May I introduce you to...............

My 6th grandchild/ 2nd granddaughter was born this morning on the day of my youngest child's 24th birthday. Please go HERE to get some details and see a picture.



Kailey is showing early (very early according to the Nurse signs of Jaundace so Please say a prayer that all she will need is the Light for the next 24 - 48 hours to right everything in her system and she will be home in time for Thanksgiving.

What's worse than being 9 months pregnant??????

Brittney found out today - it is way worse to be 38 weeks pregnant and dehydrated. She has suddenly started boomaranging her food this weekend. She eats it hit's her stomach and she.......boom a rang! She went to the doctor this morning and he sent her downstairs immediately to get an IV. Luckily a friend of ours was off work and was able to sit with the younger 2 at the hospital ALL DAY LONG........maybe I should say a former friend of ours....ummm Donna are you there, Donna why are you running as I walk up to you???? Donna - Donna DONNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously we OWE her big time!



I had staff meeting & jobs that have to be booked TODAY and RC was across the bay......Randy? You ask where Randy is - He is in Canada freezing his Floridian butt off!



By the way did I mention I broke AC's heart? We have been telling him for a few weeks now that any day he may come out of School and NaNa, Grandpa, or Grandma there to pick him up cause Mommy had Kailey.............well today I went to pick him up because Brittney was still getting her IV and RC wasn't close enough to get him on time so he was headed to the Hospital to pick up the boys so Donna could have a least a couple of minutes of her Vacation day to herself. AC comes out with a grin from ear to ear -------he was beaming, his teacher is walking up quickly with him and I tell AC "Kailey isn't here, Mommy is at the doctor's getting a bag of water like you did when you had pneumonia because she has been sick." Both AC and the teachers face fell............I felt like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. The teacher touched my arm and asked is she really okay? I thought that was great that she cares that much. AC was super quiet all the way home and kept biting his lip, I'm thinking he was worried about Mommy, She's at home now and can reassure him that all is fine. He was kind of bummed that he got back to work with me, got his snack (I happened to have a sample of an Aikens Bar from the grocery store in my bag) got his sprite and was ready to hang for awhile and Daddy got there to pick him up......AC wasn't ready to leave, he had planned to do his homework here.



I'll keep you posted - but so far Kailey is hanging in there!




I'll leave you with the proof Grandpa is a good babysitter......see Andrew asleep with his blanket/rabbit in front of the TV, AC asleep on the pillow from the couch and Trace dead to the world on the couch? Where was Mommy & Grandma you ask - Playing Bunko.

Tired of Waiting

I cannot justify waiting until I get around to getting pictures ready to post any longer so I'm going to update and then will actually give you pictures later........maybe even today but we will see.

We have Kailey's room mostly ready for her....still want to find a decent priced change table & glider to match her crib and dresser but that may have to wait for a while due to the fact that the one I would love to buy for Britt is expensive!

Brittney has all her unpacking done with the exception of a few boxes in her bedroom and her lanai - which will have to wait for us to find a shed for the back yard because they do not have a garage and the stuff on the Lanai is "garage type stuff".

Randy and RC completed their ride across the state - in fact Randy did better than he was even expecting to. He wanted to complete the ride in group 2 and 3 (the groups ride at different speeds - the fastest group runs at an average of 23 - 26 mph, group 2 is 20 - 25 etc... they had a total of 8 groups if I understand them right.) Anyway, he spent the last 3 months training for this ride where most of the people running the ride have been training since the last ride a year ago. Randy, my hero, ran in group 2 the whole ride, every bit of the 200 plus miles.......I am so proud of him!

Me I've been working, stressing, worring - so basically nothing new here!
