I had the extreme joy and privilege of being around within the hour of Layla Rae Rucinskis's birth at Hinsdale Hospital yesterday afternoon! I received a phone call to my office that delivery was eminant so I picked up Brett and off we went.
Kathe and Emily were present during the birth as was Norb of course. At first we were only allowed to stand outside while things were being prepped for mommy and baby. Norb came out to greet us and talked about how he was doing and then OMG we got to finally see her and what a sight to see the exhausted parents so thrilled about their new daughter....who is simply beautiful. Her long black hair was in little ringlets on her head and she was quite dark pink. She has long eyelashes and long elegant fingers and bone structure but is only 5 and some pounds. She has a sweet little personality and is quite quiet and was able to nurse right away with her adorable little mouth and big lips. Emily and Kathe were in an altered state after being part of the birth. Brett was puffed up about his new role as Uncle and he was smiling from ear to ear.
Within hours, Grandma Rucinski showed up with Norb's bro Wren. Emily and I got to see her get her hair dried and brushed and cleaned up in the nursery as he examination was completed.
She had a great birth and appears in top health. She even got her first adjustment as I was able to palpate her little thoracic and lumbar spine and soon I will recheck her and her little neck bones. Remember the journey she had undertook was full of high pressure, twists and turns and it is good to optimize her nerves right way.
Last night, when we left mother father and Layla were doing great. We look forward to seeing her again very soon. God IS Good!! Love P
Kathe is so high! She soooo loved hearing from everyone on the Facebook and what a great family occasion that is right now. Mary Jo and Pat will meet us for breakfast this am.. we cannot wait. Roseanne has been recovering for weeks now from a horrific bronchial situation so has not really been able to participate but she is looking forward to seeing Layla soon too!
Peg, thanks for sharing the delivery pics of precious Layla Rucinski. Its time to update them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, everyone who has Kellene Fuguson's facebook, can see the lovely pic of her family. Wonderful. Now is it possible to post family pics of any of the relatives on this blog? It would be nice to keep them that way.
Peg, how are you and your business doing these days??
Ive been seeing a physical therapist for a inflamed rotator cuff, for a couple of weeks and the doc thinks now it may be a torn tendon. So next week an MRI will tell.
Sure does cramp my style, since I have a cement job project waiting out front around my birdbath and hedges to be clipped, but the right arm can barely drive the car.
Has anyone heard how Mike and Nancy are doing? I sure think of them alot and keep them in prayer. And any news on Bob? I also keep them in prayer. Also wish Ed and Linda would report in on this blog. I miss everyone.
