The last week and a half has been a real roller coaster ride.  On Saturday, February 2nd as my husband and I were winding up a long needed vacation and I was was feeling good about being able to post my daily story despite being out at sea for a week I received a text message from our son.  His wife had gone into labor six weeks early and had to have an emergency c-section.

I am happy to say mother and child are doing very well.

I on the other hand am still coming down from the heightened stress of changing our travel plans to get home sooner, spending the last week at the hospital supporting my son and daughter-in-law and helping them out the first couple of days home with a new baby.  

My new grandchild is an incredibly beautiful baby, barely six pounds and just a little peanut.  A welcomed addition to our growing family.
