I LikeThursdays: May 5, 2022

 I have the best news this week!


Remi Joanna was born last evening at 5:21 p.m.
She weighted 8 lbs.

My niece Maggie was a trooper.  It was a tough pregnancy and a tougher delivery.  Maggie's labor was induced on Monday but our little baby still took forever in getting her.  We had a chain text going during the whole time and Matt, Maggie's husband and Rema (Maggie's Mom who was allowed to be with her!) kept us updated.  

At one point early Tuesday morning, the baby was in some distress as the umbilical cord was under compression but the doctors filled Maggie with saline which reduced the pressure on the cord.

Both Mama and baby are doing fine!

So this is the best news for our family.  We are relieved that baby Remi and Maggie are both safe.

Today is the perfect day to announce this...it's I Like Thursday sponsored by Lee Anna at Not Afraid of Color.  Join her for other positive posts!
