Finally, I am a Grammy! After a 22 hour labor, Lil Man arrived into this world. Naturally, we all believe he is the cutest, smartest, and most charming baby of all times.
He had a challenging entrance into the world. He had an early bowel movement and inhaled some of that and the cord had started to wrap around his neck. His respirations were very rapid so he had to be taken for observation. By then, I had been without sleep for over 30 hours, was exhausted, but I asked my husband to take me in the wheelchair (with oxygen) to find Lil Man. We found a window where we could see them tending to him and I sat there to begin my prayer vigil for him. It was my first time to have the tangible face and being of our Lil Man to pray for and pray we did.
God is so faithful and within 3 hours of his birth, his coloring improved, respirations returned to normal, and he was given a clean bill of health and returned to his Mommy and Daddy. God had erased all discussion of Intensive Care, feeding tubes, oxygen and IV's for Lil Man.
He weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces. He was 23 inches long. He has brown eyes and brown hair -- a fair amount of hair covering his tiny head. He is preparing to leave the hospital as I type.
My beloved family physician who has cared for me all of my 12 years + of leukemia was on hand for the delivery. She wept with us as I held Lil Man for the first time. I rejoiced that the Lord had given me these years to experience being a grandmother. I am madly in love.
