Thanksgiving done and gone.

Gosh, Thanksgiving week went by so fast.  My dad or Grandpa McKee and Grandma Roberta were here for about 3 days.  We had a nice meal.  We went to the park and Kohl's on Friday.  Koty should off his moves at the skate park and Courtney looked for some jeans at Kohl's.  Shelby and Lacey fed the geese and play on the playground equipment.  It was a nice time.
Saturday we did nothing.  Sunday we did nothing.  It was fun to do nothing.  We thought about digging out the Christmas stuff but haven't yet.  I did get all the fall stuff put away.
I worked some today then went to lunch with Larry.  Today he found out that he has to go to Wyoming next week for work.  He gets to come home on the 14th I guess.
I've started reading Twilight.  Not sure if I like it yet but Kristin says it's a great book.  I'm still not done with Averie's crocheted blanket.  Work on it a little everyday.  I need to get it done before it's summer time and she doesn't need it.

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Grandpa Smith came up.  Grandpa McKee and Roberta came out from Illinois.  Courtney's boyfriend, Dwayne, came over.  It was uneventful.  Larry fried the turkey.  I cooked the potatoes, stuffing, corn and rolls.  It wasn't even rushed cause we had everything ready ahead of time.

The arrival of our first granddaughter

This week has been a whirlwind.  Averie Marie Watson was born November 12, 2009 at 6:43 pm.  She was 8lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long.  Courtney arrived at the hospital at 7:40 am.  She was dialated to a 2.  They started pitosun which starts labor.  Soon she was having alot of contractions.  They broke her water and went from a 2.5 to 8 in an hour. By 3pm she was pushing.   She pushed for 3 hours and finally the doctor said she would try using a vaccuum (which is like a little suction cup) to help pull the baby out.  The doctor discovered that the baby was face up and that is why Courtney was having a hard time pushing her out.  Luckily the vaccuum worked and out came Averie.  She was a perfect but big baby.  Averie had a slight temperature but after getting a good rub down under the warming lights it dropped to normal.  She had an APGAR of 9 which is awesome.  I got to take Averie to the nursery for her first bath.  She didn't like that very well.  By 10pm baby and new mommy was in their new room where they would be for the next 3 days.  They thought they would get to go home on Saturday but Averie became a little jaundice so the doctor said she had to stay an extra day.  She spent all night until the bili-lite.  Sunday she was better and they were released.  It's been a week now and everyone is settling in nicely.  Averie is a very good baby.  She is alert and likes to look around.  She doesn't sleep constantly.  She is perfect.  I love spending grandma time with her.
