In case you didn’t know, my oldest daughter was due to have her first baby on June 30th. Her doctor agreed to take the baby on the 24th of June so GRANDMA - that's me - could be there. My oldest children live in a different state. I missed the birth of my first two grandchildren and was so excited to be in on this one. I bought a train ticket for the 22nd of June. Yeeeeesss!! HOWEVER - Grandma being there for the birth was apparently NOT IN THE CARDS because our sweet little Angel came MONDAY (two days ago), a full 6 weeks early! 5 lbs 4 oz. The delivery was rough for my daughter, a c-section was performed. My daughter had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and had to be fully sedated. The baby's lungs are not mature and her eating reflexes not up to speed yet. She's in NICU but doing better as of last night. Her prognosis is good - so we are welcoming a brand new little person into our family!! WELCOME LITTLE ANGEL!!
