On Thursday, May 31st, Baby Grace met her Nana and Pop-Pop for the first time. It was a special moment for us all. Martin and I were so excited as we awaited their arrival. All morning, we kept telling Grace about her grandparents - both her maternal grandparents that live in Texas and her paternal grandparents that live in Ireland (she'll meet her Irish grandparents in August!). We've been so anxious for Grace to meet these important people in her life.
Grace's introduction to her Nana & Pop-Pop is a moment I'll never forget. All of us were glowing! There was so much pride in our living room :) It's wonderful having them here...truly a special time for all of us.
Where have Nana and Pop-Pop been the first 6 days of Grace's life? They planned a week-long trip to Phoenix, figuring they had plenty of time until Grace's due date, and arrived in Phoenix on Friday morning. Martin & my brother, Billy, also were heading to Phoenix on Saturday morning. We were all a bit nervous that I would go into labor while they were all gone, but it was more of a joke than something any of us took seriously. Nevertheless, after my doctor's appointment on Monday, we all breathed easier when the doctor assured me that the baby wouldn't arrive until June. Oops, she was wrong! Baby Grace had a plan of her own.
It was a tough phone call on Friday evening when Martin called my parents to tell them I was in labor. They just didn't want to believe it. They ended up cutting their trip short to get home to meet their granddaughter. And now all is well...they are in grandparent heaven!
