Baby Katie

Some of you may remember the patient I wrote about last year who was 43 with no live baby and 3 failed pregnancies. I met her early on when I got to Arusha. Some how her story just so struck a cord in my heart and I prayed fervently for her that her hope would not be disappointed again.

Well the day I left to go home to see my Dad who was unwell, Maria delivered a beautiful little girl.

Little Katie looking startled! 

I have been wondering since I got back how they were doing and then on Monday they arrived. Maria and baby Katie.
She is chubby and gorgeous! A joy and delight to her Mum and Dad. And not to mention this midwife. I have thanked God many many times for allowing the joy of this baby.

A reminder for me again that "Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is the tree of life!"
