AS I SEE IT...

Just Updating My Blog...

My daughter had her baby Thursday afternoon, about 3 O'CLOCK, October 13th. She is beautiful of course... 7 lbs, 14 oz., and 19 inches long. They named her Jessi Lynn, after telling me they were going to spell it "Jessie", they dropped the e. Oh well, she's healthy and beautiful.

My son's baby was born August 31st, but I've only seen Hayden once... seems my son and Amy are too busy to be bothered with me... oh well... Hayden was premature, only weighted about 4 pounds, and spent his first ten days in the hospital, and had three complete blood transfusions... Damn. Somethings wrong but neither my son nor Amy has told me anything.

My daughter lost everything in the flooding brought on by hurricane Rita. She is rebuilding her nest in my house. She is completely rearranging my nest. I guess I really don't care, and I'm just really glad everybody is alive.

Ya'll need to believe me when I tell you Red Cross is a sham. FEMA is a really bad joke, and if it was not for local church groups who provided a baby crib and mattress, a baby swing, and lots of necessary baby clothes - we'd be in a bind. I got the baby car seat/stoller combo at Sears.

Do ya'll know how expensive baby stuff has gotten?Unbelievable.

My daughter does not appreciate my political views or rants, so for the time being... I'm not saying a word.

I don't think babies need much more than love, diapers, lots of blankets for wraping, and lots of holding. I nursed all four of mine, so baby formula was not an issue.

I don't believe a baby can be held too much, and I certainly don't believe a baby can be spoiled.
