Well, it all went about as well as it could have. We welcomed Savannah Elyse into the world yesterday morning. Mother and baby are doing well. And even with Covid restrictions, I was able to meet her yesterday in the hospital.
I am so very grateful and so relieved. And my daughter will be getting her first covid shot before she leaves the hospital. This was a difficult pregnancy and all along the way, we have had reason to be still and thankful.
We are all working collectively to keep our three-year-old grandson while mom and dad are in the hospital with Savannah.

@divalounger my mom said if she had known that grandkids were so much fun, she would have skipped kids right to grandkids!

There is a reason why old people don't have babies--love him, but I am so tired once he goes home.

@divalounger I love when my grandchildren come and I'm exhausted too when they leave. Even older ones wear me out

A grandchild is so precious. Mine is 15 now and a teenage nightmare! I still love her though and she lives with me.

15 might be the worst age for the teenage stuff--it gets better slowly--

@divalounger For me it was the 13-14 years as over the last year she has improved. I hope she continues to get better.
