Confirmation of pregnancy date: March 2017 Date & time of birth: Tuesday, November 7, 2017 AT 8.52pm Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital Delivery Doctor: Brian K Nemunaitis Current Doctor: Amy Sniderman Birth weight: 6lbs 2oz
The Discovery What a joy it was to learn that we were pregnant! The good news was confirmed on----Psalm 127 3-5 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord:and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
The Preparation
As we planned for the arrival of our baby, we were overflowing with joy! Nothing could diminish my delight, not the gerd, enlarged stomach, swollen feet, the endless craving for ice cream! There was a flurry of activities, shopping, searching for names, preparing her room and planning for the Baby Shower. As my stomach grew my husband began to have conversations with her daughter. On a cold Saturday afternoon we gathered around the fire in the long held tradition of celebrating the impending birth and the “ Name Reveal� Family and Friends from near and far came to celebrate our blessing.

My Christening The best Mothers’ Day Gift! We christened our baby girl and what a day. She is a real Daddy’s girl!
Jamaica FIRST TRIP TO
Suddenly, almost without warning the day arrived for our trip to Jamaica. Malia was a good traveller. Dad kept her entertained. Malia blossomed in Jamaica. She loved to be outdoors with the wind on her face, the sun, sand and beach, fruits especially the mangoes, and her favourite the two poodles. She was clearly in love and made happy sounds and followed the puppies with her eyes. What a joy it was to see her with her Grandfather! She was introduced to aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends.
