1st Samuel 1:11 - "And she made a vow, saying, 'O Lord Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a child, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life . . . . . "
1st Samuel 1:20 - "So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, 'Because I asked the Lord for him."
If you look up the meaning of the name Samantha it says: "God listened" - the verses above is where Samuel/Samantha gets their meaning.
Elise - Amy's aunt who Amy has looked up to her entire life
Caroline Elise - Elise's soon to be TEN year old daughter who has looked up to Amy her entire lifeSamantha Elise - our precious new born daughter completing the family circle as she will more than likely look to Caroline as her role model
Ain't it nice how the circle of life just keeps on going and going?
Mother and daughter are doing well! Amy is resting on pain medication as I type after an excruciating LONG day. Samantha is under the watchful eye of the wonderful nurses here at St. Mary's after experiencing her first bath tonight from nurse Leslie Barnes.
Yours truly is about to finally lay down for a couple hours. It will amount to almost DOUBLE the sleep I got on Monday night. The theory that many of you hold that I need little to no sleep is really being put to the test right now.
GOD IS GOOD!

Great name and the background thought is wonderful, but she will always be Pearl to me.
