My First Visitors

Thanks so much to my mom who took three weeks out of her busy life to come and stay with me until Vernon made it home and Eeva was born. She only got to spend three days after Eeva was born, but we are looking forward to her next visit in a few weeks and when Eeva gets to meet Papa. We are so excited.

Grandpa and Grandma Richmond came to the hospital to visit. They live really close, so Eeva will be extra spoiled with all the attention.

Uncle Jake came to visit my first night home, so he could take Grandma back to the airport. We can't wait for all the rest of her Uncles and Aunts to come and visit. Soon, really soon.

She's Here!!

Sorry I'm running a little slow on getting this posted, but anyone who has had a newborn knows that there are too many other precious moments you don't want to be missing. So after a lot of prayers and Eeva being patient, her daddy made it home for her grand entrance. He got home Saturday afternoon from Basic Training and they started to induce me at 9:00 Sunday morning. So after over cooking for a week she came out a whapping 8lbs and 1oz, which was a shock because I was told up to delivery that she would only weigh about 6 1/2lbs. Suprise, Suprise!! She is a perfect baby and is already getting good sleep at night which mom and dad appreciate.

Dad's Home

Vernon made it home!!! I'm so proud of Vernon for serving his country, but Eeva and I were sure glad he made it home for our important day. I couldn't have done it without him. Okay, I could have, but I'm sure glad I didn't have to. Thank you for all the prayers and fasting that it would all come together. Someone must have been listening upstairs.
