Snuggles with mommy...

Did your heart melt like mine does or is it just a gramma thing????

Berkeley update.... Praise Report!

This morning Milady called us and told us that Berkeley was in the room with them! She is out of the NICU after being told yesterday that it could be up to a week that she could be in there!! God is good! She is nursing well and may even get to come home tonight!! This is awesome news. They will do another blood test tonight and her "Bili Rubin" count is down then they can go home!!

Thanks for praying!

FFF # 34 "UP" More Grandbaby Pictures and Update

This is me UP on cloud nine!!!! I am holding my grand baby, Berkeley Ryland, but don't look too close to me we had been up since Tuesday am with only bits and pieces of sleep and it was about 11:00 here on Thursday am!!
This is her on the scales!!! Look at that weight!!!

My beautiful grand baby after getting cleaned up!!! And then...

The next morning they took her too the NICU because she was having labored breathing and they wanted to monitor her. They also found a heart murmur, but they think it is the valve at the back of the heart that will close on it's own. If not there is meds they can give for that. She is also now jaundiced too. There are a few more issues, but I'm asking you all to pray for Berkeley and us.

Thanks!

My brand new grandbaby!!

Berkeley Ryland was born at 9:33 this morning!! She is beautiful. She weighed in at 8 lbs and 15.5 ounces. She was 23 1/4 inches long. Milady and Chad and Berkeley did wonderfully. She had 37 hours of labor though and is very tired, we all are.

There is nothing like seeing your grandbaby be born. You cry because her mommy is hurting and then you cry when she is born and then you cry when she is getting nursed for the first time.... It is all so emotional, I can't put it all into words!

But it is the best feeling in the world in the world!!

FFF # 33 "New" Is the Theme

No Picture, ( I posted those a few days ago) but a prayer request..... We are waiting for our NEW grandbaby to be born. I was hoping I would have pictures for this post of her....

My daughter, Milady, is now 3 days over due with her first baby. It is a girl..... Berkeley

Would you all please pray that the baby is ready and will be born soon. Milady is getting to the "Come on, PLEASE Berkeley" stage. She takes walks, does squats, eats spicy foods, bounces on a huge Pilates ball ( thanks Kelly), even jogged a little, does ALL the things that are supposed to help labor to start. Heidy even begs Berkeley to come out!! Heidy wants to see her NEW niece.

I know she will be born when God wants her to, but most importantly I want her to be healthy and Milady to have an easy labor.

Would you please prayfor our NEW baby and my daughter? Thank you so much!!

Heidyism on Giving Birth

No baby yet, but here was the conversation tonight....

Milady... "I need to go pee." and left the room

Heidy... "Don't pee Berkeley out" as Milady is leaving the room.

We all died laughing and wishing IF it were only that easy!!!

Milady's Birthday

Saturday the 17th, was Milady's 25th birthday. We were hoping she would have her baby that day, but it didn't happen. Chad planned a birthday lunch for her, with some friends here. He had pink balloons for all of them to put under their shirts so that Milady wouldn't feel alone!!

What I want to be when I grow up.....

Last night Heidy was praying, and said "I'm not a teenager God, but when I get 6 or 8 or 7 or 18, I will be" Not sure why she prayed about that.

I was telling Milady that this morning and Milady asked Heidy what she wanted to be when she grew up....

"Heidy what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"An Octopus" ... Heidy then said "no I am kidding... I want to be a Dora that turns into a Mermaid. I'm not telling this for fake."

Then Milady and I talked about what all of the kids wanted to be when they grew up...

Jordan -- A Paleontologist
Milady -- An Aerobics Teacher
Skyler -- A dinosaur
Heidy -- An Octopus or Dora that turns into a mermaid.....

Am I doing something wrong????


No baby yet........
