Grandson arrived on Valentine's Day! Pictures to follow very soon. I'm very techie challenged and need my hubby's help with pics, but he is ill today, running a fever, coughing and in bed as I type this. A very tense week-end...here's the story.
The week-end started as a chocolate week-end. Our Valentine's Day TRADITION is to share chocolates and exchange cards. We dived and dug into the large heart shaped box of Russell Stover's chocolates on Saturday...it was a family thing. Sure was good and from what I researched about chocolate being so healthy for people I didn't feel guilty at all eating my portion of sweetness.
I stayed up late til 2:30 in the morning and daughter knocked on the bedroom door around 6:30 in the morning. Short nite. She had received a text message from my son who's wife was expecting. Daughter-In-Law's water broke.
Hubby and I exchanged our Valentine's Cards, hugged, kissed...wished each other a HaPpY Valentine's Day, finished packing and on the road by 9. My son, Tinman, would text message his sister as we rode in the same car for 6 hours. Prayed all the way.
Weather wasn't the best and ran into snow and slick roads on the way. Would find out later that there were two serious car pile ups around Kansas City. We had driven through both of these areas earlier in the day.
Arrived at the Hospital around 3 in the afternoon. Tinman shared how things were going and it was difficult for him to talk. Baby's heart rate would slow down when it wasn't suppose to be slowing down. There was some blood showing up in the fluids. Concern about it all. A very long and tense afternoon. Prayed the entire time.
At 6:22 PM Ryna, precious daughter-in-law delivered a 9 pound boy, nearly 22 inches long with light brownish blonde hair and blue eyes. He was too blue and was taken to be observed in different part of hospital.
Tinman was getting ill with temperature, headache and horrible cough. I don't know if he has held his new born son yet or not. Will be calling later today to see how all is going.
Around 8 PM Tinman said he hadn't ate all day. We were going to take him out for a celebration meal at Olive Garden. Roads were bad. Arrived at OG and of course there was a wait, drove on to his home, fixed mac and cheese. He ate and went back to the Hospital to be with wife and sleep in Hospital Room...no bed...slept on the floor. We decided to stay at their home and not go back to Hospital that night since the baby was being observed. I was emotionally spent. Toddler woke up around 3 in the morning crying because she was home sick and missed her purple stuffed toy Barney. I wasn't able to easily fall back asleep. Short nite. Tired.
Next morning Son came home very sick, went to bed. I should have offered to take him to the doctor's and get him some medicine. I'm not too pleased with being over tired and not thinking as clearly as I wished I would have been.
We went to get some flowers, and a card for the new momma. Some snowflakes had landed on my coat. They were beautiful and well defined. Amazing how detailed a snowflake is. In the afternoon we were able to see and hold our new Grandson. He's a good looking boy! Chubby cheeks that are kissable. Melts my heart to see these newborn babies that are my babies babies. If you know what I mean. Ryna looked well, but tired. We stayed for 30 minutes, took a few pics and headed home. Weather wasn't the best to travel in. Arrived home very, very late.
Safely home.
Will be checking up on this sweet family. Baby was born on Valentine's Day. Can you believe it?
Thought it would be best if Toddler slept in. Today is Tuesday and Toddler slept til 10. She was hot with a temperature and coughing. She told me she was coughing just like her Uncle.
Hubby went to Doctor's for a cough that came on way too fast. Came home with a fever and Bronchitis. Daughter is ill as well with chills, headache...
Dear Lord, We need a healing touch from you. Thank you, in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
