Life changing event!

I am in day 8 of a life changing, future altering, perspective defining moment! Starting March 8 our daughter and her husband went in to the hospital to deliver their first child-our first grandchild. On Tuesday morning at 12:11 AM we joyously welcomed Audrey Jane into our lives - and the world has looked different ever since then!

I don't have the vocabulary to adequately describe the various waves of emotion I have experienced over the last couple of days.

In the days leading up to Audrey's birth I could not describe my feelings without choking up. As I thought about my "little girl" giving birth I just melted. She has been through so much, including some very serious health challenges, there were days we thought this experience might not come her way. I wanted to do what I could so she would not have to go through that pain.

I am so very proud of my daughter - she labored long and hard to deliver a robust 9 lb 3oz daughter. Even when it looked like a c-section was required she and her great Dr worked some amazing mid-wife miracles enabling a c-section to be avoided and our granddaughter to be delivered swiftly. Her husband was by her side the entire time, offering words of encouragment and love -he never waivered in his focus and support.

amazing-life altering-indescribable!
