Tuesday, August 17, 2010, Kelsey & Tim headed for the hospital. Upon arrival, they found the inn was too full and were told to come back later. So, they went out and had some food. Later that evening they returned, set her up in a room, and gave her something to begin dilation.

Just chillin' with the epidural.

Brookie Wookie arrived August 18th @ 2.... PM

A family begins!

Aunt Auty

Aunt Krista

Suga' Ma' almost needed a doctor herself. Between trying to hold the camera still and supporting Kelsey's pushing efforts, I forgot to BREATHE. How embarrassing! I did not want to take the doctor's and nurse's attention away from Kelsey, so I began to pray earnestly that I wouldn't pass out. I did have to bend over and lower my head, but I made it through.

Basking in the rays of the heat lamp. She had been crying, but calmed right down under the heat.



They let me go to the nursery with Tim and the baby when he bathed her. Grandmothers do have some privileges.

I Love Luci!

Kelsey, Tim, and I were waiting in the hall when the doctor came in. As she approached us, the nurse motioned to her and the doctor started running. It was only minutes and one long scream later that we heard the baby cry. Luci arrived a beautiful little angel. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and was 20 inches long. She was born August 15 bright and early.
