Catching up with baby

Tuesday morning Max arrived to take Valentina into her doctor's appointment. Baby was due in two weeks but she was having back pains, so we sent her suitcase with her, just in case. He took her to the hospital where Oksana went, but it is closed for quarantine. A lady there yelled at him for bringing all these pregnant girls there first. Poor Max, he understands the language, so he has become the driver of choice. Anyway, he found a hospital that would keep her, it's quite nice looking.

Baby did not arrive Tuesday, on Wednesday afternoon we dropped off a bag of stuff she forgot to pack and a bag of disposable diapers for her. With the quarantine, you have to leave it with a lady by the door. We had to look on facebook for Valentina's last name to write it down for her.

Anyway, Valentina phoned Thursday morning to say the 8 pound 2 1/2 ounce baby GIRL arrived the night before! We think her name is Angelena or Angelika, we've heard both versions. Yes, we were under the impression it was a boy, but all the students are excited that it is a girl baby.

The plan is they will stay at our house, Garry never had any problem sleeping through crying babies before, so it should all work out. No news on when they can come home, Max had a lot of phone calls yesterday from government officials about whether she had a nice place to live with the baby.
