Audrey Emeline Has Arrived

 
Tuesday morning, just as I stepped out of the car at work, my phone rang. It was my very pregnant daughter on the other end. "Mom, I think we need to go to the hospital." And from there, one crazed grandmother-to-be raced down I-45, with hazards flashing, making her way to her daughter's place of abode. She broke a few laws getting there, but she didn't get caught.

 
Upon arrival at the hospital, daughter was dilated 4-5 centimeters, and Miss Audrey Emeline was delivered at 2:59 p.m. Nonni cut the cord.


It's been an exhilerating, exhausting and amazing few days. Audrey and her mom have been resting at Nonni's since yesterday. More pictures will follow, of course, but for now, Audrey and I are bonding. Blogging can wait. ♦

    I'm so thrilled for you, Gayle. I'm thrilled for Leslie too, of course. Both you and Leslie are just oozing with love and pride!! Audrey is beautiful and I would so love to hold her. I almost cried when I read you cut the cord. That's priceless. Oh I just love all three of you.
