I was able to sit down and actually think about doing a post today.
Things are beginning to seem a little more normal now that all out of town company has left.
(In the last 5 wks. we have been with someone, either in their home or in ours.)
I want to thank any and all who have prayed for my husband as he underwent open heart surgery on the 21st of October. Your prayers have meant so much and have been answered in many ways.
He is regaining his strength each day and is walking a mile and half around our neighborhood. He will start rehab next week at the hospital. God is so good and we are so blessed.
In fact, he brought another wonderful blessing into our family yesterday in the person of Ivy Louise.
We have been anxiously waiting all month for her to arrive, since her due date was Oct. 31st. She missed my Mom's birthday on the 8th, my brother's on the 9th and mine which is today. That's ok though, she deserves her own special day!
She weighed in at 8lbs. 12oz. and 21" long. She's such a little sweetheart. Mother and baby are doing great!
Sarah, our daughter, was such a trooper and went completely natural. That's right, without any aid of drugs at all. Whew, so glad it's over for her! (She got to the hospital at 3 a.m. and had her at 5:08 p.m.)
Here she is getting weighed and measured.
With me, the proud Grammy

I am a new blogger who just happened to drop by the other day and found out about your husband's condition. May God continue to bless him and your family. Welcome to the little one also. I look forward to your life getting back to normal for you and I will visit again.
So happy for you all! Poor little Sarah - but what a prize in little Ivy Louise! She's gorgeous. Congratulations on your newest grandbaby!
