My First Grandbaby...Ava Marie Kailani Serra!!!

My oldest, Adam, called me 2:30 am Aug. 2 to tell me his daughter was born...It was a hard long labor.   Alicia was two weeks overdue, had to be induced...after a day they gave her a spinal so she could rest and the contractions became ineffective.  When I went to bed they still thought they could deliver naturally and she was dialating but ended up with a C-section.  AND that baby was 9.4 1/2 lbs!  We are just happy that mother and baby are fine!  Drama from afar!  Safely delivered!!



Alicia and Ava









Welcome to the world, Ava!  I wish I could hug you!

  5. Congrats! She's beautiful.
    Strange thing, my niece Alicia just had her first, a girl, 9 lbs something (not sure - haven't gotten official word yet) and was induced yesterday after being a week late.

  7. Omigosh, being a grandparent is the best thing ever. You will get those hugs. My 4th is 6+ hours away. Kills me. Don't forget to set up skype. She can hear your voice & get to know you. After a little older they would set laptop by him & let me watch him play. He would hold things up to show me. What fun. And take the laptop to the table when they are older. They love to talk while they are eating a meal!! Congratulations
