If you are like me, you can't wait to hear about Becky's reunion with Christopher. As I chatted with her tonight, she sounded so good! She has some burning pain on one side of her incision, but she is as perky and happy as ever. I'm sure there is comfort in being home again--but there is also a strange absence--someone in the family is missing. When Robert first took Becky in to see their new baby, Christopher was in the midst of tears, but his cries suddenly quieted when he recognized the sound of his mother's voice. It's an amazing thing, the bond between mother and child, and I have a feeling that Christopher Rudger Etchells knows EXACTLY who his mommy is. For hours she gently hugged him, kissed him, talked to him, even changed him ... and now, she will dream of him...until she can be with him again ... tomorrow. p.s. Christopher has been shifted from his tummy to his side. If everything goes well, he should be home in one more week! |

Becky..If a picture is worth a thousand words--the pictures of your reunion with Christopher are worth a million.. We love you and send our thoughts and prayers. Keith and Stephanie's boy arrived this morning at 9am weighing 9lbs. 6ozs and 20 1/2 ins.. His name is Conner Bentson Forsberg. I am sure these three little Smith cousins had a grand send-off from grandparents in heaven with good wishes for a happy sojurn on earth. We are happy all three are here now to be a part of our family association. Give our love to your family....Aunt Diana
