well the day i have been praying for has finally arrived. i am a grandmother! riley catherine campbell arrived 5 weeks early on feb. 25 2009. she is still in the hospital on a feeding tube but she is breathing on her own at last. she is a strong nurser. rachel is hoping to bring her home next weekend. first she has to be able to sit in her car seat for an hour while breathing on her own. seems odd to me but whatever precautions they feel they need to take its alright with me. just so she comes home and i can hold her. rachel seems to be a natural mother. and she is like a bear with her cubs. it is so rewarding to see my daughter holding her daughter. rachel will be a terrific mother, i'm sure. she already seems to be so confident and calm. quite a treat to watch. and campbell is so happy to be a daddy its adorable.
