TWELVE DAYS EARLY

Every pregnant woman's dream, is to not

go over your due date...a little early is better.

Our little Sydnee arrived 12 days early.

My daughter- in -law's water broke, she was happy

but also pretty much in shock the whole day.

My son was in Alaska, he went immediately to the

Dutch Harbor airport and waited on standby.

I was so fortunate to watch the birth, and video tape and 

Aunt Melissa held the phone so my son could be part of the whole 

grand event.  She checked in at 11:00 had an epidural. She

went into labor around 4:30 and 15 minutes later....our little

Sydnee Bean Kirkpatrick arrived.

She went to mama's breast and nursed for 2 hours.

She didn't even get cleaned up or weighted until later.

The most memorable experience of my life.

Other than Sam being born, which we didn't see

him until he was an hour old.  Amazing and life 

affirming.  Born on friday, July 27th.

Here she is on Sunday.

They came and hung out at Grammy's and Grampa's.

Everyone was exhausted.  Including mom and dad.

Sam...not really happy about sharing his mama.

Oh well...in time I am sure he will be the best brother in

the world.

By the way...favorite shirt which is pajama bottoms.

Want's to wear to "bumblebee's", everyday...
