Welcoming Yumi to Our Family

It has been an exciting year for my little family, surviving MRSA infections and now adding a little baby to the family.  Mayumi Marie Mabanta Meyer was born last Thursday on the 5th of September.  She arrived at 7 lbs 6 ounces.  Hariett worked really hard to push her out. I am totally amazed by what she did.  Even though she begged and pleaded with me to cut the baby out, she managed to work through the pain and delivered Yumi naturally.  The pregnancy/birthing experience here was in many ways more rewarding, although just a tad more scary and stressful.  I am relieved that Hariett and little Yumi are OK.  Juliana and Frankie are so happy to finally see and welcome their little sister into the world.
