The boy/girl ratio in our family is now 5:3--of course girls get two votes, so we officially outnumber the guys! Chloe Rae arrived on Friday at 7:47 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and measured 19 inches in length. Everything went really well, mom and dad are enjoying the experience.
I took Cameron and Jacob to see the baby today.
Cameron wasn't too sure he wanted to hold Chloe. He had never held a new baby before--aside from Jacob, but I'm sure he has no memory of that, being less than two years old at the time.
Jacob was very excited to hold the baby. It was his first time, too. Parker and Hayden went skiing today, so they are up at the hospital now--to see the baby, not for any injuries they incurred. The younger boys and I stayed home, I had too many chores to do--that and my abs were pretty sore from skiing hard yesterday. We grandmas are entitled to take it easy occasionally, right?
Yeahh...a little girl to pass on the Austen obsession....She is adorable...I am sending something in the mail for her this week. It has been 10 yrs. next month since I was able to "think pink" and I need to get my girlie fix. Congrats to all, she is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you DeLynn - As a Grandma you join the ranks of a special group!
ReplyDeleteThe baby is beautiful (of course) The Dad looks excited, The Mom's hands are calm. The uncles are fine.
Congratulations to Tyler and Brandi!!!!! Good job. We love you all.
Grandma and Grandpa Parker (also Great G & G. She is number 8 great...
She is beautiful!! Congratulations! We are so excited for your family. I think Cameron and Jacob are going to be fantastic uncles, and you are going to be a very young and cool grandma. We can't wait to meet her.
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful! I have been checking your blog several times a day hoping to hear the news about Chloe. I am glad to hear that all is well. I can't wait to meet her in person. Have fun with a new baby to hold, Grandma!
ReplyDeleteI love her middle name!! She is soo cute!! Oh goodness your a grandma and tyler is a dad!! yeahhh!! can't wait to hold her!!
ReplyDeleteWow, we are now in the grandma club together- and it is lots of fun!!! Congratulations to all of you. Since the baby is a girl, does that make the boys aunts instead of uncles? Ask them.
ReplyDeleteWe are surviving in Texas and enjoying the warm weather and humidity-not great for hair straightening or body for straight hair but skin and eyes are much happier. I have been trying to use Speghettification in my daily communications so if my plate experiences enough speghettification- my body doesn't! Enjoy the baby. I think of you often and keep you and your family in our prayers.
Congrats!! Hayden was proudly waving around her photo at church on Sunday, it was cute. And since I am an English geek I have to tell you that on your book list you misspelled Artemis. Just so you know . . . Well, since the girl thing was new to me last year, I have lots of little things I have learned and I am open to share if y'all need any advice or have any questions . . .
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! We are so excited for everyone, especially Tyler and Brandi. We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon and meeting little Cloe for the first time. Katelyn giggled once she heard the news telling me that she was thinking of how Cameron and Jacob were now 'YUNCLES'. :) You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Hard to believe you are a Grandma! Cameron was so excited Sunday that he had to announce Chloe's birth in opening exercises AND again in class. You trained him well, he knew ALL the stats!
