Baby #1......nope, not mine


Though this is MY baby #1, it's not the one I'm referring to, read on.

I haven't gotten to see Lee yet, since his return from 2 weeks in Michigan, but popped onto facebook this evening and was jolted to alertness when I saw his most recent mobile upload! For any of you that know my family.......this took me back 25 years to when Lawrence and I started dating!! He really does look alot like his dad. Of course, I don't like the beard, it's too scruffy and makes his chin that much bigger. But I love the boy, so whatever. He did say it was the last time he went 3 weeks without shaving........whew.........

I've just come from the hospital where the first of three nephews/niece to be born this year, was. Cace Josiah came into this world at 7:39 this morning. That's pronounced: hard c, soft c - as in a "case" of the flu. It's Irish.....as is his mama. Unfortunately, there are no pictures yet. He went directly to NICU due to poor breathing and is still there. He was born by C-section, so didn't get the nice squeeeeze that a vaginal birth gives, thus still has some fluid in his lungs and an irregular breathing pattern. Mama is doing okay, very nauseated from the anesthesia and pain medication. Daddy is staying pretty much by Cace's side and praying. He has a little IV in his arm, and an oxygen tent. His color looks good, heart rate is strong and no murmer. So we're all thankful for an easy delivery and praying for quick recovery for mama and strengthened lungs for baby. Cace weighed 7.2 and was 20 inches long. I will post pictures once I can get my hands on that little critter!
