Congrats to you & your family!!! :mrgreen:
safe homebirth
Thank you all for your warm regards. It is a big adjustment getting used to 3 kids, so needless to say, I will be on the internet FAR less in the upcoming months. Also my dad is really sick and in a horrible state of depression over his illness, so I actually could use a break from the computer and focus more on prayer etc. Please pray for him, Bozidar.
To answer about the baby's name. Yes, she was born on Martyr Nestor. We Serbs have the UNFORTUNATE custom of NOT giving the saint of the day's name, nor do we celebrate name days. Rather we have a collective patron saint which we celebrate with the feast of Krsna Slava. It commemorates our family/tribe/clan's initial baptism to Christianity from paganism. So with this, many Serbs are given names that are not even Christian or Biblical. Sad but true.
I have a strong devotion for Saint Nektarios and also Starets Nektary from Optina so we thought it was a good name for our little bundle. Plus we also already have to "N's" so we wanted to follow the pattern.
Anyway, I would LOVE to post pictures but am so NOT computer savy if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. PM me.
In Christ,
Tessa
