Sweet Arrival

My beautiful girl has become a momma and it was so sweet to watch. Every time I was pregnant my mom worried so much the entire time and I never quite understood why. I totally get it now! While I wouldn’t say I worried the entire pregnancy, I definitely felt differently having my daughter carrying a little one compared to how I felt when Riley became a dad. She is still my baby!

I may have taken for granted all that goes into growing a healthy baby. after having four rather routine pregnancies, so when Jordan began to have some symptoms that were cause for a little closer monitoring, I jumped into momma bear mode. As her due date crept closer, she began retaining fluid and ultimately ended up being diagnosed with preeclampsia with a scheduled induction 3 weeks early.

I’ve never been so happy to see her face as I was after I knew she and baby were safe! They managed to keep the gender a surprise the entire pregnancy which was impressive given the number of sonograms they had and they also didn’t share the names they were considering. Y’all, I was dying for just a little nugget of info but was definitely proud of myself for never prying!!

Our first grandson, Jaxson Mark, was born at 12:48am on September 26th weighing in at 5 pounds 1 ounce. He needed just a little help and was sent to the. NICU where he spent a few days before being released to go home. He is so tiny but doing so well and keeping his mom and dad on their toes as they adjust to being a family of 3. I am dying to get my hands on him and so excited about the adventures we will have one day.
