the adventure continues...Elliott Grace is here...

Well our 6th grandchild is here...Elliott Grace surprised us all yesterday just after 12 noon....I think we had almost given up....Sonda had just gotten a sandwich and we were going to go and get some paint... (I have painted 2 bathrooms that they put new tile and fixtures in....you need to do something while waiting...1 more to go...) So we were getting ready...and suddenly OPPS...her water breaks..(mind you...this is about 12 noon...) I went and got the boys from school...and we all went to the birthing center...Sonda was planning on having this one with the water birth...(that is what was PLANNED with Wyatt..but no go...) so she calls the birthing center and has them start the tub...we get the the center just before 1 pm and after being checked...we know that it won't be long...within 10-15 minutes she is in the tub...and Elliott Grace was born at 1:48.. She of course is perfect and beautiful...(just like her Mom) and I will try and post some pictures tomorrow... We brought her home last night...(Sonda only stayed 6 hrs after giving birth...)I have been doing early night duty...(probably until about 2-3) so here I sit...Grammy with baby...trying to type this...I am not a good typer to start with... Stats.... Elliott Grace 7 lbs 1 oz 21 1/4 inches Feb.25, 2008 Also....continue to remember Chami and Jon... She has additional Surgery scheduled for March 5th...they will be taking multipe byopsies and checking for additional areas of overian cancer...then she will be starting Chemo... blessings, Debbi

Congratulations on your new Grandchild! I also pray that the ovarian cancer will be treated and all will be well. May God bless all of them and you too!

Thanks Marcia...blessings sent back to you, also

Congratulations on the new little bundle of joy. Continued prayers for Chami and Jon as they go through their frightening issues. You must me on an emotional rollercoaster.....

Thanks Ann, She really is a Bundle of Joy...and such a good baby... thanks for your prayers for Chami & Jon....

Congratulations on the new grandchild, Debbie! Wow I can't believe they come home so early these days. I can't wait to see the photos of her. Continued prayers for Chami and Jon.

thanks Chelle... It is amazing how things are done today...have a baby and be home in 8 hours.... I will try and get those pics posted soon.. thanks for your continued prayers...

Congratulations Debbi!! That was a quick birth!! Enjoy....I love babies!

Karen... Yes I am afraid when they have the next one (they plan on at least one more...) that they wont make it at all...I think that they are planning the at home birth thing for the next one... I love babies also...it is cool that I will have the 2 girls now so close in age... Emma Grace...born Feb 8th...(with LOTS of dark hair) and now Elliott Grace...born Feb 25th....(blonde...but nearly bald...) but I love em...

Congrats on the new baby! I love that name, very unique for a girl! Keep us posted on Chami, I'm sure you're very concerned about her.
