I'm very pleased to tell you that Betsy's first grandson James Ian was born today, via c-section, at 6:35 pm. He weighs 6 lbs. 5 oz. He and his mother Melissa, and daddy Chuck, are all fine. The new grandmom is still in the hospital at UNC-Chapel Hill, and infinitely frustrated she was not there for the birth of her grandson and that she cannot see him yet. I reminded her that he is not going anywhere and she will certainly be seeing enough of him in the many years to come, so no need to be so impatient. Congratulations Betsy and Doug!! |

Betsy, hang in there. Your grandson will be there. He can't wait to see his grandma but God knows you are sick and will be better soon. So glad for them. I know how frustrated she must be but now she has even more of a reason to get well. Hang in there, Sweetie and congratulations!!!

Congrats Grandma!!!!! Now there is some good news! I think thats just what our Betsy needs to help her along in her recovery so she can spend some time with her new little grandbaby. From some of the women that I work with that have grandchildren, I can definately tell that grandkids light up their lives like nothing else, and I am sure that is going to be the case with Betsy. It's wonderful to hear such good news with everything else going on!

Congratulations to Grandma and Grandpa I spoke with Doug late afternoon as betsy was asleep from having test done on her all day. I was asking Doug isn't the baby due soon, and he said yes, next week. next week flew by! lol No other updates other than Betsy continues to improve. Doug sounded much better too. Now if we could only get some real food upstairs for them to eat, other than the hospital food. Congratulations also to the new Mommy and Daddy and Happy Birth day little James Ian. ((((Betsy)))) get well and hurry home so you can snuggle and sing to your beautiful grandson, James Ian. Love you both xoxoxo |

Old Granny Betsy. Has a certain ring to it. Won't be long till she's taking the wee one out - inevitably to the liquor store where she can load as much vodka as the pram basket can take. |
