heaven sent~ a birth story

HELLO!!!! 

in case you haven't heard~

we have a precious new family member, a second little grandson, born to our daughter

and son in law in july.  i don't blog much any more but decided to give it 

a try so that i could share some photos of him.

(proud grandma here- and not even a teensy bit apologetic saying that).

 : )) 

blogging is challenging now because for some reason I upload things and 

write copy and then most of the time right before i'm ready to 

publish, it all disappears so i'm going to put all my words up top

and hope that that will stop this from happening (for the third time).

baby b. was born a whole month early and needed

a bit of help breathing for the first day so right after his birth he went to the 

NICU where he was taken marvelous care of for a few days.

i got to go stay with his big brother and we visited mom and 

dad most of the days they were in the hospital.

children are not allowed in the NICU so being only

21 months old, I don't imagine brother bear really knew

what was going on and didn't get to be introduced to his baby,

 but he sure was happy to see his 

mommy and daddy (and they him) and he was very curious about

all the bells and whistles in a hospital room. 

he tried mom's breast pump out to make sure it was working

properly after watching her use it.

*help like that is priceless and it was hilarious!!

*can you imagine being 21 months old and waking up from your nap

and your mom and dad are home from 5 days away and they have

with them this little person that wasn't here before. 

"umm, who is that

and where did you get him?

...he's not staying is he???

well, no one asked me"

***********************************

the first photos are in the hospital and then there are some

from a more intentional newborn shoot I got to do for them 

the next week.

  

then the last few photos were baby B in a sleeper from

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

 when he was 11 wks. old.

he is changing so fast and has been the most perfect

baby. I don't think any of us (well maybe mom and dad?)

have even heard him cry!

he's cooing and smiling and we wish we could freeze this 

precious stage of his life for a few months longer.

both sides of the family are so in love with these two little boys

and we feel so incredibly lucky to have them in our lives.

congratulations to our daughter and her hubbie. 

here you are then, here's our beautiful grandson's beginning.
