OUR SWEET DAVEN


Daven decided he couldn't wait until next Tuesday, the 11th. We got the call at 2:30 AM yesterday morning that Bree's water had broken, so we scrambled around and loaded the car. Remember the scene in the movie HOME ALONE where everyone was rushing since they over slept and was needing to get to the airport? That's how we looked. You can only imagine how frantic we were. It's a 6 hour trip and we knew we weren't going to make it since Bree would have to have a c-section since he was breech. Oh, how I wanted to be there! Thank goodness MTee, Jay's mother was there and kept me sane (?) by giving me updates frequently. Jay's sister, Alice Chaney, is a nurse and was with Bree the whole time.

I found out Daven had arrived by getting a text with a first photo. I had to pull off at the next exit to show George (he was following me in his car since he will go home waaaaay before me) and to call MTee for details and to check on our girl. I was a crying mess....for joy and relief and frustration for not being there. We arrived 4 hours after his birth. He was born at 5:23 AM and
weighed 8.1 and is 19 inches of PERFECTION.

We are praising God from whom all blessings flow!

Thanks for all your sweet comments, messages and calls.



Hugs,
Kat

Oh, Hon!!! Your heart has been wrapped around that sweet boy since WAY before you knew he was coming!

And that Grandmother's Heart---it spans miles and leagues and fathoms deep, from then until forever.

Don't you worry about BEING there---you WERE.

Oh my sweet friend, Daven is absolutely perfect and adorable. I couldn't think he was cuter if he was my grandchild. He is such a testament to the power of prayer. Keep those pictures coming.

So sweet! So glad Daven and Bree are doing well, grandma needs to get a grip so she can enjoy the new baby too! Such a description of the trip, I laughed because someday that will be me! Hope everything is going smoothly now and the new family is all together enjoying the special delivery!

He is absolutely beautiful. I so look forward to reading your blog every single day and I was telling my husband last night that I feel I know you and that you are my friend. I recently was blessed with my first granchild, a grandson, and he weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19" also.

Thank you for sharing your life with us. May God richly bless the life of Daven and Bree and Jay as parents!
