Happy Birthday Neva!
Neva is one week old today! Grammy Jan and grandpa came last night in time for dinner. They brought a lawn mower and rocking chair. Grandpa got to read Neva a story about "Russell the sheep" (or something like that). Right now Shelly and Neva are napping, and Carlos, Isabel and Edith are driving to Anchorage. Carlos has the day off.

Neva's here! (3 am, May 27, 2009)
Contractions started at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26. It was a warm, sunny day in the Valley, and Mom and Dad did a good job staying calm. Solveig Johnson, a friend who also happens to be a nurse in Labor and Delivery, came to help at 12:30. It was about 3:30 pm when mom got to Mat-Su Regional, and Neva's two aunts and uncle were there for the action. The sky clouded up, and it began to get stormy as Mom and Dad went through triage. A nurse confirmed that mom was 4 cm, active labor. Now it was time for the hard part. It took several grueling hours and one successful epidural before Neva finally came out, at 3:01 a.m., exactly 24 hours after the first sign. She is 7 pounds, 12 ounces of joy, with a full head of hair, and even eyebrows! Her hand was by her head throughout delivery, and now she likes to keep her hand by her head when she sleeps! Mom and Dad are spending their second night in the hospital tonight and plan to bring Neva home in the morning.
