The day sure goes slowly when you're waiting to be a grandma.  It's so hard to know when to be at the hospital and when is it just too soon. At 5:30 pm, we were told she was dilated to 4-5. At 6:45 as we were driving to the hospital (we couldn't stay away any longer) we were called and told she jumped to 9 1/2. We got there and my dil's mother was just kicked out of the birthing room. Not long after (ok, it felt like hours) we were introduced to Brianna Lynn.

4. This is how she liked her hands when she was all bundled up.
5 I love this too, dad and daughter fingers.
6. I can't leave out proud grandpa. It's his birthday today, he wished he shared his b-day with Bri. She just couldn't wait. |

| She's a sweetheart! Love the picture of her holding her daddy's finger. He's probably already wrapped around her little finger. |

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too

When you own a Rattie....you KNOW you are in your right mind 
THE MEANING OF RESCUE
Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm... Yes there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?

Thank You everyone. It means so much to share these pictures and moments with you. All your kind words are out of this world wonderful.
Today Brianna looked less sore and puffy. She slept much of the day. I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
Now I can join the other grandma's and grandpa's here and understand what you mean when you say how fantastic this
feeling is. Nothing can compare. Thanks again. It means more then you'll ever know. |
