Charlotte

Well this has been a long week. I haven't seen or talked to Jeff in days. We had a falling out over some things I said. Of course, now I look back and regret ever saying them. I just wanted to see my granddaughter more and Jeff and Katie were acting like I was bugging them too much, so I decided to back off. Well I apologized and asked him to forgive me, but apparently he is still hurt and angry with me, because I haven't heard back from him. I invited him to breakfast this morning, but he hasn't answered me back.
On a positive note, Katie sent me a few pictures of Charlotte last night and she is just adorable. I can't wait to spend time with her and do special things with her. Another positive note is that my sister, Julie, is pregnant. We are so excited, but at the same time we are worried about her age and all the worries that come with that. I guess that's all the news I have for now.

Sorry to say...

Hello all,
Sorry to say, but Katie and Jeff have requested that no pictures of Charlotte be posted on the internet. I will try my best to send some by snail mail or maybe email.

Visit with Charlotte

Hello all,
I finally got to visit with Charlotte yesterday afternoon. It was a very long 13 days. She slept for most of the time I was holding her. She likes to cuddle up real close to the person holding her. She has a ton of hair. I'm sure they could already put a barrette in it and it would stay. It is the same color as Jeff's hair. She also still has those beautiful long eyelashes. She hasn't gotten a whole lot bigger, but she is just as beautiful as ever. She goes back to the doctor on Wednesday, so then we'll see just how big she's gotten. She is a good eater, that's for sure. Jeff and Katie said that she is already pushing to eat 4 oz at a feeding. They just changed her bottle to the playtex drop-ins to hopefully help with her gas. Uncle Kenny and Aunt Becky just sent her a bunch of stuff, so I need to drop that off to them. I'm sure Katie and Jeff will appreciate it. She also got to visit with Grandpa, Jeff's dad, over the weekend and I understand they enjoyed the visit. Well, that's the baby update for the week. More to follow I'm sure.

My Beautiful Granddaughter

Hi all,
Sorry it's taken so long to get a new post on here. I've been real busy with my new job. I created this blog so that I could keep friends and family updated on news of the baby. Well, here it is. She has finally arrived. Introducing Charlotte Rain Beck. She came into this world on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008 at 1:48 in the afternoon. She was a big girl weighing in at 8 lbs 7 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. I am so excited. My first words to her were "We are going to have so much fun!" I am trying to be mature and let Jeff and Katie have their space, but it has been so hard. I finally get to see her today. I've looked forward to this day all week. I can't wait until she is old enough for me to babysit. More to come soon.
