We love the name Hazel - the way it sounds and looks, but also the reference to Julian of Norwich*
Mae was my aunt's name and, in many ways, a second mother to me.
We are so excited for Miss Hazel to finally be with us and can't believe that she is already 2 weeks old! Stay tuned for her birth story...
Her first Picture
On the bili-lights
Sucking Daddy's finger
Sleeping peacefully*"In this vision he showed me a little thing, the size of a hazelnut, and it
was round as a ball. I looked at it with the eye of my understanding and
thought "What may this be?" And it was generally answered thus: "It is all that is
made." I marvelled how it might last, for it seemed it might suddenly have
sunk into nothing because of its littleness. And I was answered in my
understanding: "It lasts and ever shall, because God loves it."
