I have a new grandson!

Jacob finally made his arrival into the world at about 8:26 this am.   We made the decision to come home from the hospital at about 11:00 last night to get a few hours of sleep and then Tony called us a little after 4:00 this morning and told us her water broke.  So away we went!  The hospital is an hour away. and when we got there she was dilated 6 1/2 cm's!  He is sooo precious.   Vanessa labored almost absolutely silently... Im so proud of her. And of Tony too, as he is taking such good care of her and he is just such a good person. 

JAcob has a long road ahead of him, but the doctors all think he is off to a "pretty good start".  The words they used today were "cautiously optimistic". 

They are going to try to keep him stable for the next couple days and then do his surgery on monday or tuesday.  That is going to be difficult for all us to take.. but it is necessary.  They said that the most critical time for Jacob is from now until about 3 days after his surgery.   So yes, please, keep praying for him.

It is very hard to see him hooked up to so many things, but at the same time I feel so thankful for medical technology And of course to GOD!

I love this little baby pie so much already. 

Thank you all for you Prayers.  I hope you know how important they are and how much they mean to all of us.

Jacobs situation is exactly as they said it was, except for his heart.  The surgeon had talked about three different things involving his tiny little heart, but today she said only talked about this "double outlet right ventricle" which is a large hole in his heart.  

I cant wait to go up and see him again....  tomorrow!
but for now.. I am exhausted.. mentally and I need to veg out for a while..
good night and

love to you all!

jacob will soon be here....

(My little baby jacob! hes holding his little foot up in this picture)

Tony and Vanessa have gone to the hospital.  she had an appt this morning and they decided to start the induction tonight.   So tonight they are giving her drugs to soften her cervix.  In the morning they plan on starting the pitocin (or what ever they use these days..)

so my bloggy praying friends.. this is it.. its time for jacob to make his entrance into this world.. He has been warm and comfy and content to float about in his mothers womb with out any struggles, and now.. he is going to have to fight for his precious little life.. for his very breath... I am scared for my little grand baby pie.  but I know that he is in Gods hands and so are Tony and Vanessa and the rest of us.  I just pray that it is Gods plan for this precious baby to be healed and to live a great big wonderful healthy life!  

So all the waiting will soon be over and a new kind of waiting will begin.  We will know so much more after he is born.  Please pray that Vanessa will do well in delivery and that Tony will be a strong comforting presence for her.. and that Jacob comes with ease into this world and that he will get lots of oxygen into what ever amount of lungs he has... and that the doctors will be surprised that he is so well!  and that I will not irritate anyone (i seem to do that...) but that I will be strong and positive... and helpful in some way. 

Pray pray pray... pass it on.. this baby can use Lots of prayers.. 

thank you all.. I'll post an update tomorrow..  

( for a post about Jacobs conditions go here.. )

just sort of ho hum..

Didnt do much this weekend.  shopped a little bit on saturday, but really didnt buy much, at least nothing special. There was nothing I was dying to have I guess..  

Yesterday I stayed in all day.. barely even puttered..   I made a couple new ornies for my patriotic tree.  tried needle felting something and Im not liking how its turning out.  I'll keep farting around with it and see if I can redeem it somehow. And maybe show you when its finished. 

strange weekend really, just not feeling my usual cheerful self.. hopefully that will soon pass..

back to work today... oh joy! I can hardly wait.... (NOT)

 

I did manage to get my little patriotic tree out and decorated. cute isnt it? Have a great week girls. Hoping Jakob comes this week...

saturday morning entertainment!

up at 5:15 this morning after figgy and frannie decided to play a game of  "run like a herd of elephants and jump on moms head in her bed".  I tried to ignore them the first couple times, but the third time when someone seriously ran across my face, i decided Id better get up before they missed and got Tony.    He is not as a good a sport as I and he would have been angry with the cute wittle putty tats!

 

Me on the other hand, I like to get up early.  

so, up I got and to the kitchen did trot.. to bake some banana nut muffins! 

Good way to start a saturday dont ya think!? 

Have a lovely day my friends!

I have no real plans, just doin.. what ever!
