Welcome!

Rita's granddaughter Alana was born a bit after 10:00 this morning.

Terry went to the hospital in early labor at 3:00 a.m. Saturday morning--which was in fact her official due date. She was sent home with instructions to call in at noon. She was still fairly comfortable at that point and did not go back to the hospital until 9:00 p.m. Terry was admitted at that point, but Rita was sent home with instructions to come back at 8:00 a.m. unless she got a call in the night. She returned at eight, was present for the birth and is sooo proud of Terry!

It was fun to get phone calls with updates every so often, and to hear that Terry was doing so well...reassuring her mother in fact!

Congratulations to all and welcome baby Alana!
