I am spending just the best 7 days ever! Wednesday morning early, I got THE call from Robert that MaryAnn had delivered a 7 pound, 10 ounce healthy baby girl at 3:28 AM on Feb. 12, 2003. I readied myself for an afternoon flight to Atlanta and got to MaryAnn's hospital room at Northside by about 5:30 PM. That's when I was first introduced to my 2nd granddaughter Caroline Susan. Needless to say, she's beautiful and perfect in every way!

Robert headed home later that evening for a good night's sleep, and I was privileged and lucky enough to get to spend the night with my girls. I didn't get much sleep, but then again, who cares??? After all, I can sleep anytime, but it's not often (and especially these days) that I can just be totally, ecstatically happy and excited about such a wonderful event.

Robert came back to the hospital early Thursday morning and I went back to their home Thursday evening to take care of kitties and get some rest myself. I just crashed...I was so tired, but such a good tired!

On Friday, I attended a chapel service at Columbia, where Michael was preaching and then Marta'd out to Northside again, to help the "new" family in their homecoming. We arrived home at around 5:30 PM and it was fun to see the kitties explore the new person in their life.

The last couple of days have been filled with sleeping, eating (yes, Robert cooked another gourmet meal of beef stroganoff last night), holding, watching, kissing, photographing, caring for, worrying about (for a time there, we were all slightly concerned that Caroline was not urinating as often as she needed to be, but she's way behond that now!), swaddling, changing, bathing, and just generally oohing and aahing over Caroline!

I'm on the downhill turn of my visit and I'm trying not to project how hard it's going to be for me to get on that plane on Tuesday to return to Dallas and say goodbye to Caroline, if only for just a short few days. I'm lucky enough to have a conference here in Atlanta and will be back on the 22nd!

Here are the first pictures of Caroline!
