Hospital Visitors

The arrival of Baby E was especially fun for us because we had lots of visitors at the hospital, most importantly Aunt Nanny got to meet Baby E when she was only an hour old! With Mr. T, she had to wait 4 months.... but since she lives and works on base, she came on her lunch break. Living far away from family, Mr. J and I usually have had pretty quiet hospital stays. We did have a handful of visitors in Spokane (including my favorite, Mrs. M who would bring us yummy food) and we were still fairly new to town when I had Mr. T so I think we just had the kids up to visit. Another very special visitor we got to have this time was Grandma Jones. She came to the hospital with Chris in the afternoon. In the past, the babies have been a few weeks or months old before they have got to meet them.
We were missing 3 very important visitors... all the kids. Because it was nearing the end of RSV season (Nov 1 to Apr 1), no children under the age of 12 are allowed on the unit. This was probably hardest on me cause I couldn't wait to see them and have them meet their sister. But they did fine and all got to meet her on the 25th when we came home. That will be my next post!

Yeah for Deanna getting to visit me!! She even brought me a starbucks!

Aunt Nanny and Uncle Tom

Our fellow AWANA Trek leaders, Mrs. K and Mr. J came and visited us so they could meet the new Trek Mascot, Miss E. They brought cigars so we could take pictures of the guys with them and Mrs. K made us a cute frame. Also, Commander K and her daughter Miss C (below) stopped by to meet the baby and brought us beautiful tulips!
