In this picture is my husband and our new niece just born on Sunday! Her parents have decided to follow the Orthodox tradition and not announce the name until the 8th day. This is their first baby and she is just beautiful! Our sister-in-law had a really rough labor and deliver and it's been 4 days and she is still hurting pretty bad. But out came a 5lb adorable little girl! This makes number 6 niece! It is also exciting for us because my husband and I and his younger brother and his wife (parents of the newborn) are the only orthodox christians in the family so being able to experience her baptism and her future things in the church will be and exciting thing to share with them.
Another note today August 6th is the Feast of the Transfiguration day. My husband got up at the crack of dawn to go to church for the Divine liturgy on a weekday morning, and took a bowl of fruit with him to be blessed. Of course being pregnant and still somewhat sick, get up on a different schedule is impossible and would probably mess me up the rest of the day, so I stayed home and he went to church, although I really wanted to go I have never been to thos few early morning services they have on some feast days because so far I have been pregnant and sick for all of them. My husband has gone to quite a few and says they are something to see being a weekday early in the morning they are a little quieter. Some day though I promise I am going to attend the special feast day services.
