New arrival....

Hello all,
Before I show you my entry for the Less is More challenge I would just like to tell you about the roller coaster of a week I've had.  Not only have we been on baby watch but our youngest daughter has moved out to live with her partner.  Despite her not being here much for the last 2-3 months it is still a horrible feeling to know she's flown the nest...lol.  Then of course we had baby watch, well Wednesday came and went and nothing.  On Thursday morning Nikki rang me at half  6 to say she thought her labour had started as she'd been having pains since 3am.   We kept in touch all day and nothing seemed to be happening.  At 8 pm'ish we got a call from Lee asking us to go over as Nikki was getting aggitated, which we did.  We finally left at 11pm and had just finished having something to eat when we got another call saying her waters had broken and could we take her to the hospital!!!!

Well, I don't think Dean's drove so fast...lol  We arrived at the hospital at 12midnight and they said she would take another 7-8 hours to deliver so we got sent home at 1am.  We finally got to bed about 2 but neither of us slept and Dean then got a phone call form Lee at 5.40am to say that our grandchild had been born and both mummy and baby were doing well.  He didn't tell us the sex so we were still none the wiser on what we had.  When we got to the hospital at 8.30 to pick them up, ( I know released after giving birth 3 hours earlier !!!!!) we were very very pleased to discover that we had a gorgeous grandson called Leo Thomas, he weighed in at 8lb 6ozs and was born at 5.19am.  Here is a picture of the little man.....



I'm sure you will agree he's adorable?   Right then onto my entry for the challenge which this week is Button or Ribbon.

I've used my big shot to cut the daisy flowers out in Early Espresso, Regal Rose and Daffodil Delight and the button is from the subtles collection. The ribbon is Daffodil Delight and the sentiment is from Fresh Cuts stamp set.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I'm sorry its such a long post but wanted to share my wonderful news with you all.

Hugs
Tracy -x-

    Fab card Tracy, but outshone by Leo I'm afraid. What a cutie! So very pleased for all of you. What a week, but the tension was obviously worth it. Big congrats to all and hope Mum and baby continue to thrive. Hugs Zx
