Karyn prepared to package the cord blood. Cord blood could come in handy later on
if Sam ever needs it (related to his leukemia treatments). Karyn did an excellent
job with this important matter. Thanks, Karyn!

My sister Yolanda hung in with us overnight.

Florence came over on Sunday and kept watch when they gave Kafi statal
and Kafi began "seeing things." It was strong stuff, but Kafi was making
us laugh all the way through it.

Zola kept Kafi breathing and focused through the heavy stuff.

Anne assisted with both Kafi's labor and things electronic (she shot the baby Micah pix).

Baby Micah.

She's quieter than Sam was.

She posed dutifully for photos.

Then the hollering started (note: I'm going to use this small photo as a web
site link).

Here's the larger size.

Waaa!

Then we called Ma Muslimah and let Micah greet her herself.

Nana Akilah was there for us all the way.

And finally mom gets a little rest.
