Entry: I am a new grandpa Thursday, October 29, 2009



Tonight, or should I say this morning I am a grandpa.  Kevin Randy Morales was born right after midnight tonight and weighed 8 Lbs, 6 Ounces.  Judy went in last night at 8 PM.  They were going to induce labor.  I hung around until I found out that they were not going to start until about 10:30 PM and visiting hours for grandparents is from 9 AM to 9 PM each day.  So I came home and slept down stairs so I would hear the phone if they called.

This morning I went ahead and bought some breakfast for Carlos and got there at 9 AM.  They still had not induced labor as every time she had a contraction his heart rate would slow.  About 1 PM he sort of got the hang of things and so about 2:30 the gave here the shot to induce labor.

Kevin did not want to cooperate and so they had to give her another shot to slow down the labor.I stayed until about 7 PM and by then my back was giving me fits.  Also I started falling asleep as i did not sleep well yesterday.  Rose was there and we were really hoping the baby would be born on the 28th which is Rose's 50th birthday.

Anyway since they were not expecting her to go in to labor and since i was going to have to leave at 9 I left about 7;30 and headed home.  I immediately put my back massage thing on and massaged my lower back and legs and fell asleep on the couch.  I was talking to Laila as I was catnapping and was waiting for Judy or Carlos to call.

About 11 PM Judy called to say they were going to try and induce again and then she called back about 11:30 to say that Kevin was not cooperating again.  At 11:45 or so she called to say they were going to do a c-section and I told her i would head for the hospital.  She told me to stay home as they would only let Carlos be there as he is the father.

At 12:25 Carlos called and said the baby was born and Judy and the baby are fine.  So now I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow morning at 9 to get some pictures and see who I get to bring home, as well as finding out when judy and Kevin can come home.

I am glad it is all over and now I am looking forward to them all getting back to the house, though i am not looking forward to the loss of sleep i will be getting as my room is next to theirs.

I would like to thank God for looking after them and keeping them safe and I am looking forward to being an active grandfather.  I will try and post some pictures tomorrow.
