I'm an Aunt!!!

Well, today at 8:15a.m., I was awaken by a phone call. It was my brother, Jimbo, calling to tell me that Mary, his wife, had just given birth to a beautiful 5 pound 14oz baby boy. Jimbo said Baby H came out screaming and peeing--all over the nurse. I was so excited to get this great news. I got up and got dressed-David called me Aunt Roxy(which is also was my Great Aunt's name!) and I rushed to Babtist Hospital. Mary was still in recovery. My mom, dad, Megan-my sister, and Jimbo and myself went downstairs and ate breakfast. Then Jimbo went back upstairs to talk with the Dr. I went shopping with my parents and Megan. We went everywhere looking for something to hang on the hospital door. We couldn't find anything that would fit my brother's modern taste. So I told Mom I would make something. Although they have not picked out a name, I think they are leaning toward's Jack. We will have to wait and see. Baby H. will be in NICU for a couple of weeks. His oxygen level started out at 100% and when I left the hospital around 6:45, it was at 75%-that is good news. This means Baby H. is gradually learning to breathe on his own. I will not get to see him for a little while but the it will be worth the wait. I can't wait to see my new little newphew. I am so excited. I will post pictures as soon as my brother sends them to me. We are so blessed to have Baby H. in our lives. After Jimbo and Mary lost Baby Kate, they knew the Lord would bless them again-
Baby Kate is now a big sister. She will take care of her little brother from above. We will all be praying for our new bundle of joy.
