The happy new family!

I want to say a big thank you for all your prayers and good wishes for the kids. I know a lot of you out there have been pulling for us the past few days and I really appreciate it.
They finally got a room at the hospital Friday morning. Part of the problem was not enough heart monitors for induced patients. They broke her water at 2:30pm and thats when the show got on the road. Doctor asked her if she wanted a c-section at 9pm. She said no. He asked again saying it was a big baby. She still wanted to try and have her. Labored all night and finally had her this morning with not much of an epidural left. Can I say there was a whole lot of pushing going on? For about 30 minutes! Almost a 10 pound baby! She passed out afterwards. But is doing fine tonight. And Bella is healthy! Shoot...she looks like she is two months old!
I did fine...didn't even need my pink kleenex!
Not sure if all of this has sunk in yet.
I don't have to tell you she's the
most beautiful baby in the world.
I just have 3 words to say.
Fab-U-Lous!
That's what being a grandmother feels like!
Now I know why my mom always gushed about her grandkids.
I'm pretty sure I'm following in her footsteps.
I am totally blessed!

blessings from my delighted heart to yours!

I'll have more photos to show in the next few days
but I promise this won't become a baby blog!
Thanks for indulging me!

ps. Thank you Lord for this precious new life. I know you have wonderful plans for Miss Bella because your Word declares it in Jeremiah 29:11.
And Psalm 139:13 says you formed her inward parts and You covered her in her mother's womb. And she is fearfully and wonderfully made.
And she is perfect.
Thank you Lord.
Now it's time for the pink kleenex!
