Jiichan Gordon, Granny Barbara, Nana Cathy, and Auntie Diana were the official welcoming committee on this special of days....We arrived at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, CA, a little after 10:00 in the morning of the 24th - Carol, the doula, gave us to believe the wee one would be arriving in a couple of hours. We sat & chatted in great anticipation... |
As it turned out the arrival time was a little later, as these things are wont to be, and the little tyke came on the scene in mid-afternoon with the gentle nudging of Mamma-san Tori...
On the second day, the special welcoming committee returned to Alta Bates Hospital and shared in the enjoyment of ohhh'ing and ahhh'ing over little Casey Benjamin... |
