New arrivals

This has been a magical day. My new granddaughter was born a 2:02 this afternoon. I was there for the birth and can only say it was amazing. I am totally in love with her and have spent several hours already with her in my arms or on my lap. She is so peaceful.

L was also amazing as she remained calm and in control through the whole process. She knocked on my door at 7 this morning to tell me she was haveing contractions every 10 minutes. We sat in the main room, timing the contractions for an hour or so before having some breakfast. L had decided to wait until there was 5 minutes between before having a bath and then getting to the hospital. And that is basically what happened.

We arrived at the hospital at 12:30 and went to the delivery suite. After being examined, L was found to be 8cm dilated. So it was all go from there. No pain killers, no stitches. She did her bit and listened to the midwife, who was very nice. And now there is a new life here in the house for everyone to adjust to. That will not be hard to do!
