Sunday - July 8, 2012 we welcomed Ruby Grace Thomas! She is a sweet little girl with tiny features and a mellow disposition (at least so far). Tricia named her after Hal's mom! There was a bit (well let's be honest - a lot of drama with getting her here!) Tricia had a very difficult pregnancy and things were especially difficult in the week before Ruby was born. With 3 false alarm trips to the hospital and after being in labor for 9 days- they finally did the C Section and it was a good thing that they did! The placenta had begun to tear away. Ruby had a rough start with her lungs not inflating ( so it was also good that she had the extra 8 days to grow and mature a little more) and she spent a few hours in the NICU after she was born. But I am happy to report that she is doing much better now! My friend Susan Taylor's brother delivered her and he is a wonderful doctor with a great bedside manner!
Tricia will certainly have her hands full with her 4 little children! There is nothing sweeter than a newborn baby and we are so happy to have Ruby join our family!!
