Well, no news yet. Am back home. If the baby doesn't start showing some exit tactics today, I will go back tonight and tomorrow morning at 5 the doctor will induce labor. She is past the due date and the baby is more than ready I guess.

Braeden was fine, happy go lucky most of the time. But sometimes when he is crossed, he just explodes in screaming fits. This has only been since the latter part of his first treatments. They don't know if it has to do with the treatments or he just has no patience left for anything that crosses him.

You guys know I'm overweight so this will sound funny but a little sad. Dawn and I were sitting on the couch but because it is real deep and I am short, I was kind of reclining. Braeden said something to Dawn about the baby in her tummy. She said, "Yes, baby Owen is in Mommy's tummy." He looked over at me and said, "Grandma, do you have a baby in your tummy?" I laughed and said, "No, it just looks that way."

Oh speaking of baby Owen, his name will officially be Owen Joshua Burgess. So they have Ian, Braeden and Owen, boys and Eliana is a girl. She is proud that she is the only one with a name not ending in N.

Yup, we got a boy. Dawn and Kevin got to the hospital around 5:15 AM. The pretosin (?) was started about 5:40 and baby Owen Joshua made his appearance at 8:20. He weighed 9 pounds and 3 ounces and measured 20.5" long. Mother and baby are doing fine. Baby has a healthy set of lungs if I can judge by what I was hearing over the phone.

We had allowed Ian to go in to school late because we weren't sure how Braeden would take his mommy being gone and Grandma sleeping on the couch. His parents worried he would go balistic as he sometimes does and at least the kids being here might calm him. But he came wandering out of his room, gruffly said, "Good morning." and began watching some kid's show on TV. The kids talked with him about where mom and dad were and he seemed fine with it. The only time he objected to anything was when we were going to take the kids to school. He didn't seem to want to leave his house. So I just carried him crying to the car and strapped him in his seat. We talked about what interesting things we saw along the way and he eventually began looking around so to not miss the great stuffwe were seeing. It's now noon and he's fine. It was so cute when Kevin told him he had a baby brother, on the phone. His face lit up and he yelled, "WHOO HOO."  He has played quietly by himself all morning.

Congratulations!  That is awesome!   @O@

All my babies were big, my last was 9.13 and they were all early, too.  I'm small and had three c-sections.  They should have just put a zipper on my belly.  LOL!  Big babies are easier to handle, too.  At least to my bumbling fingers they were.

Congratulations Grandmaw...Baby Owen picked a good day to arrive.  My Mom turned 81 on the 11th and my big sis was 61 the same day.

I too love big babies...mine were 8# 12 oz and 8# 8 oz...half grown and thankfully healthy.  C's also.

We continue to pray for Braedon.

Speaking of babies. Here's a picture of Braeden holding "Baby Owen". He kept brushing his lips over the baby's forehead and rubbing his cheek against Owen's cheek. 

Dawn felt a little funny about the baby having the birthday of 9 11.

Congratulations to you and your family Esther!!  Great pic of the boys!  Grandkids are such fun--my 4 year old granddaughter was to spend the night tonight by herself and her 7 year old sister was going to have "mommy" time alone, but it's proved too much for her thinking little sister will have too much fun.  They both are coming now  lol
