Mira Zoe Allen was born after 13 hours of labour and no intervention. For the first time ever, I didn't need drugs to get the labour going, and although I frequently asked for an epidural, it never happened because the doctor was very busy. So, she arrived in a very healthy state, crying right away and demanding to eat! She arrived at 10:30am on September 24th, and weighed in at 8lbs, 10oz and 21 inches in length.
We stayed in hospital until we had a urine sample from Mira to have her tested for ASLD. The staff were fantastic and everything went very smoothly. Now, we'll wait 7-10 days for results to see if she has the same genetic condition as Ashley and Hope.
Brodie is just LOVING his new little sister, and is frequently found cuddling, kissing and playing with her. He says he doesn't mind at all that she isn't a boy!
We chose the name Mira because God blessed us with this miracle and the name Zoe means life. She is our little miracle of life, and no matter what comes, we are so happy to have her and care for her.

Wow! What a beautiful little girl. Ashley had phoned her mom and told her the name and I heard it this morning. What a wonderful name for a beautiful little girl.
She is truly a miracle and is so lucky to be born into such a loving family.
