First time Grandma!!!

Now that my daughter has officially announced, I can too. I am now a grandma! It was such an honor to be there for the birth of my first grandchild, Melanie Lynne. Adrienne never ceases to amaze me with her strength and grace. And Jon was so loving and encouraging to her. I wondered if it would be hard to become a grandparent without my husband, but all I have felt today is peace. I am so grateful for my growing family and the close relationship I have with each of them. Melanie Lynne, born at 2:17, 8 lbs 1oz and 20 inches long.
