Happy Birth Day, Little One!

On Friday my sister had an appointment with the midwife. All looked great! Everything was ready for a home birth. Her midwife was joking about moving in, as she missed little C's birth two years ago, and had missed three other births at the exit where my sister lives.




Well....... Around midnight my sister's water broke. She texted her midwife, and said she is going to try to sleep a little before anything happens.

Little L, however, was in such a hurry, she was born 1:05 am - before either midwife made it. I missed the birth by a minute, too!



Midwife J arrived!



Daddy cut the cord, midwives attended to mommy, and 4-year old E met her brand new baby sister.



Midwife student B did the newborn exam: Little L is perfect!



Two year old C met baby L. Look at all that hair!



Saturday morning big brothers B and N met baby sister before I was up. Nana "met" baby too, via FaceTime. And a little later Muori and Vaari in Finland did the same.



Welcome to the world, baby girl! We love you!

What an amazing miracle birth is, so sacred and beautiful. I feel privileged and blessed that I was able to be here for little L's arrival to the world. God is good! All the time.

Perjantaina siskollani oli aika kätilölle. Kaikki näytti hyvältä, ja valmistelut oli tehty kotisynnytykselle. Kätilö vitsaili aikomuksestaan tulla asumaan siskoni luokse, ettei missaisi tätä synnytystä. Siskoni edellinen oli syntynyt kätilön oppilaan avustuksella.

Mutta niin tuli pikkuinen L maailmaan nopeasti, etteivät kätilöt ehtineet paikalle ennen kuin vauva oli jo syntynyt. Kokeneet vanhemmat tiesivät mitä tehdä! Kaikki hyvin niin vauvalla kuin äidillä.

Olen niin onnellinen, että olen saanut olla täällä. Kiitollinen Taivaan Isän pienestä ihmeestä!
