HAPPY HAPPY GRANDMA!!!!!

He's Even Cuter Today!!!

We had the privilege to spend most of today at the hospital with Jason, Karen and Collin! What a great day it was just hanging out and cuddling Collin and watching Jason and Karen begin their parenting adventure!! We are just in awe of this little guy and are so in love with him already!!

The "grand" In Grandparent!!!

It has hard to put in to words the feelings that Alvin and I had last night as we were introduced to Collin for the first time. If I were to use the word overwhelming that would be an understatment. He is beautiful and we are so proud of Karen and Jason! Karen did a great job getting Collin here safe--and Jason took serious all of their classes and was a great coach and support! We are sure looking forward to more Collin time this weekend! I will post more pictures soon!

Grandma Marti and Grandpa Alvin have arrived and are on their way to meet him. More posts to follow

They have a room!!!

Jason sent a text about 9 our time (11 there) to let us know they had a room!! She was having some contractions and was dilated a little!! So it looks like we could have a baby tomorrow!!! I will try to post an update before we leave for the airport!! We get to Raleigh at 4 tomorrow afternoon and then will rent a car and drive the 70 miles to Jason and Karen's. I will hopefully have pictures and more info to post tomorrow night!!
Thanks so much for love, prayers and support!! I'm going to be a Grandma soon!!!!

Plans change!!

Well as I posted the other day the plan was to induce this morning! Well the real plan was to wait some more!! The kids had to call the hospital this morning to see if there was room for them to come in and be induced! There wasn't!! So they are on a list and keep calling to see where they are on the list!! Karen did just text to say that the hospital wants them to come in for some tests so.....
I will keep you updated as I get updates! Please pray with us that the tests go well, that Karen and Collin are both fine, that Jason and Karen keep their good attitudes (they are getting tired!!) and that things start to progress towards his delivery.

Not Yet!!!!

That's the answer to the "is he here" question we've been getting! Jason and Karen were in for a check this morning and all of the vitals look good. I have decided he is a very content baby and likes it where he is at--his mommy is thinking he is a little on the stubborn side and is making them wait until he is good and ready!! We are praying for contractions!!! The plan is to induce on Wednesday but Karen and Jason would really like labor to start on its own!
I will keep you posted!
