She's finally here





This has been one emotional week for me. But I have to say that seeing the birth of my granddaughter was definetely worth every minute. Having had 5 kids of my own you would think that childbirth would be no big deal to me, but let me tell you it takes on a whole new meaning when it is your baby having a baby. Summer did a great job and did Steven. He was really there for her through it all. So now for the details. Summer's doctor decided that he was going to induce her when she went in for her regular appointment due to high blood pressure. We got the call and we were on our way to the hospital. When we got there we found out that because of the flu they would only allow two people per patient in the hosptial. At first they would not even let any one wait in the waiting room. This was a big letdown since Steven's Mom came from California to see the baby born and then she wasn't even able to stay. She was so nice about it though. I will never be able to express to her how much it meant to me that she understood that I wanted to be there with Summer. So I sent the girls home and settle in for a long night. Mykayelee Ashlyndawn May was born at 7:04 am October 13, 2009. She weighed 6 lbs 6 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long. She definitely has her Momma's mouth. I couldn't be prouder. Her are some pictures
