Tanisha Edison and her partner had to welcome the newest addition to their family more than 1,000 kilometres away from home.
Edison, a resident of Hay River, N.W.T., had a healthy baby girl on Aug. 23 at Edmonton's Royal Alexandra Hospital, a little more than a week after they were forced to leave home due to the wildfire.
"It's hard to be in a different community like 13 hours from your home when you have a new baby and you know everything you have is in a different town," she said.
"I went from having ideas, plans and having everything that I needed for the baby to having pretty much nothing."
However, she said she's thankful to have had her daughter, who she named Nova Grace, in the Alberta capital.
"I think it turned out better for my delivery plans because they do have some of the best hospitals for babies and mothers in Edmonton," she said.
Edison and her partner, Mason Bruneau, are anxious to go home and to sleep in her own bed. Edison said she's especially excited to introduce her baby to the new crib they haven't been able to use yet.
