After we sat and waited all day at the hospital, finally at 4:15 Jen was ready to push. Our younger sister Teisha was going to be in there with Jen but when it got time for the action to start, she changed her mind. I was standing out in the hallway, Jen's door open, and out came Teisha with her coat in one hand and her purse in the other hauling tail out of there. She didn't slack up when she passed me and told me to get in there she couldn't handle it. Weell......I didn't let any grass grow under my feet, I went! AFter 3 pushes the nurses was looking for the doctor. When the doctor came in the room he told Jen to breath thru it and in just a min we would have a baby. I looked up at the t.v. and yup, Cowgirls don't cry was on. Where was I standing, you ask? Now, that's a dumb question, just where do you think I was? Your right, I was down there with all the action. When she came into this world Jen asked me was she okay, I looked at Jen and told her yes and it was Monkey Toes!!!!! I wanted to put my hands on her soo bad but Sam( the big sister) wanted to be the first so Aunie just had to wait. After they got her cleaned up and Jen tended to, I went to the door and got Barry(Jen's hubby(he passes out at the sigh of blood) and Sam. The nurse laid the baby in Sam's arms and that's when my heart busted. I finally got my hands on her and yes, I did whisper in her ear for only her and God to hear. Then I sang Happy Birthday. Why even Jon Brandon was there and he was the next in line to hold her. My lil soldier boy broke down crying for he was soo scared he was going to miss seeing this lil one for he was leaving out two days later.
Oh, you want to know her name and all that other stuff?. Sorry, I have done dubbed her as Monkey Toes but I will tell ya what's on her birth certificate. Let's see....... what is her name............ Oh, Karley Jo a.k.a MONKEY TOES. She weighed in a 7lb 3 oz. Just think how big she would have been if she had made it to the end of March.
Monkey Toes and Mom is doing just great, they came home late Wednesday night and so far making it just fine. I haven't been over to see Monkey Toes for I have had the crud but just as soon as I'm over this, I'm going to get in some rocking time. Yea, I'm anxious to get in some bonding time with Monkey Toes.
OH Monkey Toes, Oh Monkey toes, how I love thee soo..............
