The newest member of our seriously dysfunctional family is well and now home experiencing her 8th day of life in this parenthesis of eternity, after spending the first 6-1/2 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Delivered caesarian three weeks early, she was kept in NICU because she’d gotten stuck, inhaled fluids, needed to be observed until her lungs cleared out and was taught how to eat and breathe because she was "chugging".
I’ll get to see, hold, welcome and caution Princess to not get caught up in the hype this world throws at you, in person when I drive to Long Beach Christmas Day.

And so, life goes on.
Now, about that pigment or, more appropriately, lack thereof .......
Oh dear, but she's so cute. The video seems to cover all of the bases. And so begins the feud between the grannies! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI win the feud without even trying, because a visit to the kids from White Grandma is a trial, a chore, exhausting but a visit from me has been described as "refreshing".
DeleteWe gotta figure a name for the Princess to call you, like "Granny Shirley," or Gorgeous Grandma. Something that describes your character could work, like Funny Granny. Such a distinct descriptive name will also perturb White Grandma. Just a thought. Linda in Kansas
DeleteToo late to come up with a name as I'm already sold on the kids calling me "GG" for great grandma. I don't worry about White Grandma because a great trumps a grandma.
DeleteThe Grand Empress Shirley has a nice sound to it.
DeleteLOL. I wouldn't mind it.
DeleteWhat a cutie! Glad she's okay now and at home.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to see how her spoiled brother, not yet 2 years old, is going to react to having to share attention.
DeleteShe's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world, and fight for change!
And vote BLUE.
DeleteShe looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteSugar and Spice and everything nice 😊
DeleteWhat a cutie!
ReplyDeleteShe is, isn't she (my unbiased opinion) 😊
DeleteScrumptious! Congratulations! babies are the best. Natural endorphins for grannies.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Can't wait to meet her.
DeleteSo glad she's now doing well. Hoping the dysfunctional family functions a bit better!
ReplyDeleteNice hope, but doesn't look like it 🙄
DeleteShe's sure a cutie.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that video 😆
You might want to look up that Kat Williams White Baby video on YouTube to see in its entirety.
