a little Lucy.....

this is how clean and adorably dressed Lucy was when I picked her up this morning.....we stopped to buy some needed items from Walmart.....luckily I had also grabbed some inexpensive play clothes for Lucy because after a couple hours at Grammy's she was pretty dirty, although still adorable..... we fed the pig and chickens, then made dirt cakes......










great way to start off the new year.....

so sweet....

another Lucy post.....i have noticed Lucy when sleepy wants cloth and/or a tag to hold so gramma made her three little quilts with a tag.....and she fell asleep with one tonight, mommy just sent me this photo....makes a gramma's heart swell with love, so very precious.....

beach baby.....

Lucy's 6 months old.....already crawling, sitting up and eating sand all by herself.....

grammy's little helper.....

i have the cutest little helper starting today, alas for mommy has to return to work.....so please be patient with my blogging posts as Lucy & I learn the time to play, eat, diaper, blog, sew, nap, etc....
enjoy I know I am.....

itty bitty hats.....

itty bitty hats by susan b. anderson is the name of the book i use when i want to knit the most adorable baby hats, it's a few years old but i've still seen it at Barnes & Noble....
p.s. i did cutting last night for an all day sew in but this is how my days have been going, not that i'm complaining.....
woke,did my usual morning feedings and cleanup, then off to drop off my daughter's cat back at her house, he's been staying with us for a while, arrive, he's so excited to be home, Lucy's just been fed, phone rings i take her so mommy can talk....she coos for awhile, then fusses a little, falls asleep in my arms and that's where i stay till she awakes....now it's mid afternoon and i'm just getting back home.....
babies are so distracting, i tell you, what's a grandma to do?

Lucy Midori Rose.....

my daughter over the years has had a few pre cancer cervical biopsies and leeps, causing scar tissue, not sure if she could get pregnant, she did, not sure if she could go full term, she did....
come to realize she has a "steel trap" for a cervix, wouldn't open....
always known possibly cesarean but was not an emergency so needed to try a vaginal birth first....
so after 12 hours of cervidial, then 18 hours of pitocin no dilatation, will be cesarean but not till am....then her water breaks, still no dilatation, then a pin hole size opening but all agreed probably nothing more, went home to shower....received text "i'm a 7" rush back, now all preparing for having a baby, get to nine....getting room set up
during this time she's beginning to get feverish, start her on antibiotics, then baby starts stressing, now off for cesarean....
at 5:47 Feb 10 Lucy was born weighing 8 lbs. 7 oz. and 20&1/4"
all are doing well and fever is finally down....
what a roller coaster ride that was, now off to the hospital for sweet new baby hugs& kisses....
