Awake: 6:22am Temp 66 sleep 6+13 fog--mostly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
When I returned from the Koffee Klub meeting, I listened to a phone message from Kathy; she said: " I want you to come over here; I could use some help in taking care of the boys. Melissa is having contractions (6) mins apart & I'm pretty sure that she & Kevin will be heading to the hospital soon." I asked her if I should take the time to have breakfast, & she thought that would be ok.
When I arrived, Melissa was walking around in the basement, focusing on her crocheting & noting the length & interval of her contractions. It wasn't long after my arrival that Kevin & Melissa left for the hospital; time: 2:15pm.
Meanwhile, for whatever reason, the Foote boys were wound up; maybe having their mommy & daddy gone for the day, their schedule disrupted, the uncertainty of the whole situation, wondering about this new baby,& having Gramma & G-daddy in charge. Anyway, I was glad that Kathy called when she did; we had our hands full the rest of the day & evening.
Kevin called mid evening & announced: Gregory Ian Foote was born @ 7:07pm weighing 7 lbs & 7 oz. Both mother & baby were doing fine.
Picture taken 3 days....19 hrs later.
After successfully getting the boys showered & Andrew & Matthew sleeping peacefully, with only Nathan left to get to bed, Kathy dismissed me around 8:00 pm & I drove back to Nicktown.
My dinner: Leftover Lasagna, 4-bean salad & a mixed salad.
Lights out: 12:08am
