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!!
I'm so glad she's here safe and sound. Wow! Sounds like perfect timing for her. Congratulations, Grandpa and Grandma!
ReplyDeleteYay! How fun for you! LOVE her name!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy and so relieved to hear the wonderful news! What a pretty little baby she is! And it is so sweet to name her after Hal's mom - Tricia and James are cool that way, to name their kids after people they love.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I'm so glad she's here safe and sound. I love her name. She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute! I can't wait to meet her!
ReplyDeleteShe's a doll. So glad she's here and doing so much better now. And I loved reviewing all your reunions as well. What a crazy time to have a huge thunder/rainstorm hit. Right as everyone's about to head down the slide. So sorry. Did you get to do it later I hope?
