Happy Birthday Grandma B

Week 6 versus Week 1... What a difference!

Evan and Grandma B had lots of time to get to know each other during the first six weeks of his life. When mom was coming to see me at the hospital the night I went into labour, she tripped on a speed bump in the hospital parking lot and broke her hand. This happened at around 3 am and she never said a word about it to anyone until well after Evan was born. She stopped into emergency and got x-rays on the way out the next day. What a woman! We were so lucky to have her off work for 6 weeks because she would come over to spend the night once a week. She would bring fresh flowers, sweets, gifts for the baby, she cleaned up and cooked us dinner each time. Then, she would stay up all night and bottle feed Evan so that I could catch up on my sleep. I am so fortunate to have had her help during that adjustment period. Although it's a shame she had to break her hand, I think we all agree the timing couldn't have been more perfect.
