11.11.11

I got a call last night that made me laugh -it's a full moon and my sisters water broke!
Of course it did - as a Labor Nurse, I always dread the full moon nights because we are WAY busy those nights! and I've been wondering all week if her water would break as 11/10/11 was a full moon. It did. I was very excited for them and headed off to Chatanooga to help out with the labor of my sister/soon-to-be-new mommy!
Labor is such an exciting time, but always a little scary when you know the details about labor that I know... In this case it turned out to be a marathon of ups and downs with my little nephew stressing me out most of the time! I tried hard not to be the "family nurse in the room", but I couldn't help myself sometimes....had to jump in there from time to time and keep the other nurses taking good care of Cheree & Jack!
Jack finally arrived at 4:41 pm on 11.11.11 - her due date which is one of the coolest things ever! Mom & Baby were doing good, so I headed home....only because Thanksgiving is coming and that means I get a few days to hold him and get to know him then!
I am way excited for them and of course was very happy to finally to meet my nephew Jack!

I am especially thrilled that Izzy now has a cousin, and it's pretty cool that my little man and Jack will be so close in age and will get to grow up playing together and hopefully be close like Cheree & I are!
Congratulations Cheree & Daniel! We are very happy for you!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
