Then Came April...

Life is about to speed up 10 fold. Jocelyn is not due for another 4 weeks. She has exactly 4 more weeks of nursing school left. She has just seen her OB doc who tells her everything looks good and there is no good reason why she won't make it to her due date. Of course it is unusual for moms to ask to make it to their due date. Ususally they are requesting to deliver early. Not this time. Jocelyn has Emma planned almost to the day. School ends on the 5th and Emma is due on the 6th and graduation is on the 7th. Tight squeeze but it can be done. Unless of course Little Emma Kate decides to exercise her independence 4 weeks early! Jocelyn misses just under a week of school. She graduates with the LPN on May 7th 2010 with little Emma Kate present to watch her momma. Going to show that children and life are never predictable, but enjoyable all the same! We are so happy to have her a part of our life even if she did arrive a bit early. So grateful the Lord sent her healthy. So blessed to have such a sweet spirit to bless our lives as grandparents.

Grandpa Wayne and Little Emma Kate

Aunt Karie and Uncle Tyler were quick to the hospital to meet their new neice.
Grandma Shel - I can hardly contain the excitement of being grandma again! Even more thrilled that although she arrived 4 weeks early, she is healthy and mom did beautifully!

This was actually taken 2 days before little Emma made her debut. Jocelyn is 35 4/7. Also in the pic are my darling little Sydnee K and Savannah banana. Easter day 2010.
