Miss Lucy
She joined us on February 10th, 5 days before we expected her.
Early in the morning, I awoke. It wasn't long before I knew she was coming. There was a flurry of activity around me as I settled down to concentrate on the work to be done. Midwives arriving. Little girls shuttled off to friends. Supplies gathered. It wasn't long after that that we knew she would be coming rather quickly. Roughly an hour and a half after the midwife arrived, Lucy Irene joined us.
We were overjoyed that it had been quick. I was so thankful to be holding her, nursing her, looking over her every feature. I was mildly surprised to be holding another girl. I figured we were due for a boy, but oh, how I love girls!
Due to too much blood loss, I had to make an urgent trip to the hospital an hour after Lucy's birth. It was not how I expected to spend the first 24 hours with my girl, but I am truly thankful for all that modern medicine offers. They had me fixed up in a day's time and back home with my family. I am so thankful to be living where we are, with with our friends SO close by. :) Everything after the transfer to the hospital went so smoothly. I am so thankful that the Lord allowed the day to go that way.
With no further ado, here are some pictures of our new little love.
