Miss Gracie Ruth was born at 2:20 this morning, June 6th, 2012.  Apparently, (from what I've been told) at my mom's doctor. appointment yesterday, her blood pressure was high, so they had her go to the hospital, where she waited till about 10 at night or a little after, till the doctor came and broke her water.  And at 2:20 in the morning, Gracie greeted this world.  Her blood sugar was low at first, but they gave her some formula, and that got her blood sugar back up, and it seems that it will stay up.  Dad and us kids went down to visit Mom and Gracie this afternoon, which was nice.  She is the most adorable little baby girl.  6 pounds, 11 ounces, and 18 and 3/4 inches long, a petite little thing.  She's so tiny and beautiful.  So thankful for our family's newest little blessing and bundle of joy and happiness.  :)

 

Sooo, I am now a red head.  My Aunty Lynn dyed it red for me the other day.  She also gave me a hair cut.  I am quite pleased with this....I happen to love red heads.  I also happen to have a job now.  I work in a deli at a little market 7 minutes from my  house.  I've been working there for over a month now.  It's a part time job, and I work the closing shift.  Although there are many times when I complain about it and don't want to go to work, it's really a good job and for the most part, I enjoy it.  I work late afternoons and evenings, usually 3-9, although sometimes it's 4-9 or 2-9.  I also work weekends.  I work 5 days a week, with two days off, and usually Thursdays and Fridays are my days off.  I make sandwiches, like a good little woman...hehe.  I'm pretty sure all my co workers think I'm very weird and basically a prude, because I don't date and I don't swear (amongst other things).  However, my co workers are pretty cool and I get along well with them.  My best friend, Colettey, is now home from college and traveling/vacation.  I am quite happy about that.  She is currently, as I blog, sitting with Danny, with Jackson torturing her by tickling her.  It's amusing, to say the least.  We are still awaiting the birth/debut of Little Miss Penelope.  She'll be here, any day now.  In fact, it could even happen this evening.  The doctor instructed Mom to rest and walk a lot this afternoon and then call him at 7 tonight.  He may decide to have her come in to the hospital tonight and break her water, to start the process of the birth.  She was having contractions last night and I thought that it might be the night, but they ended up going away after a while.  (I was also up till 2 in the morning, because I couldn't sleep, due to having had sweet iced tea at dinner, being in pain, being excited about the possibility of the baby coming, as well as having insomnia.....this evening at work is going to be fun....since I"ll be so tired).  We all eagerly await the arrival of our newest addition to our family.  A name has been chosen for Miss Penelope, but I shan't blog about her name until after her birth.  Just because.  Anyways.  I just thought that I should update my poor neglected blog.  I'll update again when Penelope shows her face.  Life right now is beautiful and wonderful.  :) TTFN.
