This past weekend has been jam-packed. After the Joplin trip, I was at St Francis Hospital for a few hours welcoming my newest grandson Corbin Bruce into the world. This makes 3. Makenna was the first grand baby (she is baby Corbin's big sister) and Beckett (from my oldest son Kenny and his wife Lynnsey).
It's a happy day for Jason and Jessie. We are all ready for the new arrival.
This is the look of a proud grandma. Just after this pic, they rolled Jessie away and we went to the waiting room. I had several crossword puzzles, and did not even have time to finish the first one before they called us to see Corbin. (It was a C-section delivery.)
Jason attends to things as if he were the assigned RN. He's a proud Daddy.
Big sister Makenna looks on, taking everything in.
Makenna turned to ask Dana "What's that thing on his bottom??" Dana grinned and ignored the question, but Makenna persisted. "Grammy, what's that thing--there on his bottom?" Dana conservatively explained that Corbin was a boy and that's what makes him a boy. Makenna advised, "Well, they need to take that thing off his bottom." This story has been told and retold and will be for years to come.
I got my baby holding time. He fits nicely across my arm. A day later, it seemed to me he had gained weight. He's a healthy little guy.
Two days later, the family is home and things will get back to normal. We had dinner with J & J Sunday night, and Corbin never made a peep. He'll be sleeping all night soon, and then walking, talking, and running (maybe on trailz?).
