Happiness is a Grandbaby...

Happiness is a Grandbaby....

.....And I am delighted to let you all know that my sweet Grand-daughter made her arrival 
on February 21st a few days after her original due date.  She's a healthly happy baby and weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. at birth.   Mom had a very long and hard labor and after almost 32 
hours, Harper was safely and happily delivered by C-Section.   Needless to say, none of us 
had much sleep that Monday night and we all expected her to be born on Monday, but she 
just was too big and not ready to come out on her own!    We are all so thankful that she 
was never under and stress and was born perfectly healthy the following morning.  It was 
not so easy on her Mom, but's she is healing well from the procedure.   The kids are in 
LOVE with their little girl and they are both wonderful new parents, it all seems very
natural to them -- they are such a sweet little family.  

   She is an angel and has been a really good baby.  She sleeps and eats well and when she 
is up, she's very content and happy, they are blessed.   This picture was taken the day she 
was born the very first time I held her -- Instant LOVE!! 

  She is now almost two weeks old -- it's amazing at how fast the times flies by.  I am so in 
love with her -- it reminds me very much of the same wonderful bond I had when my boys 
were born.   The love is something you truly can't describe, it's the best!!   This little dress
 is  so sweet, too bad she's pretty much already outgrown it, as she has with many of her
"newborn" size clothes.  Thankfully, we did not buy a lot of tiny sizes and she still has lots
of of wonderful outfits to wear.   The first week she was home we had some fabulous Spring weather with record-breaking temps...it was wonderful.

   

   

   For now, my focus still on all things HAPPY -- the baby and my trip to see Brian.   I'll be 
back to the Cancer Battle soon, as my next round of CT Scans are coming up at the end
of the Month....and to be honest I'm not at all looking forward to them.   For some reason, I
feel like something is not quite right -- and it's never scans are never fun or easy.  They
always cause a significant amount of "Scanxiety" !!   It's hard to believe in some ways that
I've been in this battle for almost two years -- I hope I can continue to fight for a long long
time.  I want to have many years with this precious child!  

Thanks for stopping by -- I am thrilled to finally have my very own Grandchild --  she's 
the newest LOVE in my life.
