Hailey Hermien Astrid Frieling


YES!  She has entered our world and we are two of the lucky grandmas.  Don't you love her middle names?!  Hermien is the other lucky g'ma, Eva's mother.

Parents:  Jeroen (Astrid's son) and Eva
(photo taken at 12:20 a.m. today by hospital staff)

Date of Birth:  12 September 2018 (yesterday)
Time of Birth:  11:00 p.m.
Weight:  3455 gm. (7.62 lbs.)
Height:  52 cm (20.47 in.)
Place of Birth:  Gorinchem, NL


It was a difficult birth for Eva, after 19 hours of labor.  Nor is she or baby "out of the woods." 
But our "thoughts and prayers" are with them both in this new Journey of Life and Love.
I'll keep you updated as I am able....

  8. How wonderful for both of you! Congratulations! I truly hope that both mom and baby will be fully healthy soon and go home being a family. I reminded me of Antonia's birth and how much of a miracle I thought she was (still do that!). I know that you two will be wonderful grandmas.
