Re: I'm a Grandma now!!!

I live in Colorado and they live in San Diego, CA. So I'm to far to drive, but can certainly hop on a plane. Last Tues my son called me at 1:00 in the afternoon and said the doctor was admitting her to the hospital and was going to induce labor. I called hubby, he made plane reservation for me and my 8 yr old and we were on the plane by 6:00pm. Got to the hospital in San Diego at 10:30 and she was born at 1:30am. So I was very fortunate to get a flight so quickly. Anyway, all is well. My son is in the Navy and deploys in Sept. His wife and Noa Anne are moving back to Colorado while he is deployed, so I'll be able to see that little girl a lot in a few months. I may just have to wait. (darn)

Re: I'm a Grandma now!!!

Kate...I bet that was so difficult. My oldest, now 26 was 5lbs 4oz, but lost 6 oz before we went home. All was ok, so got to go home after 4 days, and I remember how hard that was. I just can't imagine 7 weeks!

I have a favor to ask of everyone, pleaseeeeee... Beezz helped walk me through putting up a guestbook. My son and daughter in law do not have a computer, so they go to the library every other day to check email and look at the website. Instead of sending the world their email address, and telling them how many people were sending the best wishes, I thought of doing a guestbook. Could I impose on all my good friends in Voda Land to sign their guestbook! It would really mean a lot to me and them. Here it is: http://noahanne.com/guestbook

I think it should work! Thanks a bunch. It will be fun for them to see people from all over the world signing their guestbook and sending out their prayers!!

Peace,
Cindy

Hi Cindy

Congratulations! What a great idea to sign the guest book, I've already sent your son and daughter in law my wishes. It will be a tremedous feeling for you all when she can be held in her mothers arms.

All of my best

Cindy - it was very hard. His father and I would travel 50miles to where he was and spend the weekends at the McDonalds House. Its hard to believe now that after he came home it was like having a tiny doll...lol..now I have to stand on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek!...lol...

Hey all, I've been out of town on business, but thought I would stop in and share a picture of my new granddaughter without all the tubes. She is home now and doing great!

No problem. I have a soft spot for children and animals because they are the most helpless and innocent among us. Now adults on the other hand, I can take 'em or leave 'em. LOL

Cindy (grandma),
Your granddaughter is beautiful. So glad she is home. I used to work in the neonatal intensive care so I know how scary it can be for the whole family. I have two nieces that were born weighing 2lbs. One is now 24 and the other is 18. Both are perfect.
All the best to you and your family,
