Grandchildren

The Strom family is expanding rapidly. Maya is expecting a girl on March 12th so we are into the any day mode at this point. She won't reveal the name until the event. She has been working as a labor and delivery nurse for 5 years and has delivered hundreds of babies (with the assistance of doctors of course) so knows what she likes and doesn't. So she has chosen to have a mid wife home birth. Her hospital is 3 minutes from home just in case.

Daughter-in-law Natalie isn't too far behind. She is due with her second son in June. Elliot was born in a Swiss hospital and they treated mother and child, and even father, like gods. She stayed there for 6 days for a routine natural birth. I hope she isn't too disappointed by the rush um in rush um out American attitude towards child birth.

There is a chance Maya's baby will have the same birthday as Elliot and there is a chance Justin's new one could be born on his birthday. Justin was born on Father's Day so that is also a possibility.

The hope of all is that the three children will essentially be raised together as they are close in age and live nearby. That would be cool.
