My third grandaughter arrived today, Oct. 1, at 5:05 pm, one month early but very welcome! Mia Marie Wright weighed in at 5 pounds 1/2 ounce and 17 1/2 inches long. She is having difficulty breathing but IS doing it on her own. Mother (my daughter Charity) is doing fine although a little sick from having the Csection. Princess Mia is by far the smallest baby to date for this family. Her parents were going to name her Alexandria but changed their mind when they saw how tiny she is...............then they decided on a small name. She is in the infant intensive care but the doctors feel she is progressing well.
Man, I hope she can come home soon. I had forgotten how much I MISS a baby in the house!!
Love,
Minnie
