Noah Clyce Hollingsworth
Noah was born after about 2.5 hours of real contractions. The nursing staff was not ready for such a fast transition from strong contractions to birth. I, Taylor, almost had to catch little Noah but a doctor came in, saw me, then saw Alesha, startled, then rattled off several sentences in Spanish which was way too fast for me to comprehend, but the nursing staff certainly figured it out and in 15 seconds the room was swarming like a bee hive. The birth was perhaps the smoothest we had yet. Though Glory and I were expecting a baby girl, we are ALL very excited to finally see, play with, and enjoy baby Noah.

Noah is named after the man found in Hebrews 11:7 and Genesis 6:8-9, and Clyce was the name of Alesha's grandfather.

"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." -Hebrews 11:7

"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. ...Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." -Genesis 6:8-9



Enjoy!
