Wee Baby Rucker

Wee Baby Rucker was FINALLY born today! 8lbs 1oz and 20 inches, lots of hair and strong lungs.


Here she is! Isla Rucker (pronounced Eye La). After many long months of waiting (I think about 9), she finally made it! It had been quite a long week before her birth, as Madison and Jake had gone to the hospital a couple times, only to be send home empty handed.... so to speak. I guess she just wanted to wait until GmaZ arrived down there to be on hand for her grand entrance into the world.



You see, Brenda was ready to leave at a moment's notice, driving to AZ. So when she got the call yesterday that Madison and Jake were heading to the hospital, she took off like a bat out of el infierno. Then, later that day they called and said they were sent home for lack of progress- again! Brenda, by this time, was in Las Vegas. But, she kept on going anyway. Neither sleet nor rain (or lack of progress), shall stay the determined grandma from her quest. She arrived, to see a very frustrated mother and father-to-be.



But, early in the AM the next day, about 1:30 if my eyes were working correctly, I started getting texts that they were on the way to the hospital... again. So, for the next couple hours and texts, there was little sleep- but that was OK, cause this time, they weren't coming home empty handed!



So, after about 12 hours to good labor (?),... welcome to the world, little Isla... our leetle island of peace, love and joy amidst this stormy sea of chaos. We love you!
