When I started my prayer list for 2014 my sister had just told us that she was pregnant so after writing down my prayer to be able to go visit her when her baby was born, the obvious next thing was to pray for her pregnancy and the birth, this was my prayer "that Tarryns baby will be healthy and that her pregnancy would go smoothly for no complications and a quick labour and birth"
The pregnancy went so well for my sister, and she looked so beautiful with that big tummy, I wish I could have felt it and caught her glowing beauty of pregnancy on camera. But it felt like forever and when the little man was past his due date we couldn't wait and just wanted to meet him.
Well we got the message (3 days past due date) at 11:50 South African time on 19 June that contractions had started, needless to say my mom and I were glued to our phones waiting for the next up date, at 14:30 (S.A time) we got the message that they were on their way to the hospital, and when asked how you feeling, the 1 word answer of "sore" gave it away that those contractions were getting bad. Then we heard nothing more, wow were we waiting in anticipation. Eventually we got the message that my precious nephew was born at 15:40 (S.A time) weighing a healthy 4.1kg's. Ah he's so beautiful.
My beautiful sister and nephew.
We found out his name later that evening(they hadn't decided on one yet) and we all love it, we think Benjamin Samuel Knight is perfect, the name and the baby.
I just want to thank God for answering prayers and for this new life. And Taz I just want to let you know I don't mind if you blame me that your labour went so quick you couldn't have an epidural (wink wink)
I can't wait, 10 sleeps and I get to meet Ben in person.
