This is the regular line

Here we go again!

Well as you all know my grandson was born. Then we find out the oldest is pregnant with her second due on June 1st. Then we find out that my youngest daughter is pregnant with her second due we think in June or July. She usually has a very difficult time carrying them to term she has had several miscarriges, so being that she found out so early she can be put on some kind of medicine that helps her carry them that is if is works. Something must be in the air in my family nobody breath or drink the water. :)

He's Here

Well he made his appearence at 1:52am weighing in at 7lbs 1oz 21 inches long. All appears healthy with such a rough entry we were alittle worried. Mommy wouldn't stop bleeding it took about an hour to stop they still don't know what the heck happened.?
Thank you to all of you that said prayers for them. I'm still exhausted didn't get to bed until 430am and up to babysit my other grandson at 8am urgh I pooped. Waiting for my husband to get home so he can go see him he didn't see him yet because he got sick at the hospital and had to leave.
Here is a photo I took last night. I had to take this photo without the flash seems alittle dark.

He's Coming

Well the baby's heartbeat is dipping down to 120 and a couple times got to 99 so they are inducing her now instead of tonight. Say a prayer for them.

New Baby is Coming

Well looks like the new grandbaby will be here on Friday they are going to induce her Thursday night. His name is Leland James. Well you would think after 3 other grandchildren I would be an old pro, but you get so excited for your kids and them starting a new chapter in their life's. They have tried for several years to get pregnant and then the dr.'s told them she couldn't have kids then voila two weeks later oopps your pregnant. Very nice surprise for them, they are so excited! Keep them in your prayers for an uneventful delivery.
