My mom arrived on Wednesday Feb 8th and I am so glad that Caroline listened to me and held out till her Grandmama got here. Mom was such an amazing coach and was a huge help when we got home. I fully believe that she is the reason that I was only in the hospital for 6 hours before Caroline was born and why I was able to give birth naturally. Caroline absolutely loves her Grandmama and spent lots of time in her arms having some good conversations. :)

I wish Jonny could have been there for her birth, but I am thankful that I was able to e-mail him pictures and that he was able to call. The other Momsen (Jonny's ship) wives were great about making sure to get the word to the ship and the command master chief made sure that Jonny knew that I was at the hospital. Obviously not ideal...but it's our life right now.



Jonny's mom Elizabeth made the trip to Washington and came by a couple of days to meet Caroline and spend a little bit of time with her. I was so glad that she was able to come and meet her granddaughter. It meant a lot to me.

My sister is here now. I was so excited to see her and am really enjoying my time with her. Caroline absolutely loves her Aunt Elan.

I feel so blessed the my mom and my sister have been so willing to put their lives on hold for a week or two to come and help me since Jonny couldn't be here.
