Ruby and parents are home from the hospital. They are doing well except for being sleep deprived! Last night I went over for a while and got to hold her. She's just beautiful. There wasn't anyone else there except sis-in-law's mom and she didn't mind me holding her so much.
I got home about 10:35 and my brother called our mom because Ruby was screaming her head off and wouldn't stop. Apparantly, a little while after I left, little Ruby got a bad tummy ache. I'm not sure if our mom went into nurse mode or Mamaw mode, but she left pretty quick. Brother had Ruby asleep by the time mom got there, but that didn't last long. Mom helped them with some tricks for the colic thing so next time they can know what to do. Being a first time parent is tough!
I don't know what we'd all do without our mom! She's a machine!!! She definitely knows the baby thing.
Now, I want to clear up something I put in the post about Ruby the other day. There was a song in the 70's by Kenny Rogers called "Ruby." It was about a Vietnam Veteran who came home from the war crippled. Ruby was his wife. It's one of my favorite Kenny Rogers songs. Not that I'm a Kenny buff, but there's a few I like. That's the thing with that song line "Ruby, don't take your love to town." Actually, the song is sad and that's probably the reason I've always liked it.
Have a good day!
I remember so well when I had my first baby, and the crying and the colic and bouncing him up and down on my knees until I was exhausted, because that's the only thing that kept him happy...and you know who was there for me? Papa...that is my fondest memory of him...that is what brings tears to my eyes...and warm memories and a sadness...God's timing in things amazes me...<3
