more Cate to love

I got to visit this little angel again today!  And I took some better pics this time. Still forgot my camera, but at least the ones I got on my phone were better than the dark ones I took last night.  My mom was with me, and we were the only visitors at the time so we got lots of Cate loving :)  And Evey was loving showing off her baby sister to us.  She was very particular about taking care of Cate. haha, thanks for the help Evey ;)

She's finally here!!! And she's beeeautiful! And has so much hair!! And the 15 mins I got to hold her just wasn't enough!!! hehe

Catherine Lee

born 1:38pm

7 lbs. 10 oz.

21 inches long

She came while I was at work today.  I got a text message from my mother-in-law that said "7 lbs. 10 oz perfect."  When I finally got off of work at 5pm (crazy day), I headed straight to Brookwood and met up with Greg. By the time we found Jordan's room (Brookwood hospital has the worst signs for direction), all the visitors were just about to leave.  But as soon as we got into the room Evey said "look! look! here's the baby! Do you want to hold her?"  lol.  OH, DID I!  Luckily, everyone else already had their turn so I got to hold her immediately.  She is a doll! And according to everyone, she looks just like Evey as a baby.  Bennett better watch out! He's gonna have a sister-twin team to grow up with I'm sure.  Cate will be Evey's little buddy :)  And speaking of Bennett.  Jordan said he is obsessed with Cate!! haha. He just kept stroking her hair, and begging to hold her and didn't make a fuss about Jordan holding her (have I mentioned what a mama's boy he is).  Let's hope that all continues once Cate is home!  How cute is this...

Can't wait to see that pretty little face again!  Man, when we start adding grandbabies to the Graves side of the family, it's gonna be crazy.  I can't imagine how much I'm gonna love my sisters' babies!! :) :) :)

Congrats Jordan and Eric!  So happy for you both!!

another niece on the way!

It's time, it's time!  Baby Cate is finally going to make her arrival tomorrow!! I'm so excited to meet her!!!!  My dear sister-in-law's due date was February 21.  A whopping 8 days ago.  Since she had a c-section with her first child, her doctors have been trying to avoid inducing her.  But after no progress this week, she finally got admitted this evening and is having a balloon procedure done overnight and then the plan is to induce her in the morning.

I had to work all last weekend, and although I'm anxious to meet my newest niece, I was afraid she would come over the weekend when I'd be stuck at work.  Well, I'm scheduled to work tomorrow also but thanks to a dear fellow nurse, I will get to leave at 4pm.  Thank you so much Sara!!  So I'm hoping to hop over to Brookwood when I get off work and hang out in the waiting room with the rest of the Boggs crew.

I can't believe she's finally going to be here!  We've all been so curious what she's going to look like.  Evey (our first niece) is a miniature version of her mama, and Bennett (our nephew) is a spitting image of his daddy. So, who will baby #3 look like!? :)

So, in honor of welcoming Cate to the world, let's take a walk down memory lane with Evey and Bennett :)

Now I didn't meet Greg until January 2010, so Evey was already 2 years old when I met her. But here's some baby Evelyn Grace (Jordan, I snagged all these from your facebook, hope that's ok!)

 

then along came Bennett Callaway...

 

We are all ready for you Cate! See you tomorrow :)
