I may be working on projects other than what I had planned to be working on because a special little bundle arrived very early this morning! Meet Adalina Mae. Who would have thought my first grandbaby would be named after a George Strait song? Moms . . don’t listen to too much country music while your children are growing up . . they may name their babies after those songs!
This is the only picture they’ve sent me and . . well, at least it’s a good shot of her right foot! 🙂 She weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces so for Nicole’s size, she’s a big baby. She wasn’t due til August 15 and I had talked to them yesterday and Nicole was feeling fine. Chad said that about 11:30, she started having pains and he wanted to go to the hospital but Nicole said she thought it would stop. They finally went to the hospital about 1:30 and she was born a little after 4.
I do believe last night was the first time in my life that I haven’t had my cell phone under my pillow when I’m sleeping. That doesn’t mean I always hear it because I’m such a sound sleeper. Speck wasn’t feeling well and we were outside about 4:15 a.m. I walked in the house and I thought it was Vince’s cell phone ringing and I hollered to wake him up (like he had slept through Speck waking me up to take him out, me taking him out, the outside lights waking up Otis who crows non-stop from the minute he thinks he sees daylight, til about midnight). Vince said “It’s YOUR phone and you’ve already gotten a text. I’m sure it’s Sarah!” Sarah is my friend since first grade who likes to talk late at night.
I had to find my phone and when I looked at it, this is the picture I saw! I called Chad right back and got the scoop.
So, I’m officially a grandma and I must get a quilt or two quilted so I can make a trip to MO and take at least one baby quilt for the most beautiful and smartest grandbaby in the world! 🙂

True to her roots. 🙂
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
Sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
You’re every young man’s dream
Adalida, I’d walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you sweet Adalida
I’d swim the Pontchartrain
Oh no, here you comin’ down the road
With your cotton dress a swishin’, you gettin’ some attention
From all the boys in the Thibodaux
Oh my your really feelin’ up their eyes
Smilin’ and a winkin’, I know what they’re thinkin’
But I’m the only one who loves you so!
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
Sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
You’re every young man’s dream
Adalida, I’d walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you sweet Adalida
I’d swim the Pontchartrain
Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know you can tell it, you makin’ me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me you could make a redneck green
The way that you’re a lookin’, you got me cookin’
And I ain’t talkin’ ’bout Etoufee’
Mary in VA says
Congratulations – she’s precious and beautiful! What a great reason for a phone call in the middle of the night. And yes, she absolutely must have a quilt of her very own. And booties that Grandma knitted and (the list just goes on)…

Peg says
Congratulations to Grandma/pa and the new parents. Believe me there’s nothing like being a Grammie. I wept both times uncontrollably when mine were born. Somehow I don’t remember loving my own kids as much as I love the grandbabies.

Congratulations! She looks perfect! What a beautiful name, too. Seems that the trend nowadays is to choose a unique name.
My daughter’s best friend and her husband named their son Granger. My young great-niece’s name is Acadia. I love both of these names. I think it’s great that there won’t be six other children in a classroom with the same overly popular name. Just hope no parents choose the name “Snooky.” Ugh!
