Granna with Nolan

Here I am holding the cutest grandson. He's such a sweetie!

Big Sister

I've been gone from Jennifer's for only a few hours, but I already miss my grandkids!!! Things went very smoothly this week. Jennifer is doing great! Nolan went back to the doctor on Friday and had gained about 4 ounces. I'm tired so I won't post much tonight, but I did want to post a picture of Big Sis holding Nolan. She did a very good job.

Brand new day

What a difference a good night makes!!!!!! I can't get over how good Nolan is. He slept last night and only woke to feed every three hours. He had his first outing yesterday. He had to see the doctor and she said everything looked good. He had lost a little more weight, but nothing she was concerned with. He also has a little jaundice, but again, nothing to be concerned with. We have to take him back on Friday for another weigh in, but he is really eating, so I'm sure he will gain some weight before then. Kaylee is showing a little disinterest in him. We picked her up at the babysitter's yesterday, so she got to show him off to all the other children. Maybe we can have a good day and get some more things done around the house. I'll share more later.

Grandpa and Nolan

Hello

Nolan Lee Hawes

He's here! The newest member our family arrived Friday, March 2, 2007 at 11:15 a.m. Nolan Lee Hawes weighed in at 7 lbs. 1 ounce and was 20 3/4 inches long. He is the cutest, best baby! I'm going to post a couple of pictures and will share more with everyone later.

Granna's Sunshine

Isn't this just the sweetest, most angelic little girl you've ever seen? Who ever would have thought she could cause such a commotion as she did last night at Jennifer's school. Jennifer's school is hosting a speech tournament this weekend, so she was having to work late last night. Nathan was also having a baseball game at the school, so Kaylee was with them. She was really pretty good all night, going back and forth from the baseball field to the school. It was getting late, and Jennifer was really tired. Being 9 months pregnant and being at school all day was really starting to wear Jennifer out. At about 9:00, she finally said it was time for them to go ahead and head home. She was so tired and her feet were so swollen, she and Kaylee decided to take the elevator instead of the stairs. As she was leaving the elevator, she heard a strange sound of a phone ringing, but thought it may have been a student's cell phone. Shortly thereafter, flashing lights were out front and firemen were running into the school. Jennifer stopped them and asked what was wrong. They said someone was trapped in the elevator and when they called to see what the problem was, there was no answer. Jennifer just started crying and saying it must have been her three year old who had pushed the button. They were all so nice trying to console a woman nine months pregnant, crying, exhausted, embarrassed and totally worn out. Of course, Kaylee thought it was all very exciting. After all, there were all these fire trucks with bright, flashing lights and men running into the building with yellow hats and coats on. (She thought they were Builder Bob). They were all very nice to Kaylee and giving her high fives. What a great way to end an evening at work with Mom & Dad!!!!

As expected, I'm not very good about keeping a blog current. So much has happened, yet, I haven't taken the time to write anything. Kellie had her back surgery two weeks ago tomorrow. The surgery was a success and she is recovering. It will be a slow recovery, but hopefully she will be free of the pain she's been in for so long.
Jennifer went to the doctor on Thursday. He has scheduled to induce her on March 2, if she makes it that long. We went to Lewisville today for her shower. She got so many nice things. I've never seen so much baseball related baby items.
I'm really going to try to be better about updating the blogspot. That way when the baby does arrive, I can keep everyone updated with some pictures.
