Ariana Marie Miller: January 4th, 2010
Said loud and proud: We have a healthy and beautiful little Grand Daughter!! The little precious one decided to step into the world just a wee but early (a couple of weeks or so) and for a second had us old Grandparents a little worried. We were hanging out at the Fiesta Bowl when we got the call that Momma Antoinette was at the Doctor for a regular baby visit and all of a sudden started going into labor and they were rushing her to the hospital. The scare came because while reception is excellent at the stadium, we couldn’t get a stinking dial tone on the cells because everyone was using all the AT&T bandwidth (I could fill a blog complaining about AT&T but this is about our little one…) to get any updates. Because our Grandson M3 was early and both he and momma had a little rough go, we were concerned for Antoinette and little Ariana. When we finally did get word (it was probably right away but sure seemed forever) that everyone was healthy and doing great and little Ariana was 6lb 10oz. well… let’s just say the tailgating got way more celebratory!
Now the only challenge will be hanging out until we get to see her and smother her with all those hugs kisses. Grandma may do more of the holding and smooching, but I will be there smelling her precious head and clicking away - the return of Grandpa Flash! We will likely wait about a month, we free up around then and that will both give Mom and Dad time to settle in and also allow us to go when we can hang out for a few weeks. The only other downside as I see it is this also gives Grandma many weekend shopping days before we go. So I guess I will have busy weekdays on the phone trying to round’ up another client or two because I think I have no real idea of how spoiled “Little A” is gonna’ be, and I will also be ordering more website bandwidth to handle all the upcoming pictures….
