Welcome Adelyn Grayce!


I got an instant message about 2:30 am, just as I was checking my email when I got home from work. Bri asked if I was online and I answered I was. "My water just broke" she said. Renee stayed with the kids until 6 am and I went over so Renee could get ready and go to work. Gage woke up for a few minutes when I got there. With a sippy cup of water and a little coaxing he went back to bed. Kaitlyn woke up for just a few minutes as well and then went back to bed until 8. I could not sleep. Scott kept me awake when I tried to sleep from 4 am till 5:30 am, but was crunching on something while laying in bed. How annoying!!! I was not happy with him.

I went over and got the kids fed and dressed when they got up, and a neighbor came and took Kaitlyn to school and Kaisa to play with her kids. Gage spent the day with me. Gage took a nap about 11:30 and slept about an hour and a half . When he woke up he had had diahrhea and it was all up his back inside his shirt. I was changing him and realized he had quite the mess. So we had him take a bath and he decided to take all the toys in the tub with him.

Jon finally called about 12:30 and said that the baby was born with no difficulties for the most part. The cord was wrapped around the baby's neck 3 times but they were able to get that taken care of easily. They named her Adelyn Grayce and she is a beauty. She was 7 pounds and 1 ounce and 20 and 1/2 inches long. She has lighter hair than Gage and Kaisa did. She is a good baby. The kids are excited they have a new sister.
The kids were surprised to wake up and see Grama there instead of mommy and daddy. I fed them breakfast and got them dressed. A neighbor came and took Kaitlyn to school, and Kaisa to play with her kids. Gage and I had a "Grama and Me" day.
Gage work up from his nap with diarhea all up his back. He had had too many bananas the day before and they got to him. He was a mess! Grama had to put him in the tub, and wash the sheet, and his clothes. He decided he had to have all the toys in the tub with him.

That sure is a cute baby!
proud daddy
