A VERY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY

Dear little Genevieve Grace! This is your grandma, and I wanted to tell you a little bit about your WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY. You were born on November 11th, 2014 at 1:58  in the afternoon, and your mommy and daddy were both there, and grandma got to be there too. I was very excited about getting to watch your birth, and thought it was a very magical moment!  Your mommy went to the hospital at Arlington Memorial Hospital on November 10th very late in the evening to get ready to have you the very next day. Her labor started early in the morning, and your daddy called me and said that you were going to be born in a little while, so grandma came to the hospital about 8 am.  Your mommy and daddy were excited that they were finally going to get to meet you. This is the room that you were born in, and there is the baby bed which was waiting for you and all warmed up and ready.

The nurses were very good and watched all of the time to make sure that you and your mommy were doing just fine! Grandma was watching too!

After awhile, your mommy was progressing very well, and when your daddy went down to have a little quick lunch, the nurse came and said that your mommy was doing well, and that they would bring in the "stuff" that the dr would need for when you would be born, and that it would not be too long now! We are hoping that you will hurry up and arrive.

Finally it was almost time, and your mommy was working very hard to help you be born. Your daddy was very excited when we began to see that it would not be too long now!  Lots of work having a baby, but also very exciting!

Finally, at 1:58 in the afternoon, Dr Perril helped you  be born, and here you are, not even a minute old. You looked so beautiful, and all of us felt like crying because we were so happy that you were finally here, and that you looked just PERFECT

You were crying too, and that is just what a new baby always does.  You looked SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

This is the very first time that your mommy got to 'MEET YOU" and she had tears in her eyes from JOY, and so did your DADDY! Grandma was taking your photo, but there were tears in my eyes too. What a very special moment this was!

Pretty soon, the nurse took you over to check you out and see how much you weighed. My goodness! You weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces, and you were 19 inches tall.  just a perfect size.

Daddy came over, and wanted to hold your hand. You already like holding hands with your DADDY, and you will be holding his hand for many years to come. Daddy already has a look of great love in his eyes.

After a little while, you went to the nursery to get a little bath and get warmed up in a very special bed.

Grandma was outside of the nursery watching, and thought you looked JUST BEAUTIFUL. What a very special day this has been, and a day that none of us will ever forget.  Your big sister Monica came right away to see you with your little neices, Paytin and Ariel, Grandpa was there and loved seeing you, and Aunt Heather also came and brought you a new present. we are all so excited that you have finally arrived and we know that you are going to be a very loved little girl!
