Hospital Visitors

We were so lucky to have so many nice visitors while we were in the hospital as well as phone calls from our out of town friends and family. We were admitted to the hospital very early Saturday morning and within hours Susan and Gary (Nini and Gramps) were there ready for a long day awaiting baby Vienna's arrival. Uncle Bob and Aunt Beth joined them in the waiting room. They were all very excited as I started labor. As we mentioned earlier, plans changed and I had to get prepped for a C-Section. Chad went into the waiting room to deliver the news. From what I heard later on from Chad, Nini and Gramps started to get very worried. Luckily Uncle Bob just so happens to be an obgyn and was able to explain in greater the situation as well as calm some concerns. After the delivery, everyone took turns coming into see us, including Chad's cousin Mike and his daughter Julie Ann.

Over the next couple of days Nini and Gramps were our biggest supporters and were at the hospital almost every day. Jason and Jana, our friends who are so generously babysitting Stella right now, stopped by. Garrett and Sandy also came by after work one day. Kenny came by with Gary one day to help install the car seat base in my car. The car seat has to be 100% ready to go in the proper position or the hospital is not allowed to let you leave. Bob and Beth came by another day and enjoyed holding the baby as much as they could. Tami, Mike and Julie Anne also came by one evening. Of course when it was Julie Anne's turn to hold the baby, she got fussy. Julie Anne, please come out to the house and give it another shot. We'd love to have you visit. No event would be complete without a visit from the Christies. Paula, Shea and Paige came by and took the baby off my hands for awhile. I think Vienna was in one of her calmest moods when Paula held her, she's a natural when it comes to motherhood and especially grandmotherhood.

Jana and Vienna:

I was overwhelmed with how generous everyone was and just how many phone calls we received as well as emails and facebook entries. It will take me awhile to get caught up responding to everyone. One day I'll go through Vienna's baby book with her and explain just how wonderful you all are! Thank you so much for all of your well wishes, love and support.
