First Day as Grandma!

Well, is anything better than a granddaughter?

Jack and I were blessed April 15, 2009 with our darling Jordan!

We got the call about 7:30 PM on April 14, a week earlier than when she was due.  Jackie, Jack and I jumped into the car and arrived in Walnut Creek just before midnight.   We checked into the hotel and waited and waited.  We weren’t sure if we should sleep in our clothes or not.  Obviously, we did not sleep very well due to our excitement and anticipation of the phone call.

At 6:30 AM we finally called Jay to see how things were going and he informed us Jamie delivered about 5:30 AM.  He suggested we give them a couple of  hours to get Jamie into the postpartum room before we visit.  We ran down for breakfast and waited impatiently for our opportunity to meet our new granddaughter and niece.  Jay would not tell us her name, he wanted Jamie to tell us.  Finally, we went to the hospital and I was overwhelmed with emotion.  I had no idea this special event would have such an affect on me.  Jordan Kaylee was the most beautiful baby.  No one could be happier with such a special gift than Grandma Terri!

Jay & Jamie were obviously very proud and exhausted parents.  It was a joyful day! Jack & Jackie stayed a few hours and then headed home.  Grandma Terri stayed on an extra week to help out around the house and caring for the precious angel who just entered our lives.
