WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!! :)

WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL THIS MORNING FROM JARED ABOUT 10:20 TELLING US THAT THEY WERE AT;

HOLLIE HAD BEEN FEELING EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE ALL DAY SATURDAY, AND SHE WOKE UP FEELING THE SAME SUNDAY MORNING. SO JARED SAID HE WANTED TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL AND JUST HAVE THEM CHECK HER. GOOD THING THEY DID! THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO DO AN EMERGENCY C-SECTION, BECAUSE THE BABY WAS NOT GOING TO WAIT. HIS DUE DATE WAS NOT UNTIL OCTOBER 27, HOLLIE WAS SCHEDULED FOR A C-SECTION ON OCTOBER 17. SO WE WERE A BIT SHOCKED AND CAUGHT OFF GUARD, HOWEVER, TODAY WAS THE DAY! SO WE THREW A FEW CLOTHES IN THE TRUCK AND HEADED FOR THE HOSPITAL. (A FOUR HOUR DRIVE FROM US) MAN IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER. JARED CALLED US ABOUT 12:00 O'CLOCK TO LET US KNOW EVERYTHING WENT GOOD, AND THEY WERE GOING TO BE TAKING THEM TO THEIR ROOM SOON. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL, WE WERE GREETED BY AN EXCITED BIG SISTER ADDISON, WHO WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE US, WE HEARD A LOUD AND CLEAR "HI BAPA" FROM DOWN THE HALL, THEN WE GOT A BIG HUG AND KISS, SHE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART. WE THEN WENT STRAIGHT TO HOLLIE'S ROOM TO CHECK ON HER AND SEE OUR NEW GRANDSON!!!
