Marla Helene Bijlsma

It's been two months already since we welcomed another baby girl into our family!  Time flies when you're having fun!


At 6:35 pm on February 6, 2017 after a quick delivery we were blessed with another beautiful little girl, who we named Marla Helene.  She was born at 41 weeks in Taber hospital so the wait was long but she came teeny tiny, weighing 6lbs 12 oz.  She is healthy
and as sweet as can be, making it easy for us all to love her intensely and adjust to another member in this family. 
I haven't been blogging since I'm too busy soaking in all that newborn preciousness. Even though this is our fifth baby it hasn't gotten old. I think I treasure it more each time actually, as you realize how quickly it's gone.  Oh the sweetness of your very own newborn!  The staring at the tiny little being that grew inside you for 9 months. Finally getting to meet that little bundle of life and to discover who it is! Babies are good for the soul, to see the goodness of God and most amazing work of His hands.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made"   Psalm 139: 13, 14.

  1. I was wondering where you had been! I don't imagine she looks like that anymore, so I guess you'll have to update soon:)
