Come take a walk with me....: Life gets better and better

Wow its been awhile since I posted anything here, I've still been baking, sewing, painting etc but I guess the events of the winter months have kept me pretty busy or at least kept my mind too busy to spend too much time sitting here at the computer! First off my Husband has been home since early December which is awesome, we spend all our time together, playing games like backgammon and have now started playing a German game called carassonne its a lot of fun!
The most exciting thing that has happened this winter though is becoming a Grandmother!
I spent February 11th with my daughter Melissa, we went shopping , out to lunch and to her doctors appointments, she was so uncomfortable since her baby Isabel was getting so big and she had so much extra fluid I felt so badly for her. That night though 10Pm we got a call from our son in law Kyle and he told us that Melissa's water had broken! I was so excited but my Mom's instincts kicked in and I was just plain worried about my daughter so we hopped in the car and drove to the hospital. Copley hospital in Morrisville is wonderful, they welcomed us into the birthing center where we waited ( I paced) in the waiting room until Kyle came out to see us and ask if I wanted to see Melissa. OH YES! Seeing her assured me she was doing okay although must admit after all the things she had gone through in her pregnancy I was still doing the Mom worrying thing...we sat with her until they took her into surgery which I think helped her as we all were keeping things rather light for her as I knew she was worried too. They took her in for her C-Section and then my pacing really started...! About 20 minutes later the pediatrician came in and told us that we had a beautiful HEALTHY baby granddaughter and Melissa was doing good too.. Oh my gosh..yep...I lost it...LOL I wish I had thought to take a picture of Kyle when I saw him through the windows ( I had positioned myself in the hallway so I could see both sets of doors he might come through) He was walking in the hallway carrying Isabel wrapped in a blanket , it still brings tears to my eyes! We went to their room while we waited for them to get Melissa taken care of and I got to hold my Granddaughter for the first time. Oh my goodness what an amazing feeling. How can you love someone so much that soon??!!
We watched as they measured her and weighed her and Kyle so proudly holding his new daughter. It was wonderful and I'm so happy we were a part of it.
Around 1 AM they told us Melissa was now in recovery so Kyle could go see her, She was going to be in there awhile so I begged the surgeon to just let me go see her to ease my mind that she was okay ( Yep that Mom thing again) and seeing as though it was a small hospital, he said okay but only for a few minutes. :) Thats all I needed I went in, looked at her smiling , gave her a kiss and told her how beautiful her baby girl was and told her I'd see her tomorrow. ( course she doesn't remember that but I do!) Course the next day we had a huge snow storm in Vermont so I had to wait till the next day to go back and hold that new baby but that we did. My life has just gotten better, can't wait till May when our Son and daughter in law have there little boy! Oh my goodness!!
