Two of my best friends had their baby today!

Baby Logan James was born today, and I''m just too excited for the mommy and daddy, two of my closest friends. The mommy is diabetic and had a really rough pregnancy (she''s been on bed rest for the past several months). The daddy''s mother also has cancer and didn''t think she''d ever make it long enough to see the birth of her first grandchild. Watching the proud daddy and his mother crying and telling each other how much they loved each other through the nursery window glass was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The baby''s a little over 8 pounds (GREAT for the baby of a diabetic mom since they were afraid of him having a low birth weight!), and he has these huge chubby cheeks and chin! Just had to share!

What a blessing! And for grandmother to be there to see her grandson; that''s medicine that no Dr. could provide!!

What sweet news.

This really made my night! My cousin, who I love so much, is also a diabetic (on insulin) and she is 7 1/2 months pregnant with her first! Hers is a very high risk pregnancy--my whole family is just praying that everything goes smoothly in these last couple of months (fingers crossed!).

This really helped to ease my fears, so thank you! And congrats to you and your dear friends (and that new precious baby!).

bia, i''m so glad hearing about my friend''s situation gave you some peace of mind! L''s was really high-risk. she started having contractions at only five months along, sometimes as frequent as three minutes apart. the doctors made her wait until two weeks after her original due date so that the baby''s lungs would be fully developed because that seems to be one of the biggest concerns when the mother is diabetic, but he''s a big, healthy, screamer, haha! as long as your cousin takes good care of herself and monitors her diabetes well, she and baby will be a-okay. she''s getting close--how exciting!

Congratulations to the new parents! I''m glad the baby arrived safe and sound, and it warms my heart to know that his grandmother was able to meet him.
