The queen is struttin' - 10/07/04 12:23 AM

Our Queen Jawjaw is dancing on cloud nine. [Big Grin]

Her son and daughter-in-law gave birth to baby girl Lea today at 2:06p.m. She weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces! She's healthy and precious with a head full of dark hair. She's the cutest one in the nursery. [Wink] Guess who said that?

The queen is in her glory and is stayin' at the hospital until they kick her out.

I'm sure she'll have stories to tell!

Another boomer becomes a grandma! [Big Grin]

Congrats to you, JJ and family!!!

I am sorry, J, but THEY NAMED THEIR BABY AFTER ME!!!! [Razz] [Wink] [Big Grin]

My name is Linda Lea (pronounced Lee) which means "beautiful meadow". So, little Lea's name means meadow.
I am so excited for you! Fun! Fun! Fun! Give that baby girl a snuggle from me!

I didn't know our children were having babys so close together. I spent the day with a very pregnant, uncomfortable daughter having tons of Braxton Hicks contractions all day long. She is due in November, but it sure seems like any day now!

Again, CONGRATULATIONS! OH HAPPY DAY!!!
PS What is Lea's middle name?

There are many words to describe what you must be feeling Grandma but they escape me at the moment. I am so very happy for you and the babies parents. No child could ask for or have a better, more generous and loving grandmother that little Lea has. [Wink] Congradulations! [Wink] [Big Grin]

Yuhoooooooooooooooooo.....

Big Mama here. Well ladies, I can only say that I thought I knew love. Honey...you don't know pure love till you hold your first grandchild. I don't think I will ever be off this cloud.

Lea (pronounced Leah) is beautiful!!!! Course all new babies either look like China-men when first born, or a Conehead from Saturday Night Live. But give them a few hours and viola! She has jet black hair, a tiny yellow bow in her hair (how cute is that?) and of course loves her Big Mama (that's me).

She weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and has a beautiful little cry when she wants to eat. Or you know...bet she is just wanting me now that I think about it...hm...maybe I should leave and go back over to the hospital. I bet she's wanting her Mammaw...

Thanks for all of the kind wishes and blessings girls. My priceless moment came when my son held her for the first time. The sight of him smiling, full of joy, looking down at his daughter so full of love for her...well, that my friends was worth all the gold on earth. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

JJ - A.K.A. Big Mama
