She's Finally Here!

Hi All!
I am so proud to announce the birth of my first grandchild!
Addison Lou arrived today at 12:01 a.m. !  She weighs 6 lbs, 9 oz and she is 19 1/2 inches long.



She also has a beautiful head of dark hair and reminds me of her Mommy when she was a baby!
Pictured above and below with my Mom,  her great-grandmother Jane!


This is my Mom's first great-grandchild!  She has 25 grandchildren ranging in age from 1 to 30.

And a very proud, but worn out new Mommy.  Katie had a tough go of it.  She had to be induced because she began leaking amniotic fluid.  After 2 hours of pushing Addison entered the world healthy and gorgeous!
I am so tired myself and pretty weepy.  It's hard seeing your daughter go through such a tough time.
I will try to get around and visit you all when I can but right now I am going to go nap.
Take Care,
Cindy

  21. Cindy,
    Congratulations on your new grandchild!! I remember the day my first grandchild was born. I went to work on the Monday after and told everyone that I was "in love". It is an amazing feeling. You know that you love your children, but grandchildren are so special. You can't really explain it. Enjoy her. God Bless you and your family.

  56. Cindy, CONGRATS on this precious GIFT FROM GOD to your daughter & husband, and to the entire family! You deserve a blogging break for sure now Mimi/Nana/GG~ :) I just arrived home from visiting my 3 mo old grandson in NC. How I miss him when I can't see him each week. This time it was three weeks between visits, the longest time between our travels up there. You have fun with this little one! Hugs Cindy~ ~CC Catherine

  57. Congratulations Cindy and also to your daughter! What a head of hair she has and I love her name. Oh I know what you mean about it being hard to see your daughter go through childbirth. I had the priviledge of seeing my daughter have her first born at home with a mid-wife. I was very nervous not being in a hospital (after all I had five in a hospital bed) but after being there for the experience I wish I had had all 5 of mine that way! I was very proud of her. I hope you were able to catch up on some sleep...enjoy your new Grandbaby!

    I've been in Brownsville, Tx spending some of my Daddy's last days with him. He's battled a rare form of leukemia for almost three decades that has manifested other forms of cancer throughout his body. The last one invaded his brain. Last night at 10:45 his fight ended, he will no longer suffer or endure the pain.

    God bless you and just soak in that little sweet pea!!!
