He's Here!

Well your mom's eviction notice worked! You came to us on Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 11:19 pm. You weighted 6 lb 9 oz and are 21 1/4 inches long.

You are without a doubt the most beautiful and precious grandson in the whole world! The love I felt for you before you were born is absolutely minor in comparison to the way I feel about you now!

It is the most incredible feeling in the world! I got to stay with your mom, dad, and you last week! Today, I had to come back to work! This is really hard! I want to call all the time and check on you, but your grandmother and grandfather Pennington are there and I know that they are taking good care of you. But I sure do miss you!

Love,
Gammie Martin

Eviction Notice...

Hey Little Buddy!

I cannot believe that today is your due date!  I am in complete AWE that you are supposed to be in my arms today!  I am so ready to hold you and love you and cuddle you and take care of you!  I am also pretty ready to stop itching!  For the last 5 weeks we have been itching and itching...I'm sure you know...because I talk about it all the time!  But after lots of scratching, cold showers, and many a tear...you will be here soon!

I woke up this morning to some contractions from 2:22 to about 6:30...but then they went back to the Braxton Hicks contractions...but I am hoping and praying that when we go to the Dr. this afternoon that he will tell us fabulous news and we will have you soon!  But I am trying not to get my hopes up because I don't want to be let down again!

Or...maybe I will go into labor before the Dr.'s appointment and we won't have to worry about any of that!

Well I love you...more than you will ever know and I cannot wait to finally hold you...it really won't be long now!

Love,

Mommy :)

Sweet Gabriel

Good Morning my sweet Gabriel! Wow! How time has flown! You are due in 9 days. It has gone by so fast.

Your mom and dad are "nesting" They are cleaning, washing your clothes and packing! Your new bathroom is awesome! You will love it.

Yesterday when I took great grandmaw Ray to your house, your dad was putting in the first load of your clothes! They are so sweet working together to get all of your things just right for you. Friday they put the bassinet and bouncer together. It is just beautiful! We can't wait to see you in it!

We love you and can't hardly wait for you!

Love, Grandma Martin
