At last - some happy news!!

As some of you lovely women might be aware, my sister suffered a huge loss last year after her daughter was born sleeping.

This morning, my sister had a beautiful girl by c-section. Most importantly, this one was not born sleeping. I'm so overjoyed at the news of my gorgeous new niece and can't wait to finally hold her!!!!! I just wanted to share it with everyone. (getting all teary for the millionth time today!!)

Her name is "Hope Emily" and she weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces (yes a tiny bubba, but was delivered at 37 weeks) :dance:

Thanks for reading!!!!

Mel - thats such wonderful news, its gives us that have lost the hope that we can one day bring a healthy baby home. cherish little hope, as I'm sure you will. more so its just hit home because your neice was Phoebe and my daughter who was born sleeping was also Phoebe, I pray this is a good omen.
