Flashback!

It has been four months since my last post. Changing diapers? 92 a week. Formula - make that 3 "tall" cans of Gerber Good Start a week. Sleepless nights...almost...and truthfully, the sweetest days and nights of a lifetime. So small in size yet so large in emotion. Ada (Baby A) and Dottie (Baby B) entered this world on October 18, 2010 just before 6 in the afternoon. I (GiGi) was driving cautiously and deliberately straight to Kennestone to greet them...I hoped to see Amy before the surgery...but didn't quite make it. Laura called me on Barrett Parkway to say...Mama, I just saw pictures! I cried. Ricky was on the east coast...trucking back towards Albany when we got the call. He insisted that I go on. I did. He arrived much later that night around 11 or so...and oh! What a proud PaPa he was! What a relief it was to see Amy with my own two eyes and know she was okay and then to hold those 2 precious little ones. I thought my heart would burst! I called family on my way up. Bubba and Karen who were in Florida and would not be there when I got to the hospital. Shirley. Uncle Bill. But...who I really wanted ...really really wanted to talk to was my Mama. In Uncle Bill's words...now Dot would have really loved this...two little girls! This is what I know. When my heart was was so broken that I didn't know what I was gonna do...Mama kissed those little spirits and just sent them right on down to us...she did.
