I cannot remember having to wait so long for anything this wonderful before!!!! But after 37 hours of labor, (Mommy really wanted a natural childbirth) and a baby facing down instead of up, who would not come out no matter how hard they tried, they succumbed to a C-section (not an emergency; baby was never in distress) and she was delivered at 11:26 a.m. today (August 14th, 2 days before her actual due date); weighing 6 lbs. 5 oz. She is perfect in every way.
She is our fifth grand child. Born to my son, Dan and his beautiful wife, Jackie.
Grandma Lynn did not sleep all night wanting to be awake for any calls that might come in...having a hard time understanding what a long labor was considering her two children were born 30 minutes and 17 minutes respectfully after reaching the hospital. I do everything fast.
So here she is! We have not been told a name yet. Something else to look forward to. They'll be in the hospital for four days/nights before they can go home.
Welcome sweet girl we love you so much already!

Aaaw Lynn, she's precious, just a precious gift of God precious!
ReplyDeleteI didn't wait this long for mine either, nor for Jack.
So happy for you,,and that all is well with her and her parents!
Grandma better get some sleep now. :-)
How soon will you see her in person?
Congratulations to ALL of you!
Eager to learn her name too!
unbelievable,,,my word verification: perti
And she sure is!
;-) sweet, Babs...and thanks for your good wishes.
ReplyDeleteBaby has four sets of grand parents. One lives in the same town. Two sets live in NYC. (her parents/divorced) and us. So locals will get first hugs; Jackies' mom will fly in later this month for a week; her dad after that for a week...I figure they'll need some alone time with the baby themselves so will wait and see how they feel and when they really want more company. Then I will fly up! Probably on my own steam by then. But will wait patiently.
Congrats to the Parents. Bummer about the C section but its the end result that counts..A Healthy Happy Baby. Cris, Artist in Oregon
ReplyDeleteCongratulations grandma Lynnie, to you and your family...such a blessing is a baby and she so beautiful...blessings upon you all. xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that the wait is over and the result is such a cutie pie. 37 hours of labor - oh, that is tough, and then a c-section on top of that. I hope mom has some opportunity to rest after that. Congratulations to the entire family.
ReplyDeleteOh she is a sweetie pie!! Congratulations! It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that you told us she was expected! Tine flies! Unless it's 37 hours of labor though!
ReplyDeleteWell worth the wait!! What a beautiful little girl. Many congratulations to all!
ReplyDeleteOh, Lynn! She's BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations to all of you!!! May she live a long, healthy and happy life. Blessings & Hugs, Terri xoxo
