It's official

Cadence Irene was born to my sister and her husband in Taipei, Taiwan on November 9 weighing 5 1/2 pounds. She was 11 days early, my sister had a very similar birth to mine (though a few hours shorter), and Cadence actually has some hair - much to their surprise! She's beautiful and I am so happy for them!

And I'm finally an AUNT!

ETA: I know you all are such great prayer warriors and I wanted to ask if you could lift up my sister and her husband and precious Cadence. Cadence was admitted to the hospital today because she is struggling with jaundice. She will be in there for at least a few days. I know this is not terribly uncommon, however, since my sister and her husband are living in a foreign country, far away from any family support, my brother-in-law cannot get off work, and because of hospital rules, my sister can only see the baby a few times a day to nurse her, it is very trying on them. I know they would appreciate anyone who would take the time to lift their little family up in prayer. Thank you in advance.

Praise the Lord for His blessing of little Cadence :)!
I will definitely lift your sister up to The Father. Our second daughter was hospitalized with severe jaundice after her birth and it was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through...and I was able to stay with her in the neonatal care unit 24/7 and my husband was able to be with us as well. I can't imagine how hard it must be without those comforts :(.

Such a beautiful picture and the baby is just a doll!!!! Will be praying for your sister and her family during this time. Even though your sis may not have any family support at the moment, she has the loving arms of our Lord and Saviour to fall back on! ;-)

That was a fast pregnancy! Didn't you just announce that she was expecting?

I will pray the babies' jaundice clears up soon. How horrible not to be with your baby the first few days!!!

Crystal~I will lift your sister, brother in law and new niece up in prayer. I'm sure this is very stressful.

In my prayers,

Congratulations to your sister and family!! Such a beautiful baby girl!! I'll definitely lift them up in prayer . . . I can't imagine how hard that would be, to not be able to be with their baby all the time while she is in the hospital. I'll pray the jaundice clears up quickly!!

She's so tiny!! My girl-twin was the exact same weight. More details please! On time or early? (or late) eyes, hair, length, all that cool stuff. :D

Praying! I hope all goes well and she recovers from it quickly.
What a beautiful name. Incidentally one of my friends named her baby Cadence last year. Before then I had never heard of the name.

Congratulations to your sister and her husband and also to you for being an aunt! :-)

I love the name Cadence and in fact, my granddaughter who'll be 2 in January was supposed to have been named that ...

But, a month before my daughter had her, they changed the name to Aaliyah. *lol*

Love,

Jennelle

Hi Crystal! She is absolutely beautiful; I bet you are quite proud of your little niece. My daughter, Lily, had jandice when she was born. This was very difficult since she was my first born, and I could only see her in the hospital a couple of times a day. My milk supply was so full; I just wanted to be with my precious daughter more. Thankfully, she only had to be in the hospital for an extra day and a half. I beamed from ear to ear when we got to bring her home. I was so grateful to be able to snuggle her and nurse her. Prayers for sweet little Cadence.

'Auntie' Crystal -

How is precious Cadence doing and Mamma Brigette? I hope that her jaundice is gone and Brigette has unlimited snuggles with her now.

When/if you can, give us an update and share some photos :)
