I woke up this morning with about 15 missed calls,from my mom.My niece was in labor.I scurried up to the hospital,leaving tracks w/o a shower and in my pjs.Drinking coffee on my way.My low tire pressure light come on;(Great,I have never changed a tire.What to do!!!!!I just keep going.I called Dave,who told me its the high heat causing the sensor to go off.....Right LOL.I had a flat,silly Dave.I was expecting to see a new baby when I got their.Nope,my niece was in major labor,and asked me to stay in the room with her.OMGOSH,I wanted to go hide.How can I manage this w/o panic.Shes only 16.I was the same age when I had Brian.She wanted my comfort.It was absolutely awful on her and she had hard labor for about

WOW! What an unforgettable experience, Jeanie. Looking back, you will have such wonderful memories. I am positive your niece appreciated your support. In spite of *thinking* you might panic, you did so well. Give yourself a big pat on the back. P&PT's to the new mom & baby. (((hugs))) jan

oh my gosh, that is such a beautiful story!! What a wonderful aunt you are!!!! Thank goodness you stuck by her and held her hand! and just think, next time you start to feel panicked in a situation, you can say to yourself "hey, i made through that labor... i can make it through this!!"

Hi everyone,both mom and baby are doing great,in fact they are coming home tonight at 7.They sure rush you, in and out anymore.I guess that's how they do things.I wasn't so lucky,all my babies were premies.My niece,seems very quiet.When the baby was born,she just kind of looked away in a trance.I mentioned that to her DO.He says shes young and that's all very traumatic for her and that she will come around.I hope so,I just worry about depression,I guess;(


I am off to Firestone,with my flat tire.Somewhere I picked up a nail on one of my short travels.I also have to drop my white westie off to be shaved.She will look silly being shaved,but shes just to hot.Busy day for me.I have to be back from the hospital in time today for my sons GF b-day party.Anyone that knows anything about that mess,will also know I am not looking forward to this.My anxiety is just kind of teetering.Mother nature is to blame for that today.


Jeanie

LoL Sheri Ann.it was not firestone,it was treadmill tire;)I had a piece of metal stuck in my tire.I ordered a pile of dirt to be delivered to my drive way the other day and I have a feeling the metal came from that.


I ask Brian and his gf if we could just have cake and ice cream tomorrow.I am very tired.So that's on for tomorrow.It will be at my house and I have to pretend....LOL
