My one and only AMAZING, incomparable, fearless, warior-godess of a sister gave birth today (without a drop of medication or pain killers in her system!!) to a STUNNING, equally courageous 5lb 8oz baby girl. We will not know the name of the baby (as is tradition in Jewish culture) until the formal baby-naming ceremony which will take place this Saturday at my parents' synagogue. All are welcome to come, celebrate, laugh, drink, and eat... Em, I so wish you could be here!

My paradigm has shifted, my world has truly evolved. It is a new day, a new lifetime, and what might have bogged me down or soiled my spirits yesterday is actually of a different era...
I can't quite describe it but I truly, wholly feel that this is a new world full of life, love, and adventures unknown! Baby Girl Norman, I love you so and you've been here scarcely 13hrs! Thank you for bringing your clarion pipes and your perfect head of thick black hair to this world. You, too, have brought life's revival and an astonishing re-writing of my perspective's boundaries. I cannot wait to hear more of what you have to say and see what becomes of you! Tomorrow I'm going to set up your little nursery and tell everyone that I encounter (as I did already today) that I am a brand new auntie of a PERFECT baby girl! Welcome to a long line of ball-busting, hard-headed, strong, giggly, loving, passionate, sensitive Engle, Friedman and Norman women. I LOVE YOU and will now scurry to bed so as to see you that much sooner in the morning!
LOVELOVELOVEandLight to all on this remarkable day! December 28, 2010
(em, will upload pics as soon as I have my computer back!!) xxa
