She still said no, well I took the day off anyway. In my life God is first, my family and friends second, and then my career.
You would have died laughing at me that day, mind you I am a student, not a nurse and I was following behind those RN nurses rechecking everything they were doing. I was counting the drips from the IV and everything.
Well after checking everything out for 10 hours and pacing the floor, my daughter had the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen. Type 1 diabetic moms have babies and they call them tomatoe face babies,
they are really red and have a round red face like a tomatoe, they had to watch Riley for low blood sugars
all day and was afraid she would have kidney problems and jaundice.
Well she was perfect as perfect as could be, a true miracle baby like her brother.
I am keeping them tomorrow night, so the parents can get ready for her big party, my daughter goes way out on these little parties. The theme will be "Red Carpet", and I have to help Riley get dressed and fix her
hair for the grand occassion.
Before Riley was born, us two grandmothers picked out our names, Mat' my SIL"s mother is called MeMe,. and my name was to be Mammaw, well you are called whatever the first grandchild calls you. I am just plain Maw, and I love it,
kinda reminds me of grannie Clampet on the Beverly Hillbillies, I love country and that suits me just fine. He He

Well "Maw", you do have a beautiful grand-daughter!! Happy birthday Riley!!
Isn't it funny how that first grandchild names us. I kept trying to get mine to say Grandma and she would just giggle and point to Hubby and say PaPa. Then one day she calls me Nana. And I love that so much more than Grandma. :-)
Have a great day!!
Hugs,
Lorna
What a beautiful blessing Riley is. Hope she has the best birthday ever!! Jan-Life on Buttermilk Hill
Such a cute post! Happy Birthday to your sweet little 7-year-old Riley!! I'm sure all the partiers will have a blast walking down that red carpet!
My grandmother was to be "Grandma." But at the time my brother (the first-born grand) started talking, my great-grandmother was still alive and she was "Grandma." So our grandmother became MeMa... he would not hear of calling two people "Grandma!!" I loved the special name we had for her...
Hope you all have a fun time at the birthday celebration!
Happy Birthday to Riley! Time does fly by fast doesn't it? My granddaughter will soon be 6 this summer and it seems like yesterday that we were at the hospital waiting on her arrival. She is the only grandchild we have and she couldn't say MAM MAW and so she started calling me MEEPS.
So I am Meeps and her other grandma is Nana. I just love that she created this name all by herself.
Have a great time at the party, don't forget to take your camera.

Country at heart

I'd have told that instructor where to go...and hit the dusty trail, lol!!! I had a nasty one too..my alternator gave out on my van on the way to clinicals one day. I had never missed a day of school up to that point. It was sub zero weather...and I was lucky enough to have it go out right by my aunt and uncles house. The instructor actually asked other students "if that could really happen!" I wanted to run her over with that old van, lol! I'm thinking a nice little smuck upside the head with a placenta would have been fitting for yours!!! Katie
