Ten little
fingers, ten little toes, two beautiful eyes, and one button nose! Join us in
celebrating the arrival of Baby Grace!
There’s so much I can say, I don’t know where to begin! I will
keep everything short and sweet so that I can get back to being a Ya-Ya! That’s
Greek for grandmother. I figured since I’m a new age grandmother, I had to find
a name that was suitable for me. Ya-Ya seemed to fit my jazzy personality! What
you didn’t know? There’s nothing wrong with my confidence level!
Thanks for taking time out to read about our new bundle of joy!
On Thursday, September 17, 2015, I was blessed with a healthy and
beautiful grand-daughter, her name is Grace Ann. My great aunt was named Grace
and my mother’s middle name is Ann. When I was given permission to name her
Grace, I thought about it’s all because of God’s grace and mercy! That’s how I
came up with Grace. It was just a plus that my great-aunt was named that as
well. Grace weighed 5lbs and 12ozs. She’s so adorable, just look at her.
The feeling I felt watching my daughter give birth is indescribable.
To be honest, I’m still trying to process it all. It’s between amazement and
disbelief. Here, I am watching my daughter give birth to her daughter. I can
imagine this is how my mother felt when I was giving birth to her grand-daughter.
So, you can imagine, how she felt when she witness her grand-daughter giving
birth to her great-grand-daughter. Yes, four generations! I only wish, my
grand-mother could have witnessed this special occasion. That would have been
five generations. Wow, I’m just speechless!
I had never witnessed anyone giving birth other than watching
it on television, so you guessed it right, I was totally amazed with the
process. There was so much preparation that had to be done before this little
miracle of ours could enter the world. All of the work that was being done
before birth was required for a successful delivery. I learned the nurses do
all of the work and the doctors come in at the last minute to actually deliver
the baby. Amazing!
Looking at all of the nurses and the birthing team scurrying
around to prepare before delivery once my daughter had dilated to ten got me excited.
I realized this was it! There’s no turning back, either I was going to stay in
there or leave out. I had people texting and calling me, “now don’t faint.” (lol)
I could never be in the nursing field, it’s not good for my
stomach. Everyone knows what works for them and what doesn’t. I know nursing is
not my thing. I must say though, watching my daughter give birth and holding
her legs while other family members supported her pushing, was a real-time
moment.
Seeing my grand-daughter being delivered directly from my
daughters womb really touched my heart. Nothing else seemed to matter at that
moment. Having an upset stomach or feeling squeamish never entered my mine. Then,
it was time to cut the umbilical cord. Wait, um, what? Let me think? And, then
with two snips, it was done, I had cut the cord. I know it’s true when they
say, you suck things up when you have too. And, I definitely had to put on my
momo panties and sucked it up!
Ok, I’m done. I could go on and on. We really had some funny
moments in there. A true blessing indeed. I did say I would keep this short and
sweet! Again, I will say, it’s all because of God’s Grace and mercy.
Check out some of my candid moments so far: I’m just a proud
Ya-Ya! Forgive me…
Such personality already!
