Welcome, Anna Benedick!
History was made yesterday at Hospital Vozandes del Oriente, as a bald white head (instead of a head full of black hair) was seen coming through the birth canal. About eight hours before the event, Mommy Kristina began to feel some uncomfortable contractions. She was still able to rest for awhile and breathed through the pains like a champ. Two hours before the birth, Caleb and Jael went to friends’ houses as the pains got stronger. At around 12 noon we headed to the hospital. Just 15 minutes after arriving, Kristina’s water broke during a strong contraction and Anna began to shoot out at the speed of light. There was not even time to change into a hospital gown. We were very proud of Kristina during and after the event. We are thankful to the Lord Jesus for a healthy mom and baby. Thank you to all who were praying for her safe arrival.
