I am a step-step Grandma!!

Tabitha and Shaun headed to the hospital at 2am.
I grabbed Marina out of school at 11:00 am.
We got to the hospital (downtown, if I might add…you know the place with all the streets with numbers and letter and ONE WAY signs!!??) Around noon and at 12:35pm Ariana Faith Griffin was born. 7lbs 9oz and 18 inches long. 10 fingers, 10 toes and looking all kinds of adorable.

Shaun is going to be adding the pictures tomorrow of all the shots he took all morning and all night. Right now he’s brain dead.

The picture above was taken by Tabitha. I’ve bought a lot of things in my life that I regret; a Kirby, a Volvo, and one of those mechanisms that hold the soda in the fridge and roll down a new one. In December I bought Tabitha a digital camera. It has turned out to be on the better gifts I have ever given anyone. She uses it daily and is always grateful for it. Today she not only captured some very awesome pictures, but precious videos.

Tabitha has the footprint from Ariana on her arm from when she got her foot printed. At random moments she would throw up her forearm and say proudly, “I’m a grandma!”
Seeing her walk out of the delivery room fighting back tears made me have to fight back tears for her. She kept saying, “I am so proud of her.” She truly is a fantastic mother…and now a grandma.

This makes Shaun a step-grandpa. We decided that we are going to make Ariana call him “Pappy”, just to make him feel very old.
I am a step-step grandma. I opted for the cooler name of “G-ma” Somehow, I know Tabitha will switch it up and make Ariana call me G-ma Koo-Koo. She’s mean like that ;)

Jennifer did fantastic. In every picture, her wonderful husband, Greg looks so madly in love with his wife and her strength. He nearly made me cry with the attention he was pouring over both of them.

He leaves back to Korea in a week or so. Please pray for his strength and safety as he battles in this war.

Thank you all ahead of time for the congrats…and thank you SO much for all my mixed CDs. They made driving in downtown hell so much easier. I will post more about that later though.

SPF: Something “Pink and Little”. (minds out of the gutter)

P.S. I am a G-ma!! HOLY CRAP!
