verngator1 10 Posted February 26, 2010 Hey Buddies! Â I'm writing to you on my new netbook from the comfort of an airplane seat, somewhere between Atlanta and Wichita, KS...on the way to meeting my new baby kind-of-grandson Devon! Â I posted last week to say that our house was flooded due to a sewer line blockage. Thankfully it was clean water only, but we have been dealing the aftermath. Â Then our dear Monica called to say that she hadn't been sleeping well and that she MIGHT be having contractions, even though she wasn't due for another 3 weeks. Â I received a 5AM text saying that she was at the hospital Wednesday morning. Later that morning the doctors advised a C-section as the baby's heartbeat was slowing down too much between contractions...and now we have Devon. Â Both baby and mom are fine! I'll post pictures later. Â She is entitled to at least four days in the hospital without special authorization, so I'm telling her to stay put as long as possible. I want to get some cleaning and organizing done before she comes home Saturday. Since the baby is a bit early, things aren't yet completely set up and she still needs some supplies. I'm working with her DH on a shopping list as we plan to pick up what she needs when I arrive. So tonight we'll be cleaning, organizing, doing laundry, etc... Â I'll post when I can! Â Hugs to all...

verngator1 10 Posted March 6, 2010 Congratulations, Veronica!! He is so sweet!! (And I just love the "travel system"!!) Â Ha ha - that thing is like a Transformer - it reconfigures into a bazillion different incarnations. But it's very sturdy and lightweight, at least compared to stollers I remember. There are SO many baby thingies out there - I had NO idea. Check THIS out: Pee-Pee Teepee ...although this is more of a shower gift (pun intended). We also found $6.00 ADJUSTABLE SOCKS.

WWCarol 0 Posted March 6, 2010 Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... Devon rhymes with "heaven"....  Love the "travel system", too! Such cool stuff. I've got a first grandson arriving in June, so I'm loving that you're sharing all your finds, V!  Keep on having FUN!  Keep pictures coming.  And you, too, Dr.J (Kind-of-Grandmom)   . May you be happy. May you be well. May you be free from suffering.  Check out my website! Plant-Powered.com       . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrJulieAnn 0 Posted March 9, 2010 What an absolute cutie-pie!!  I, too, had NO IDEA there were all of those gadgets and gee-gaws and you name it for babies! I've been told that my job is to just provide the "custom clothing" (a la Martha Pullen).  Baby Alice's dedication (kind of like a baptism only without the water) is this Sunday, so hopefully I'll have lots of pics to show of her (in the custom clothing that I made for the occasion).  PS: I don't know how to make heirloom clothing but I guess I'm going to learn!

I am so envious of talented folks like you! I have no such artistic talent...basically the best gift I can give is my time here, which is quickly coming to a close. I'm going to be very sad to leave tomorrow.  We should be back in the summer, for our usual trip to visit DD's birth family.
