"Elia 3 years old, Everly 1, and grandma, Dorlena Erickson, Sabrina’s mother, are excited for Millie’s arrival home," said Joshua, who is a captain with the 1st Cavalry Division.

CRDAMC was the couple's second military hospital to delivery in.

"Our delivery team was probably the best we’ve ever had, from the midwives in labor and delivery to our nurse Courtney in the mother baby unit." said Sabrina.

The new parents are looking forward to spending time with the children at home before their expected permanent change of station in the summer, says Fort Hood.
