A 4 pound 9 ounce surprise








So we got a bit of a suprise this morning. At 12:20 PM Eva Grace Narvesen was born at 4 pounds 9 oz. Sonja woke up this morning with contractions and decided that we should go to the hospital. I thought it was a false alarm and didn't even bring a camera or shoes and socks for nate (who has luckily been taken care of by wonderful friends on very short notice, and thankfully the hospital had a camera for such situations). They tried to stop the labor but were unsuccessfull and so she came. Being 6 weeks early her lungs are not quite fully developed and she had to be taken to a Portand hospital with a Nicu that could take care of her. For a premie she is doing very well but needs some time for her lungs to catch up, the doctors are saying right now that everything is looking great as far as things go. She's tiny but has a little chub still. Sonja is doing good apart from the scariness of the whole situation and should hopefully be discharged tomorrow morning so we can go down to Portland. Being apart is not very fun. We can't get to facebook from the hospital and our email doesn't seem to be working well here otherwise we would send and post more. Please pass our blog on to people as well. We'll keep you updated on how things are going. Please be praying for us as well with health and all the craziness thats going to be happening with her being in Portland. Thanks

She's darling! Do you need a place to stay while you're in town? We would be happy to have you here if you want. We aren't terribly far from the hospital. Both of our boys were born there!
