Baby MADELINE!

Okay so this is Thanksgiving part 2 there are 3 parts to Thanksgiving.  Yes as all of you know Heather had her baby while we were in Utah for Thanksgiving and all of you should know that she was 6 weeks early.  Her baby was not due until January so it was quite an emotional roller coaster for me.

Jerry and I were supposed to leave for home the day after Thanksgiving until Celeste came to us and said " they asked me to speak next sunday in church"  and of course Jerry was not about to miss that! I was wanting to leave for home because I had so much going on!  I am the YW's president in my ward and had been planning for YW in Excellence for the past few months and knew I needed to get back for that.  But I gave in and realized they hey YW can wait after all its all planned out and I will be back in time for the event the following wednesday...... WRONG! Well we went to Celo's talk and were getting ready to pack up and leave for home. So I thought!  We received a phone call from Heather telling us that she was in labor and that she was dilated to 4 plus!  I was like WHAT???? NOOOO!  Oh my goodness I had so much emotion going on in my mind and heart!  I was worried about the baby I was worried about Heather and then I was thinking how in the world am i going to be able to do YW in Excellence from Utah!  NOT POSSIBLE!!!  SO i LET it go! I knew I needed to be there with my daughter DUHHHH!!!! I really was a wreck so worried but it was so awesome because Heavenly Father blessed me with comfort in knowing that sweet baby Madeline would be okay and that she would be healthy!.... and she was! It was such a tender mercy that we were able to be there for the birth. If Celeste had not been asked to speak we would have missed it!!!!  SO THANKFUL we could be there!  SUCH a TENDER MERCY!!!

Mother and baby are doing great!  Heather is home from the hospital, baby Madeline is still there but I heard just today that she may get to come home on Tuesday we shall see!  WHAT A GIFT AND BLESSING THIS BABY GIRL IS!!!! I have not gotten to hold her yet and I am now home from Utah but plan on join back next week! Just in time for me to help Heather a little.  While Heather was in the hospital Jerry and I were able to help get Heather and Nick somewhat organized.  We were able to purchase somethings she needed for when the they bring the baby home.  Heather was planning to get all of that done in the month of December after school was over! We were so happy to help her out!I needed to get home to get the house ready for Christmas and ready for my son to come home after being gone for 2 years.  I will leave next monday I think!

Anyway all  went well at home with the YW. We postponed YW in Excellence for some time in March.  I feel at peace about that.  All is well all is well!

I am one blessed momma and I love the fact that I am a first time GRANDMA!  I am so proud!  I am grateful for all that God has given me!  SO GRATEFUL!  I am already so in love with this baby! Cannot wait to hold and kiss her!  Madeline Jane Ferguson!  She is just PERFECT!!!

This is Jerry putting the swing together for baby Madeline!
