Our granddaughter decided to come out and explore the world 5 weeks earlier than expected. DD texted me Sunday evening from work at about 9:30 pm said she was in pain, so her supervisor put her in a wheelchair and took her down to the ER. By the time she checked into the ER she was already dilated 10cm :o so it was too late for her to go to the hospital where she was scheduled to give birth which was like 30 miles away, so they send a NICU team of 4 from another hospital which was about 10 miles away to take delivery of her baby, b/c the hospital where she works no longer have labor and delivery.

She was in labor for only 3 hrs. She gave birth to a small but very healthy 4lb 12oz 17" baby girl on July 22 at 12:30 am. Immediately after birth mommy and baby was transferred in an ambulance along with the NICU team back to their hospital. Baby is breathing on her own w/o any assistance from medical devices. :appl:

Here's proud grandma with our new D FL granddaughter.
