She's HERE!

Our granddaughter, our little sweetheart and the newest little Thompson has arrived! Praise God! Her name is ....
Susannah Joy!
How beautiful is that?
Susannah is a Hebrew name meaning Lily.

She arrived at 9:21 p.m. at Providence Hospital in Newberg, OR. She weighs 8 lbs. 4 oz. and is 20 inches long. Can't wait to see pictures of her and share them with my friends!

We are so thankful to the Lord and so happy!

Baby Watch

Well, today is the DAY! It's 5:30 p.m. and Kristin and Jonathan are at the hospital right now where he is posting updates on his blog. It has already been a long day for them since they spent a restless night wondering if her sporadic contractions meant anything. Jonathan called me at 7:45 a.m. to say Kristin was admitted and settled in her room, already at 4 cms.

I don't really have a lot else to say at the moment. I am cruising around blog-land, checking back in with his blog every 5 minutes and I needed something to do to pass the time.

Dum-de-dum-de-dum. Hurry up clock! Time drags when it is measured out in 5 minute increments.

Grandma shower

My friends from my Monday evening Bible study gave me a "grandma shower" yesterday and I am afraid that the truth is hard to face. This is what I will become in about two weeks when our little granddaughter arrives on the scene. (Maybe I will be able to find a way to snap back as I did after I was pregnant those four times). Yesterday, for a couple of hours, I looked just like my own Grandmas--except that they had a lot more style than this.
