It started with my daughter telling me she was having Braxton hicks contractions. . . no biggie, she has two more weeks until her due date. But she walked around her house all night just to get some comfort.. .
Soon after that I got a message that her water broke. Before I knew it, we had rearranged our flights from Chicago to Houston and were on the way to the airport.
Suddenly a picture appeared on my phone of a new baby in MY baby's arms. Not only did she come 2 weeks early but she also arrived very quickly! In fact her water broke close to 1:00 pm and Kennedy Jayne arrived at 3:48.
I was more than happy to drop everything and get down here. She is a delight and I'm loving every moment I get to be with her. I love watching my kids become parents. They must have been watching and paying attention because they are doing very good at nurturing her.
I will get back home next week and life will go back to being so normal. . . . . .
Until the NEXT baby comes! My son and his wife are due on July 13th? What if this little guy decides to come two weeks early too?
It's a very good thing my life has changed this year, (more about that later!)
I need time to be a gramma!
Congratulations Grandma! She is beautiful! Enjoy your time with her and your daughter :)
