Welcome to the world - Jace Jeffrey, my new grandson


What a wondrous day...

Jace Jeffrey slept through the entire visit ...he squeaked once


My oldest son, JoJo, became a father today...
For many years I never dreamed I'd walk into a room to see him holding his baby...



My future daughter-in-law is beautiful...
Yet today .... her beauty was radiant



My youngest son Jonas, and Jace


My daughter Nicole ...my first born


HAPPY FEET!


I now have three beautiful grandsons...
Life .....
Joy .....

His middle name - Jeffrey ...in loving memory of my beloved brother...

peace~

I recall getting teary-eyed because I was awaiting Jace...
And her picture was so very beautiful... wrapped in a feet blanket!
How sweet and ironic...
Feet
Yours....Almost a month old... they change and grow so quickly...


Thank you for your kind words...

Thank you...
I think he's a cutie for sure..

Yet...
I never thought that my oldest son would ever be a father...
He's thirty-eight .... and always expressed that his Love's children were as his....he's been their only father....raising them as his own.
He said that they were all he needed ....
She has two other children..and they're wonderful..
And then ... they had one together after all these years.
Keep the faith ... we never know....

I worked as an OB nurse for years. Every baby was a miracle & all families were precious. It still brings a tear to my eye to see the joy that a single baby will bring to this old world. It's an affirmation that yes, we're still doing it right!

Peace & joy to you & your family & sweet lil Jace Jeffrey, Dystopian! Congratulations to you all!!

OB nurses are priceless ....
Forty years ago ... the only one at my side was my OB nurse...
I understand the tears after all that you've experienced in your life...
The joys that you've been a part of..... forever a part of you.

Ironically, my daughter said 'I wonder if I should be an OB nurse...'
But she is on the other side of life, and I know that is her niche ...
She's a hospice nurse ...
The family's rock, and the passing of loved ones is what she deals with daily.
Cycle of life...
There are those who must be there for the families to welcome ... and be there until the end.

Thank you for your congratulations...
Tears of joy are the best....

All the pics are beautiful, but Nicki was brilliant to suggest that one. And you know how special it is to see Nicki holding Jace, after all she's been through.

What a great bunch you have there, Dystopian! This thread lit up my day--thank you!

I'm honored that your day was lit...
Yes, Nicki is still living her life ... going through the same...
Yet, she is filled with so much love and happiness that she will not succumb to her own plight.

She's goofy and funny ...
She insisted on the feet photo.
We were swapping cameras that morning....then I got a call from her:

"Hey! Where's the picture of Jace's feet!!!? I don't have it!!!!"
I had to email that picture to her on the spot!
Too funny...
She was so excited...First time being an Auntie!

Thank you for remembering
Time passes ...
Memories remain.
