It's a girl!

We FINALLY have a baby & it's a GIRL! Many friends who have came to visit this year have met Jetride! And I'll explain why I say FINALLY! 

 When I arrived in December I found out my dear friend was pregnant and she said she was due in May! I began to speak out "Its a girl!!!" Jetride has 3 little boys already so it was time for some estrogen! Her husband is Erik, Pierre's brother~ is great dad & husband but between the two of them there are 7 grandsons and 1 grand daughter!! 

 

When Team Remain in the Vine came in June they brought with them baby blessings and TONS of pink! A first aid kit, clothes, diapers (cloth and disposal), wipes and a baby bed with a mosquito net! We had a baby shower for her (probably her 1st ever) and blessed her with all these PINK items and more! I was really crossing my fingers for a girl after this!
 

Jetride and many newborn diapers!

Lets skip to ahead! Erik told me she was in the hospital with high blood pressure and we discussed today how she NEEDED to have this baby! Remember~ she told me she was due in May. Due to improper equipment this is hard to actually say~ but she had been dealing with pre-eclampsia for
2 months! 

So since God is in control of ALL things.. This is how it happened.. All abnormal for a day here...

We left the feeding program early (not normal)

Got a driver to take us to the market (not normal)

Decided last minute to go to the hospital 1st! (led by the Spirit)

Walked in to the hospital

Heard screaming and found grandma

1 min later heard a baby crying!!

1 min later... Met the newest addition to Empowering Haitian Moms! 

Born at 1:40 pm on June 28th! 

Mommy and baby are great! I have been calling the baby Erika since December since her daddy's name is Erik so we'll see what her name is later this week! Please stay tuned for updates! She is GORGEOUS and latched on with no problems! Yea for FREE milk!
