Thank you !

You're well wishes moved me to tears - what an exhausting exhilarating over the top wonderful weekend it was.
You just KNOW there's a birth story coming up, right ?
But not today.

An emergency cesarian on Saturday morning - where the decision was made within minutes...........and Ashley was up and moving around Saturday evening by Sunday morning she was tidying the room - this morning she's ready to go - go - go !  And it's pretty certain she will in fact be going home today.

The nurses are calling her the Rock Star of the ward LOL

Today I'm making a big batch of beef stew because THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY HOME!
And a Shepherd's Pie
And a baked macaroni
And a home made soup
And an apple crisp
and - and - and

Because my rock star needs proper nutrition and I can't trust her to eat properly - don't you know?

Ashley says - I'm not a baby for goodness sake Mom - I know I have to eat properly
Mom says - Hmmmmm - well let's just say it's my job to make sure you do for now


Oh my gosh - he's here everybody -
And I have so much to talk about - I'm hoping by Friday's chat I have his Mommy's permission to do so !
There's things I've learned.................

You guys are also my rock stars - I felt like I had a cheerleading section rooting for us and it was the most amazing feeling in the world.  I'm going to try my best to reply to each email - but if life happens please know how much you mean to me.

All my love,
Me

Say hello, Evan !


It's been such a whirlwind of emotions - exhaustion - and an unscheduled C-Section - but he's here !

Say hello to all your Aunties, Evan!

He's 7.12 ounces - and was born this morning September 12 at 8.30 a.m.

I have more to write about this little Angel - a lot more - but I need to sleep.
As much as I don't want to - I really really need to sleep.
And then I need to get back to the hospital.

From the bottom of my heart - thanks so much for your well wishes.

Love to you all
Me
