Oh, baby!

I was awakened by the beeping of my cell phone at the arrival of a text message from Frank at 3:15 AM. He said that Abby was at the hospital with contractions. Later this morning he called to tell me that they had sent her home because they didn't think she was in real labor - much against Abby's wishes. HOWEVER, less than two hours later she gave birth to a baby boy in an ambulance as she was being rushed back to the hospital!!! The same lady that sent her home was there to congratulate her when she returned. She should have been offering a big apology if you ask me. The baby, named Adrias Jyel, only weighed five pounds something, so he's a tiny one and sooo perfectly beautiful. I forgot to take my camera along in to the hospital this evening, and felt too tired to walk out to the car and get it, so the pictures below were taken with my cell phone and aren't the best.

My niece Marcy (the one who is a paraplegic) is also at the same hospital in labor even as I write. We are all eager to hear of the safe birth of a little girl.

OH MY WORD!!! I was just ready to hit publish when my cell phone rang. It was my sister Doris with the news that Marcy's little girl has arrived safely and easily - no C section! And she's a little doll, Doris said. If she looks anything like Marcy did, she most certainly is a little doll. I can hardly wait to see her. If I go in there tomorrow after school I'll get to see two babies for the price of one!!
