Lots to celebrate today, the safe, altho slightly scary arrival of Baby L. He was tugged into the big cold world about 3 p.m. yesterday. Took an emergency C-section, but he's here *VBS* It always amazes me, this miracle of birth. Back when I was a surgical tech I occasionally helped out in OB and the delivery room. I've been at the foot of the table for baby catching, but also standing by with instruments during a C-section. A natural birth is always amazing to me. A C-section invokes a 'hold your breath' til the baby is out reaction.Yesterday was no exception...except of course, I wasn't scrubbed in on this one and it was personal. Just one anxious grandma in the wings. Mom, baby and Daddy are doing well. Life just got a whole lot more complicated, but we'll worry about that later. DD#2 is a language aide in a school where English is a second language. I know she wasn't expecting to take very much personal leave....I have a feeling that may be is going to change. She has always been a child with good pain tolerance, but when I spoke with Daddy this a.m., it sounds like she's feeling pretty beat up and overwhelmed..understand for sure.
No pictures as yet, but knowing DD#1, there will be soon *VBS* Oh yes, he weighed in at 7#11oz, and is 21 inches...not much hair! And yesterday was her due date. He's my first February grandchild,and the first one without the last name I use...but that's ok *VBS*

CONGRATULATIONS, Glad all is well. A baby is always the most exciting news and especially a healthy one.
Isn't being a Grandmother just the most wonderful part of life!!Take care, J
Congratulations all around *s* I must say that I am very partial to bald babies. In the practical sense they are easy to keep clean *S* But since my own darling Princess remained nearly bald until almost age 3, then only grew a little smidge of hair so I could be appeased by adorning her in ribbons. Now she has more hair than 3 people would want to tend to.
Enjoy your latest edition!
Congratulations Grandma! Glad to hear mother and baby are doing well!

Congratulations Finn to you and your family.
Congratulations!! Each new baby is always a bit of a miracle isn't it?
Would she not get any maternity leave? I sure hope she heals quickly - it is a big surgery. When there is a baby born that is the exciting part and everyone forgets there is a big surgery part.
Congratulations and big balloons for all! Baby L can be called 'Lucky' for short...lucky to be born into a loving family with a wonderful gramma like you! So, how many quilts has he got made or in the works? ;)
Congradulations and best wishes to the new family, as Mellie said, "It's always a fine day when baby's are born, Cap'n Butler"
Enjoy, now you have to rush on the new quilt??? tee hee
