We finally have a baby!!! Born on Saturday, February 9, 2013, weighing 9 lbs 11 oz and 22 inches long. Born at 3:28 PM CST. What's that??? You want to know what the baby is?????? Well, okay!!!! Meet my new grandson, James Braxton Grainger.
I am absolutely, 100 percent in love. He had a few problems right after birth. He was born at home which was my daughter and son-in-law's choice. He was having trouble breathing so the ambulance was called. When they got there, he was breathing fine, crying and pinking up. They decided to go on to the hospital to make sure everything was okay. He checked out fine but the doctor want to keep him for 48 hours to make sure there was no infection. He has aspirated meconium at delivery so they wanted to be sure pneumonia didn't result. He got a complete checkup and he and Abby came home today.
Mom and baby are doing great and I know both Abby and Doug are happy to be home. The most important thing is that James is healthy and Mom is also. She's really tired and weak but she will be fine now.
I haven't been able to get down yet to see him. I had some kind of virus on Saturday so we didn't got down Sunday. It looks like now it will be the weekend before I can get my hands on that bundle of joy. I'm just so happy he is finally here and is healthy and that Abby is fine also.
This was made just after they came home so she could post on Facebook.
Wow, I'm a grandmother to 4 now, 2 girls and 2 boys. Life is great.
Hugs,
Sharon
