AN ANGEL WAS BORN!

YIPPEE! My daughter went into labor Tues.afternoon and had our healthy baby boy at 1:07 a.m. in the morning.I rushed to Dallas,and got to be there for the WHOLE sha-bang!My sister kept calling me before I left home and wanted me to wait on her,so she could ride w/ me...but if she hadn't gotten a babysitter when she did,I would have left her lil butt!lol...Anxiety was overwhelming me to just DRIVE and not wait...but she got a babysitter just in time,and so we both got to be in the labor and delivery room along with the father.I have to say...THAT WAS the most awesome thing I have EVER experienced in my life! Unmfortunately though,my precious daughter was TOLD weeks ahead of time she was gona be given the epederal instead of going through the entire labor in extreme pain...and at the last minute,the anesthesioligist(can't spell it...but the guy that gives the epederil)..well,he refused to give her one! OMIGOSH,my daughter was furious and so was I.He claimed that some tests were not run before hand to ensure that she could handle an epederil without being paralyzed by it,and so he said he couldn't take that chance and give her one (of course I decided that maybe she shouldn't get one anyways)...NOT if it would risk hurting her or the baby like he explained.So..bottom line is:she delivered the baby with ALL the pain involved.It was SO hard to see her hurt so bad,and also KNOWING what she was going through was equally as hard.But when that last ONE BIG PUSH came and out popped our little one,a ton of relief was lifted off me(and her too of course)lol.
Hes only 4 pounds and 14 ounces,but as healthy as any 7 pound baby,they said.Our little A'Million is such a God sent little angel.Oh,and yes...that's his name A'Million.A name that will have to grow on me,I guess...of course I had other names I begged her to name him...but that's the name they chose.I can't spell his middle name,so I'll get back to ya on that..and the pictures as well.Believe me,I was taking pictures like you wouldn't believe when they were cleaning his little screaming self up.
Wow,what an experience.I'm still on cloud nine!
Rayven is supposed to carry baby A'million home tomorrow...but for some reason,he is not taking the bottle (he's not learning the art of sucking and breathing out his nose)so he's lost 2 oz.'s,and so until he starts eating,they will have to stay in the hospital.They said if he won't take the bottle nipple,he certainly won't take the breast...so hopefully the lil stinker will catch on soon and start gaining some weight(crossing my fingers)
The only thing I can think of to be called is "Mee-Mee",unless anybody has anything different that sounds better?(hint hint)....I had a "Granny" and a "Nanny"growing up...and don't want to be called either one of those.So all I can think of is"Mee-Mee"?Any ideas will be duelly noted.
:-}
Well....Mee Mee is signing off for now....just HAD to spread the joy!!
Damien(Vampyred) http://www.lordgenocyde.blogspot.com has a voice mail of me while Rayven was in labor...I haven't heard it yet,but I was outside her door in a state of panic(trying not to let my daughter see,btw)...you may even hear my poor baby girl whaling in pain in the background.
Thanks for posting my message D.,I knew I could count on my buddy.What a great guy,huh?hug-hug.
