The New Kid In Town

Today has already been quite the trip. I ventured out to BSA with my friend Dianne and Caroline and Christian in tow. We arrived at the hospital, but to our surprise, there was quite the upset going on. There were MULTIPLE hospital personnel in the entrance and posted at every elevator. I had one of them greet me as I came through the sliding doors, and she informed me that they were under a Code Grey, which meant the power was out to the building and they were operating on generators. The elevators were not to be used, and no one was allowed to visit patients. She told us to go to the new cafeteria and wait. The new wing of the hospital is SO NICE, and the cafeteria is amazing. Dianne, the kids, and I had a snack while we waited--not so patiently might I add. About 30 minutes later, we decided to try to use an elevator. At this point, no one was guarding them, so we went up to the Labor & Delivery floor and found Tina's room. She is doing great, and her precious boy is beautiful!! I only got to hold him for a few minutes, because Caroline screamed her head off out of jealousy. Gee, imagine that! LOL We got to talk to Tina for a bit, and they won't be releasing her until Friday or Saturday--she didn't elaborate on it, and the nurse walked in and whisked the baby away at that point. I did however manage to get a picture with John Randall. He is such a cuddle bunny, and has the fattest cheeks I have ever seen on a newborn. Tina told us that all of the nurses on the floor have come in to see him. Also, his pediatrician (Dr. Young--our pediatrician as well) was bragging about John outweighing all of the babies and "showin' them how it's done." :) I wish Tina and John a speedy return home!
Note: As I was leaving the hospital, they were still without their main power. A camera crew from a local news station was posted nearby doing noon coverage of the situation. SO WEIRD!!
Isn't John a doll!?! Notice the nice drool marks all over my shirt--thanks Caroline! lol
