jadecatWe got the call late last night- Jake Steven decided that last night was a good time to make his introduction to the world. :)
He was due on the 6th, and we went to spend time with them at the hospital on the 10th, but little Jake was having NONE of it. He missed his due date, his missed his sister's second birthday (which pleased my step-daughter) and missed his Grandpa's predicted birthday of 11-11. We got a call last night from the hubby's ex-wife who let us know "We're having a baby!" Then last night around 11:30 the step-daughter called to let us know that 'He's here!'
Yeah, she called, after giving birth... Apparently she got her epidural this time (last time she had pitocin and they waited too long to check and then couldn't give her the epidural... this time there was no pitocin and there was an epidural). So she was in good spirits, and couldn't really feel anything below the waist so it didn't hurt yet. *grins* From what we could hear through the phone the boy has good lungs, . :) 7lbs, 8oz, 21 inches long. Respectable weigh in. :)
So now I have a grandson AND a granddaughter.
Since we were there Saturday we were able to see Baby B and give her birthday presents. :) The educational one first (for her little LeapPad), then the bright pink stuffed pony, and THEN the bright pink Barbie ballet outfit (complete with 'ballet slippers'). (Yeah, she's a girly girl. :) ) Before she really understood what the dress was she insisted on wearing the shoes (girl loves shoes...) and demonstrated her dancing for us. Which is when I discovered that my camera takes good video. :) Once she figured out what the ballet outfit was (and that it was like the dancing Barbies on the wrapping paper) she wanted to wear it. I got a little clip of her dancing in it- but hubby had showed her how the camera worked, and I made the mistake of showing her the prior video clips of her dancing- so when she saw the camera aimed at her she wanted to watch herself dancing... I may subject you to these clips.
