Hello, everyone, I am finally able to report great news! Yesterday our daughter started her labor, and was admitted, and then our precious granddaughter was born right around 2 am local time (Pacific) this morning. Glory hallelujah!! All went well, and I thank you for your prayers. Baby girl is small, 6 lbs, 3 oz and just the sweetest, most perfect little human ever. We just got to have our first visit an hour ago. She is so tiny and sweet! Dark hair (like both parents) and not sure what color eyes yet. Healthy but they want them there for 24 hours after the birth, and then she needs to hit certain markers (blood sugar level, think). So we hope they can come home tomorrow night.
It’s been a whirlwind around here. They have two cats, and one is under a vet’s care twice a week for a neurological condition she has. So we had to take that cat to the vet for a quick checkup and procedure. Then brought the kids dinner from a food truck near the hospital. Yummy Asian/Hawaiian type food. So after we left the kids, we went back and got food for us. I don’t even know what to call what we had. One was a tuna dish, and mine was a pulled pork dish. Very good, and a fun change!
I am still not used to Pacific standard time. It gets DARK here by 4:30. Maybe because they are near mountains? By 6, it feels like it’s time to be doing nothing more than lounging around. I think I will be ready to go to bed in another couple of hours, unless I get a second wind.
Thank you all again, for your prayers. It was a pretty smooth delivery, but there was apparently one scary part. All is resolved now. Hugs to all of you!
Congratulations, FamiliarFace! What a blessing!!
What wonderful news. What a Thanksgiving!! You will never forget this one.
