The Sweetest Thing

No matter where you are in life, no matter you circumstances…your troubles, your worries, your sadnesses…having the tiny fingers of a newborn baby wrapped around your finger brings a sense of peace and contentment that is like no other. Watching a newborn quietly assimilate her new w[...]

There’s No Place Like Home

My new granddaughter, Leilah Nicole, came home from the hospital today.  She’s been through quite a traumatic event in the last couple of days with mommy’s body ousting her from her warm and cozy little woom and shoving her out into the world.  But she’s dealt with it amazingly w[...]

Dear Leilah – 4:07 AM

  You’re here!  And you’re adorable!  You got here at 3:33 AM on January 14th.     Mommy did an awesome job and barely made a noise the whole time you were being born.  When mommy was ready to push, Nurse Shannon called the doctor and told mommy to hold on.  But she didn’t t[...]

Dear Leilah – 2:16 AM

  Your mommy is a trooper, girl.  And so are you.   Still 5cm dilated but Dr. Clark just broke your mommy’s water.  When you sister was being born, almost 6 years ago, they had to do that too and it moved things along.  Hopefully, it will convince you that you need to swim out and see us.[...]

Dear Leilah – 11:15 PM

  Well, baby, you are trying to get out, that’s for sure.  I think you’re using your fist to try to break mommy’s water but can you take it easy on her for a bit?   Mommy is 3cm dilated now and, I know you wonder what in the world is happening, cause the contractions are getting[...]

Dear Leilah – 9:15 PM

  You are on your way!   I’m at the hospital with you mommy and daddy and we got here about an hour ago.   I spent the day with your mommy.  We went to lunch at Chick-fil-a and then did a little shopping.  Then we went to pick up your big sister, Mikayla from school.  I told your sister [...]

Quick as a Wink

Two quick pieces of news on my two granddaughters.   Seems Mikayla lost her second tooth last week when she was with dad.  Not sure how she’ll eat an apple right now, but the options for straw usage are awesome!   Looks like my second granddaughter, Leilah Nicole, is eminent.  Kelly was s[...]

December Showers

  The baby shower to celebrate the impending birth of my next granddaugher, Leilah Nicole, was a resounding success.  We had some GREAT food (of course!) and I had almost 30 people ensconced in my little “cottage”.   A good time was had by all.   The cake was provided by Kelly’[...]

A Birth and a Death

Today I’m providing a venue for my youngest daughter and her husband’s baby shower to celebrate the arrival of my next granddaughter, Leilah Nicole.  My oldest daughter is hostessing the shower but at the time the party was planned she was living in a 900 sq foot apartment with a room m[...]
