Yes, I’m an Auntie again! 
Our main reason for going to NY was so that Mom could deliver my sister’s 8th baby. Mom, an experienced nurse and midwife, and has delivered four of Sharon’s children! Ever since we’d heard the good news nine months ago it’s been decided between our two families that, even though we live miles away, Mom would be there again to deliver this new blessing into the world.
Dad an Walter had to stay home and work, but Nate, Angie and I excitedly joined Mom for the trip. Our prayer was that the baby wouldn’t arrive before we did, but soon afterwards. 
God answered our prayers exactly, for not two days later “Hannah Naomi” was born!
Labor apparently went by quickly, ’cause I missed the whole thing! One minute I was sleeping soundly on my cot in the basement, and the next I heard my nieces and nephews whispering “guys! Mommy had the baby: it’s a girl!”
What joy! Babies are so, so precious – a true blessing from the Lord. Hannah has been getting a lot of loving, as you’ll see in the pictures. With so many eager arms about, she was never without someone to hold her.
Isn’t Hannah just so cute?
