Achterhof Family Update 5-9-09

Riley Jean Achterhof has arrived happy & healthy! She arrived on May 5th at 11:44 am weighing in at 6 lbs 4 oz and 19 1/4 inches. We had a two day stay at Elkhart General, which all the nurses and staff were wonderful. Riley had a few visitors while at the hospital, Grandma & Grampa Smith, Uncle Don and also the pastors and their wives stoped to check in. And all were head over heals for her, she seems to have that affect. On Thursday afternoon we made the trip home. It was great to be home and not have someone in and out of the room every half hour. Riley and family have been settling in. Riley definitely sleeps and eats like a champ but still needs to figure out the sleeping at night. And Dad is taking great care of both mom and Riley as the recovery goes on and the adjusting of the expanded family.

Today we will be having a vist from Oma & Opa Achterhof. And on Sunday Grandma & Grampa Block will be visiting and staying for a few days to help out while Drew goes back to work.
