New Benchich!!!

Guest Blogger Mike here...

It's official!  Another Benchich (this makes 4 total) has been born at the Dhahran Health Center!  Since Elisabeth is stuck in the hospital with no internet access, her lucky husband gets to give the initial update...

Catherine Blakely was born perfectly healthy on March 31 at 3:28am.  She weighed 6lb 13oz and was 19.75 inches long.  Mom did a fantastic job delivering Catherine naturally and is doing very well staying at the hospital for the next couple nights.

Elisabeth's parents arrived in KSA just in time.  I brought them home from the airport at 11pm and we were in the car headed to the maternity ward an hour later.

I'm sure Elisabeth will want to write more when she's back online, but for now enjoy the pics!
What a cutie!


                                         Very happy under the heat lamp.

                                          Proud big brother Everett.

                                          Lawrence was very interested in yelling at the baby.

                                         Dad's happy family.
