6th grandchild that is. Melia has been complaining for the last few weeks that she wanted to get this baby out. Well 4 days before her due date ( same as Isabell) she did. Sept.4th at 5:13 am she made her appearance.
I had called Erica to see if she wanted a ride up with me. But, she said no. She thought I was Alesha for a while. I have no idea why she would think Alesha was going to the hospital and wanted to know if she wanted a ride. ( she is in Utah right now) Turns out her allergies had been acting up and she had taken Benyadal and was pretty out of it. The next morning she just thought she had a dream. ( though she wished she could have been there).
I have been witness to all 6 of my grandchildren being born and feel very blessed. It is such a wonderful experince to watch them come into the world.
I finally crashed in an empty room ( the one Melia was going to be moving into) for an hour. But, that was it for sleep. Around 9am Spencer's Mom and family showed up with Isabell. Erica, Nate and family came also.

I had stayed because I wanted to see her first reactions to Ellie. Then Tressa and I headed home for sleep.
Peyton and Brady were at our house. So I didn't really ever get much sleep.
Around 4pm we headed back up to the hospital. Picked up some Papa Johns ( how Melia celebrates the birth of a baby) and grandpa got his first look at little Ellie Lynn. The middle name is after me and I feel quite honored!!!
Tressa and Jesse were there, and Erica and Nate came also. Then Melia had an unexpected guest- Carissa Gifford and her girls stopped by!

It didn't take Madison & Isabell long to find the bed for some good old fashion jumping! |
Sunday I took Isabell back up to spend some time with her mom and Ellie (Spencer had to work). We got there around 5pm and stayed till 8pm. I think Isabell enjoyed just being in the same room with her mom.
She seemed good with Ellie and whenever Melia or the nurse was doing something with her she would go watch very intently. Isabell has been very tired and feel asleep on the way home. Changed her diaper, put her jammies on, put her in bed and she really never fully woke-up!!
I'm ready for the next exciting chapter in our lives with a new grandchild.
