Ralph and I are proud to introduce you to our new addition.
Miss Gwendolyn Edith Van Oostrum came into our world on March 1 just after 10: PM
She weighed in at 7 pounds and 9 oz. and is 19 1/2 inches long.
Her proud brother Sam has already fallen in love and her parents, Andy and Molly are doing very well.
Her grandparents are so excited to see her. Unfortunately, she was born 2 weeks early and just two days before her birth, we made reservations (cheap tickets) to go to Portland on the 25th of April, just a week after her due date. We are crazy around here needing the 24th to come quickly.
Her birth ended a wonderful weekend (see previous post) with our other children and grandchildren. An hour after we fell in to bed and zoned, the phone rang with Andy announcing this wonderful new addition to our family. We didn't mind that he called us after midnight and that neither of us could sleep much the rest of the night.
I remember when Andy was at college and would call us at 2 or 3 am just to chat.
As you can see, they are both beautiful. We are so blessed.
