Well I certainly couldn’t ask for a better way to wrap up September. Our newest grandchild joined the family on the evening of September 30th. Aria Elenitsa Medina was born weighing in at 10 lbs 6.6 oz, 21 inches long, and of course absolutely beautiful! She also let her mom know that she plans to be a handful.
Eileen went into the hospital around 5:30 in the morning and Aria didn’t arrive until after 7 that night! I of course followed the progress via text messages as I was busy doing my favorite thing. Babysitting!! Sophia and I hung out for the day and were joined in the afternoon by Elliana which allowed all the ladies to spend the day with Eileen in the delivery room, which I know she appreciated.
As for me and the grandkids we had a blast, playing ring around the roses, climbing into their fort (under the outdoor dining table) and just generally running around. While I did have a ball, those little girls ran me ragged. By the time that I finally put them down for the night, I was done in and ready to collapse. I remember them sending me the first picture of Aria and she instantly brought tears of joy and a smile to my face and I was anxious to meet here. It was just after that that I was told to prepare myself for a trip to the hospital, Cathy and Nicole were coming to relieve me, with food that I could take to the hospital for Helen, Eileen, Adam and myself. To be honest I was tired enough that I could have easily just gone to bed. But the moment I walked into the room and met Aria for the first time, I found my energy restored and my heart full of joy. She was a fabulous baby, and holding her was a perfect end to the day.
Aria welcome to the family and I look forward to many years of happiness with you, your sister, and cousins.
