Marissa Charlotte arrived Monday, October 4th at 2:41 am in Renton, Washington. She was 9.4 pounds and 19 1/2 inches long. She is sooooo pretty from the pictures we've seen on Facebook.
It turned out we didn't make it for the birth of Marissa and we're extremely sad about that. We traveled to Renton on the Friday before, thinking Kristi would be induced either Friday or Saturday. The birth center didn't have a bed available so they were put off until Sunday around noon. We had to go back home on Saturday because Greg had to work on Sunday. It was sooooo disappointing not to be there for her birth but we had no idea when she would arrive at that point.
This is our 8th grandchild and 5th granddaughter. We couldn't be happier or more proud. Marissa is the daughter of Josh and Kristi and sister to Lucas. We're so happy for all of them and they're doing just great. What a sweet little family.
We're now planning a trip over to see them real soon. Can't wait to meet Marissa Charlotte and get to hold her and enjoy the interaction I'm sure Lucas is having with her.
Here are a few pics of Saturday, when we all gathered at Joel's house waiting to hear when a bed would be available for Kristi. Also, a pic of Marissa that we received via email.
