John and Chelsy Maxwell Expecting Baby #1!

This was posted on by .

We’re excited to share the Lord has blessed John and Chelsy with a baby due January 23rd, 2019!

We’re so grateful to have a family who not only values children but loves them. John and Chelsy announced with a creative flair. When you get to be the fourth one married and twelve nieces and nephews down the line, you have to think outside the box.

One Sunday, when everyone was gathered for lunch (except Anna and Mary were on their trip), John had his plan. When someone prayed to bless the food, John quickly taped Psalm 127:3 over our Scripture board. Opening our eyes, we looked at the board, and we knew someone had baby news! Yes, it could have been any of the couples, but the obvious grinning couple was John and Chelsy. We older ones hugged and shared congratulations. I loved watching the nieces and nephews as it dawned on them, and the talk began. Even Drew looked across the table and asked one of his cousins if they’d just heard the news! The nieces and nephews adore new babies!

Chelsy is just over half way and feeling great 🙂

Love,
Sarah

“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:
and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
Psalm 127:3

    1. John and Chelsy will soon be a family of 3, and unless this baby is quite late, they will have 3 January birthdays to celebrate. That will certainly be birthday month for them, at least for a season.

  14. Congratulations! What a wonderful blessing! And what a beautiful dress! Shes glowing! God is certainly shining on you all!

  15. Congratulations! A baby on the way is always joyful news. How did they keep it from everyone for so long since she would might be showing at this point?

    1. Yes, babies on the way are joyful news. There might have been some suspicions, but in respecting each couple’s decision on when and how to tell the rest of the family, we think it is better to be quiet and not ask but wait. Plus first babies don’t show as quickly. I don’t really think she was showing when they told us.
