Now that I know that the possibility of the well beloved female gremlin might have been in the baby's name, I believe I can state unequivocally, that this baby will be unique. From the grandmother/grandmother-in-law, all these gifts are well thought out! and I encourage friends to go together for some big helpful ones. Female Gremlins are very skillful at fooling humans; thus the great items for carrying and keeping her near will be highly important.!
Michelle and Lexton--- Congratulations! I so wish I got to see more of you, Michelle and I know once Lyriella arrives; I'll never see you. She is going to be beautifu!!! I cannot wait to meet her. Since I am in Dayton---I hope that I can hand deliver your baby gift to you--SOON?????
Hi Michelle and Lexton, we're thinking of you and sending thoughts of welcome to new baby girl. Here's a beautiful story that seems perfectly fitting for the talent pool of Watson/Dideriksen descent. All best to you all, and love, Rick and Kay.
In East Africa there is a tribe with a unique ritual surrounding conception and birth. In preparation for conceiving a child, a woman leaves her community and sits alone beneath a tree, where she remains in prayer and meditation until she has received her child's 'song.' This song is later taught to her husband before conception and sung to her child throughout pregnancy.
Each child's song is unique and will be sung by the midwives who welcome the child at birth. But perhaps most powerfully, every child's song will be learned by members of the child's village and will accompany them throughout their lives. It will be sung to soothe them when injured and to celebrate many joyous rites of passage. It will resound at marriage ceremonies. And at the end of life, villagers will gather, as they did at birth, to sing them from this world.
MOTHER'S PRAYER
"Creator God, In these final days of waiting for my child, I turn to you for wisdom in motherhood. You cradle her before she is even born, sing to her in the rush of my blood, and you will hold her when her days are done.
"Teach me the words to my daughter's lullaby. May her song always serve to remind her of who she is and from where she's come.
What a marvelous sunny day in California to have heard the news: Michelle and Lexton have brought a new child into our family, Lyriella Alice. From what I have heard, she is healthy and thriving. I hope that Michelle has the opportunity to rest and recover from her labor. I hope that these new parents are thrilled beyond words as they begin to nurture their new baby girl. May the love of this child fill our entire family on all sides, and in all its many branches. MAZEL TOV!!! And big sunny smiles from California!
