautiful, and I think it's so special that you've honored your family with both boys' names. I pray for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, as you start 2009 as a family of 4! Thank you for sharing with us!

awww...
im glad your kids are not jealous. I dont know why but everytime a son or daughter came in their life but that child get jealous thinking that their mommy or daddy focus on that baby more than other ones.
i just dont understand that. i mean Mommy and daddy love their kids more and they always focused on you equal. kids always cry when mommy or daddy goes away. Trust me i been there.
kids were sacred because this girl i take care scream at top of her lungs because she want her mommy and some kids were scared. i have to tell them that it okay and the kid is missing mommy.
your freind in christ leyanet
