My daughter Mercy just called me two hours ago. Her baby is showing signs of readiness to meet the parents and the new world. She went to the doctor today. She started having contractions and is dilated to 4 cm.
Hooray! I’m so happy for her. I’m home for a few days to take care of some business right now, but we are going back to Portland, Oregon tomorrow morning. We’ll meet our grandchild in the next day or two.
Thank you very much, Meenakshi! I’m thankful that the complication was minimum even though the doctor’s decision was a c-section. Both my daughter and the baby are doing well right now!
I know. For a while the night before the birth. I have a need of intensive prayer for half an hour. That was the time when the doctor mentioned about the possibility of c-section. After that, I felt relied. The baby tried to come out but couldn’t because the cord wrapped around her. So she stopped trying. By 1:00 am, the doctor ordered the c-section. The baby swallowed some fluid, but not too much to cause any damage. The doctor had the fluid sucked out. Yes, indeed, God is watching. Anything could have happened! Thank you for your prayer for us!!! 💛 😅
How wonderful and I’m hoping that there is great news by now.. I wish you and your family the very best at this magical time when a new little miracle enters our World… xx
Oh how wonderful Miriam!! Aww – I bet she’s adorable and yes a wonderful little miracle!! Many many blessings to her for an amazing life. Congratulations xx
I remember my days in the hospital. Some nurses just want to get their jobs done. I don’t blame them. But some are flexible of giving another 1/2 if patients are sleeping.
Sending the warm fuzzy hugs that happen holding new precious life ❤💙💚💛💜
Am happy you will be experiencing giving these hugs in person in a couple of days.. 😊
Prayers are with you for the smooth delivery of your new grandchild! All will be good! Do keep us posted of the good news! Blessings and Garfield hugs!
Oh my goodness!! Congratulations 🙂 I know you’ve been so looking forward to this — I wish you and your family much happiness amid the changes and excitement 🙂
I was too! My doctor ran the computer test which provided me a due date about a week earlier than what he thought I’d have in his experience — and of course, my doctor was right!
You are so welcome!! She shares a birthday with my oldest nephew who turned 18 that day!! She is in good company ❤ Congratulations to you and your family ❤
wow – how exciting to hear the news – “fall” babies come at such a nice time and sending good thoughts your way – and your daughter and grandbaby’s way—-
oh how fun. My second son’s bp-day was yesterday and so I recall the fall air with joy as I held him.
and so glad you will be able to se the grandchild so soon
I’m so happy for you! Babies are such special blessings! Congratulations! Praying for Mama and baby. Hugs.
