New Life!

There is nothing that gets me more excited than welcoming a new life into the world!  Especially when the new life is my baby granddaughter.  Daphne Autumn Call was born to Tacy and Charles [Chuck] today at 1:40pm.  She weighed a healthy 7 lbs. 12 oz.  I don't know her length, though.  She has a beautiful head of thick, black hair [like her Daddy].  She is Soooo cute!  I watched Fiona for a while and then she spent the afternoon with her Auntie Julia, Uncle Daniel and cousin Rae. 

Mom [Edith] and I went over to the hospital in the evening to see Daphne for the first time.  She is so sweet!  She was busy eating most of the time.  I did manage to hold her for a few moments.

Tomorrow I will bring Fiona over to see her new little sister.  I can't wait to see what her reaction will be.  Life Just doesn't get any more exciting than this!

I am over the hump from the last round of chemo, for the most part.  I can tell my immune system is being compromised, however, and I am paranoid about catching a bug of some kind from people.  Oh well, I am just so happy to be here with my daughter during this time, to be able to be of whatever support I can. 

I have made arrangements to have at least one chemo treatment here next week, and we shall see after that...I have another friend I can stay with during my really sick days, so I won't be an added burden to Tacy and Chuck. 

More Later,

Love,

Mary
