Baby has arrived!!!

One of my dearest friends here in Haiti had her baby this weekend. Her name is Julie and she and her husband run the orphanage that you see in all the pictures I send. The baby was born by c-section on Monday morning at 9:30. Mom and baby are fine. I spent the night in the hospital with them on Monday night. It was a "girls" night :) We had a lot of fun. Needless to say I am pretty tired. The cool thing is that I may be able to volunteer at that hospital. Its a really nice hospital. Its nicer than many American hospitals. If I do get married and live here in Haiti I would not be afraid to have my babies there. They are a new hospital and very clean and very professional. It was a great experience.

The baby's name is Ann-Julie Terreza Ali Joseph. She is so beautiful! I love her so much.
I apologize that I am having difficulty loading pictures today. You might have to wait to see them later.
I am doing really well. My kids just finished a bunch of major tests this week. They are tired and I am too, but its been a good couple of weeks. We are all working really hard right now.
Love you all and I'd better go. We're about to lose electricity.
Love Maggie

Maggie,
I wish I'd had the opportunity to say goodbye before you left Cheshire. I knew your dream was to move to Haiti someday, but I didn't know you were actually doing it until I saw your termination and talked to Celia.
I wish you all the best. The people of Haiti are very fortunate to have you there.
God bless!
