Monday morning my Mom and Dad got me up and kept me home from Day Care so that we could drive up to Longview, Texas and see my niece be born. My Sister Allison's due date was Sunday, January 20th, and since it hadn't come before today, they scheduled Allison being induced at 5:00 am at the Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview, Texas.
We drove up and got there around lunch time, and Mom and Dad knew that I would be happier waiting in the labor and delivery waiting room if I had lunch.....so we stopped at McDonalds my favorite place and got lunch before going to the Hospital.
Dad bought Allison flowers - her favorite and made sure they were pink!!
Then we went back out to the waiting area and waited and waited and waited for what seemed like eternity!! My Dad took me for a drive and got me some dinner while Mom stayed close by Allison "just in case".
John's parents the Rex's were there too and we had fun visiting. Then Aunt Elizabeth came up and was probably the smartest of us all because she got there in the evening time and didn't have to wait too long before we got the news that she was pushing...
Then we heard that Charlotte Elizabeth Rex was born and that she weighed 7 lbs 3 ozs, and 19 inches long. We were all so anxious to see and hold her.
The proud Dad
My beautiful niece....
Me and Charlotte
Grandma and Grandpa Rex - so excited!!
My Dad is loving being a Grandpa!
My Mom is thrilled!!
Aunt Elizabeth is crying because she just found out that they named Charlotte after her...
her middle name is Elizabeth.
I'm getting to hold my niece again....
The parents love her so much!!
and I think Great Aunt Elizabeth and Charlotte are going to have
a special connection.....don't you??
