Stacy and I are grandparents! And what a blessing from God she is! Of course, we think she's the most beautiful baby ever -- and we are just so happy that Casey and Kate are healthy!
Casey went into labor Tues., Feb. 24, and called us about 7 a.m. that they were at the hospital and they were keeping her. So we packed our bags and hit the road (5 1/2 hours from Huntsville) -- talking back and forth to Casey, John and Anna, who was on her way from Atlanta (just 3 hours away). After her second episode with 8-minute-long contractions that dropped Kate's heart rate, the doctors decided to do a c-section. Anna arrived before everyone -- then John's parents Kaye and Mitchell arrived just before Casey went into the operating room -- and we arrived about 30 minutes after Kate was born. Anna had already taken about 100 photos by the time we got there, and Kate was in the nursery getting checked out and cleaned up -- and Casey was in recovery.
Kate weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. and was 19-1/2 inches long. Her full name is Katherine Lee.
We left late this afternoon and just got home -- and I had to put this up on my blog with photos. Anna is staying until tomorrow, and hopefully Casey can get some rest before she goes home on Fri. I'll go back up next week to help out after they've settled into a routine.
