Oh my word. I don't know if any of you "non related" bloggers out there caught the fact that I was about to be an Aunt. But in case you didn't...She was a week early and started having contraction. By 4 pm, my brother Dave had taken his wife, Leta, up to the hospital. Dave called my at 9-ish and said I could come up if I wanted. (For moral support.) I brought him a couple cheese burgers and a coffee. It was going to be a long night. Leta started pushing at 12:15. The waiting room chairs were not very conducive for sleep. I had in my mind that she would push for about an hour, but then that's how long I pushed with Josh. At 1:30 I decided to go home.
Little baby Lucas entered the world at 4:17am, after Leta pushed for four long hours. She is amazing. Mom and Dad are so happy, Lucas is healthy with a strong heart and I am an Aunt. Baby weighs in at 6 lbs 15 oz and is 20 inches long. He's a skinny little thing, especially compared to Josh, who was a whopping 8 lbs 9 oz. Ahh, new life. It is such a miracle.Speaking of which, my miracle has just woke up from his nap. And something smells... like poop.
Congratulations Aunt Bethany!!!!!!! What an adorable little boy to love!

ReplyDeleteHow do you think "Grandmother" feels?
ReplyDeleteI became an great Aunt on the day I married Jamie. I am also "aunt" to someone who is only 4 years younger than I am. LOL!
