And she's only an hour old or so in this photo! Yes, our second child has finally been born. Heidi Lorraine Koens. She was born at 1:20 p.m. today at the birthing centre just a few miles from where we are here at Horsely's Green (England, for those who came in late). She weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 22 inches long. The delivery was long and difficult, but without complications, other than the fact that Heidi was facing the wrong direction. Her umbilical cord was wrapped twice around her neck, but as it was the longest umbilical cord the midwives had seen in a long time, (over 3 feet long), there was minimal danger to her on delivery.
I may talk more about this another day--right now I am beat and am going to bed.

Congratulations Andrew, Clare and Levi! A new MK is one more blessing to count:) Thanks so much for sharing on your blog about what you do, why you do it, etc. I believe you could have a second career as an author of "How To" or just about the work in Ukarumpa.
Praying for you
Karen and Rich Hower
