Grandbaby #33

Arrived by C section this morning May 13 at 6:18 MST.

Details as I heard them this morning at 7:00. Girl

6 lbs Possible name: Annabelle

My DS sounded almost like he was shell shocked. I talked to them last night about 10:30 and we were betting on possible delivery dates. Her ultrasound date was the 14th, I was betting on the 22nd, my son was betting on the

25th. Boy did she surprise us!

Water broke at 1:00 - headed for hospital, hospital did a check and sent her home saying "see you in a few days" Went back to hospital about 4:30, they called in the doc. Apparently baby was breach and doc did fast C section. DS said spinal didn't work so they knocked her right out. When he called me, Mom wasn't awake yet and didn't know anything about baby yet.

This is my youngest son, and their first baby. They are 6 hours away! Now I have to decide on the best time to go see my new granddaughter! There is something so special about seeing them when they are first born. Kind of like a bonding time.

Hoping to talk to DS again later today. Want to head out there tomorrow, but don't want to add more stress for them, and don't want to share my limited time with all the Mom's family who live close by.

I hate being so far from my kids sometimes!

Congrats Marilyn! Am I reading the subject right that this is number

33 in the line of grandchildren for you? That is truly amazing! I would require a cheat sheet for names and birthdates!

I hope mom and baby are doing well and get to head for home soon!

Thanks Dannielle Yep - you got it. 33. That's what happens when you get married 3 times. And the 3rd DH has been married twice before. We both inherited? kids (step kids) along the way. When we got together he had 7 and I had 9. We do not have nor do we plan to have more! These grandbabies are also blended families. Several of our children have married a partner that already had children. One of the grandchildren lives with our X - DIL. We get along with her great and she now has another little one. Well, we can't go there as grama and grampa to one and not the other! So, you see how it goes - now there are 33!

Biologically, this new baby Annabelle is #4 for me.

Yeah, I use a list at Christmas so I don't forget anyone. Birthdays all go on the calendar. I was laughing the other day cause we are running out of weeks! 33 grands + 16 kids = 49 not to mention the kids-in-law. Birthdays are already doubled up on days. Pretty crazy just the number of phone calls that come in. I've talked to 5 of the kids already today!

Congratulations! I'd love to have just one!

When you said they sent her home after her water broke... I was surprised. Have they changed the "rules" since my guys were born. Water breaking meant delivery... they didn't want you to go home because of vulnerability to infection and the lack of protection (that water bubble) should the mama take a fall.

Regardless... happy happy to the entire family!!!!

Yeah, I wondered about that too. Haven't talked to DS again yet tonight. I'm sure DDIL will be able to fill me in better when I get there. I'm hoping to head out there for the weekend. It's a long weekend for us here in Canada. DH has to work all weekend but I'll go check out this little bundle of joy myself!
