Sunday I became a grandma. Everyone has said I would love it and I do. I loved her immediately. It was a little strange to see things from a different point of view.
April was very brave and did a great job. Rakay (Gary's sister) was her labor and delivery nurse. It was wonderful having someone we knew there. Plus, she is a great nurse. April was in very good hands. April's doctor was wonderful also. Sam was a trooper too, especially since he didn't have a clue what was going to happen.
Since she decided to come 5 weeks early, Lily only weighed 5 lbs. and 10 ounces. She was breathing great right from the start. She did have a little trouble keeping her body temperature up, so she was a little body in a big wrapper. Unfortunately, she is jaundiced and will have to stay in the hospital a little longer. She be home by tomorrow and Sam and April's little family will be complete.
Welcome Lily!
