My daughter Laura birthed a baby boy, Kai Parker, at 1:05 a.m. on Thursday, October 2. He arrived within ten minutes of her arrival at the hospital, and weighed in at seven pounds, four ounces. I am holding my breath until Christmastime, when I will get to hold my grandson for the first time!I heard of this blessed event in an email from Laura's sister, which I received while in the computer lab at Antioch University. I was all pumped up, with no one to hug! I attended my classes vibrating inside, and finding it difficult to rub two thoughts together in my Proud Baba brain.
I thank Laura for bringing this wonderful new life into the world, Rose for bringing this wonderful news to me, Laura's father for providing a reassuring update on mother's and baby's well-being, and Christina for caring for Big Sister Kaliana and for sending out the photos that made it all seem real.
Hallelujah, and joy to the world!
