Waaay OT but fun news!
I'm a Grandma!
Addison Carlee Erickson was born yesterday, May 25, at 8:55 am. DIL had quite a bit of trouble during her pregnancy, so they had decided to induce her a bit early. Good thing....her due date was June 8 but Addison, two weeks early, weighed in at a hefty 9 lbs, 2 oz. and was 22" long!!! She has lots of dark hair about 1 1/2" long, which she'll probably lose to become blonde like her mommy & daddy (DD did the same thing). And chipmunk cheeks...can't forget those chipmunk cheeks! :) DIL ended up having a C-section after 12 hrs of unproductive labor and then, somewhere along the line, they realized the baby was face up, so they decided on the C-section. They're both fine. Addison had quite the little conehead when she first came out. lol! I was amazed at how rapidly it went back to normal, though. Pictures are in my webshots album if you're interested.... http://community.webshots.com/user/ndjoan This next part will get a bit long so you might want to stop reading now if you don't want to be bored! The other part of the story is that my dad (88) is also in the hospital. He had his knee replaced 2 weeks ago, got sent home a week later before he was really ready (Mom couldn't help him up when he fell), went downhill and ended up back in the hospital last Thurs. He has pneumonia, (which is getting better) and now they discovered a problem with his epiglottis (the valve that covers the trachea when swallowing). The upside is that he's walking much better now and they'll put him in the rehab hospital or elder care until he builds up his upper body strength and he's *really* ready to go home, which should have happened the first time around. So, I've been getting lots of exercise because he is at the far west end of the hospital and Dani & Addison are at the far east end! It's always something...... Joan |

Joan So Joan, are you Grandma or Nana, or what? I know this spoiled beauty is going to adore you and she needs to call you something. I hope your dad's recovery is swift and uneventful. Lucille |

Congrats. Grandma! :)
DDil Irene will have a c-section July 9th due to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. She can not bend her knees and so giving birth "au natural" is impossible for her. She and DSon Erick have a couple of names,but they aren't telling. They want to see which one "fits" Bug when she arrives. So far I am enjoying the two boys during their visit. Give Addison a Nonnie hug from me. Bobbie V. |

I'm a Grandma! Congratulations to all of you! What a wonderful event. You've been "promoted" from DM to DGM! And I can imagine your mom is overjoyed to be promoted to DGGM. (I know I hear frequently from my mother that she wants this promotion. I tell her I have no say in when/whether it happens.) Hugs for baby Addison and your DF. As for size, it must be those hearty Scandinavian genes. Mine were all along similar lines. Uff da! Sue -- Susan Hartman |
