Namesake


This week I had the great honor of having a baby named after me. A friend of mine who's been at the hospital these past few months had a beautiful baby girl early in the morning. Dr. Harvey did a C-section which I assisted with. It was one of the scarier things I've done, and I wasn't expecting to go to the hospital that morning, let alone scrub in and assist, but that's how things turned out. Helping to operate was scary enough, but her being a friend of mine made it worse. Thanks be to God it went quite well and she and the baby are doing great. When I went to maternity the next morning to check on my friend and her baby she told me she wanted to name the baby after me...so now there's a little Kate in Congo; my first namesake.

  1. Kate I love those pictures! Silas says especially the one when you are holding the baby.
    I think I want to draw the first one. Is there any way I can get it off the blog to snap fish?
