Little Miriam Salem is here, after a very anxiety ridden pregnancy. For those who didn't know, Maya is one of our original staff members. Her child belongs to that rare percent who developed into a full term embryo, despite the obstruction of an I.U.D. Her doctors, family and friends advised her to abort as the chances of being able to carry the baby to full term were slim. Even more disturbing was the thought that if by some miracle the baby did not voluntarily abort, it would be born with severe mental or physical defects. Maya, however, with conscious knowledge of the baby growing inside her, chose life. She recently sent me photos, that i hope she'll share with everyone once she feels strong enough to be up and around. The baby is beautiful, a tiny star child to add to the amazing Universe of creation. You were very brave, my sister. Against all adversity, you kept your faith in your unborn child.

Oh, Maya! Yes, I remember the controversy surrounding the pregnancy. I am so glad everything went all right--leave it to Maya to stick to her guns and out-argue every "professional" naysayer! Congratulations Maya!!!! *hugs*

Forgive me, I've been meaning to reply earlier this week. It's just that being a new mom again is overwhelming. The pregnancy had been a stressful ordeal which I am glad has come to a positive end. The doctors had me riding quite an emotional roller coaster between having an unsafe pregnancy to a child that would most likely not make it or result with severe chromosomal abnormalities. It seemed that no good would come of this pregnancy. I almost lost hope. But something always told me that everything would be OK. You have to listen your inner voice, it succeeds all others.
Mariam is a beautiful little girl, which I am embarassed to admit is taking some adjusting on my part. It's as if I've never had any other children before. This will all blow over in a few short weeks (crossing my fingers), every baby is different I guess. The important part to acknowledge is that here is a new soul whose contentment and survival depends on me, and I will do everything I can to maintain that . One fine day she came a knocking on the door ever so faintly determined to be a part of this family. Thank you all for thinking of me. I appreciate it.

Nobody can convince me unborn children don't communicate with their mothers. She told you she was going to be alright and you believed her. When it comes to a mother's instincts, let the doctors, the scientists and everyone else stuff it.
