Timothy Philip Sanborn May, 2009

He's Here!

Timothy made his grand entrance on May 15, 2009 at am in Tampa Florida. He weighed 3.32 kilos (7.3 lbs) and was 50.8 cm long (20 inches) long. He has lots of dark brown hair and we've been told by nurses and visitors to the ward that he is the handsomest baby there.

Mommy will remain in the hospital until Monday for recuperation. Timothy is in Intensive Care (NICU) because of difficulty breathing since he has fluid on his lungs. Please don't worry, it's not life threatening as far as we know. The doctor has told us, being in the NICU is a precaution. He is not eating due to rapid breathing, so he's on a drip. It's apparently common amongst c-section babies.

Samantha loves being a big sister. She need a little reassurance about being the center of mommy and daddy's attention. She has a new baby stroller and is having fun learning about how to take care of a baby.

The Greek name "Timothy" Τιμοθεος (Timotheos) means “"To Honor God"
his middle name "Philip" Φιλιππος (Philippos) in memory of Anne's brother is Greek meaning "Friend of horses"

God is so good and answered so many of our prayers for this beautiful baby. Mommy is tired but doing very well. Thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers. Please keep praying for our family. You can read more details in a few days on

"Rejoice in the Lord always, Again I say Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7 NIV

TIMOTHY
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: TIM-?-thee (English)
>From the Greek name Τιμοθεος (Timotheos) meaning "honouring God", derived from τιμαω (timao) "to honour" and θεος (theos) "god". Saint Timothy was a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys and was the recipient of two of Paul's epistles that appear in the New Testament. According to tradition, he was martyred at Ephesus after protesting the worship of Artemis. As an English name, Timothy was not used until after the Protestant Reformation.

PHILIP
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Scandinavian, Dutch, Biblical
Pronounced: FIL-ip (English), FEE-lip (Dutch)
>From the Greek name Φιλιππος (Philippos) which means "friend of horses", composed of the elements φιλος (philos) "friend" and ‘ιππος (hippos) "horse". This was the name of five kings of Macedon, including Philip II the father of Alexander the Great. The name appears in the New Testament belonging to two people who are regarded as saints. First, one of the twelve apostles, and second, an early figure in the Christian church known as Philip the Deacon.
This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians, though it came to the West by the Middle Ages. It was borne by six kings of France and five kings of Spain. It was regularly used in England during the Middle Ages, although the Spanish king Philip II, who attempted an invasion of England, helped make it less common by the 17th-century. It was revived in the English-speaking world in the 19th century. A famous bearer was the Elizabethan courtier and poet Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586).
