I'm a Grandma!

Hi all -

My granddaughter, Madisen, was born yesterday at 1:38 pm weighing 8 lbs 11 oz and was 21 1/2" long. She scared us all; her heart rate dropped dramatically and they had to do an emergency c section. The cord was very much wrapped around her shoulder/neck. The doctor said the head wasn't in the correct position either and little Madisen was telling us that she wasn't going to make it out on her own.

she is so cute; I will post pictures when I get back home; had to come to work for a couple hours today.

Oh, GREAT news, specially considering her entry to our world.

But I am glad, Madison is fine.

That sounds like its off to a good start. Its a really pretty rose. I wish you luck with the blackspot. I use the Bayer Advanced Disease for blackspot and it works great. I am not the best to spray regularly like I should and I still get some blackspot but i'm sure nothing like what I would if I didn't use it. If you would like to spray its worth giving it a try. Good luck and please post us a picture when you get a bunch of blooms. Take care, Judy

Hi lydia, I know this is kind of an old post, but maybe by now they have grown again and become jungle like. I would be interested in any of them except the pubicalyx which I have, but I'm especially interested in meliflua and diversifolia. I have tons of beads and old jewlery. I also have a 12 yr old daughter that may be happy to part with some of her "little girl stuff" LMK if your still interested in trading. I'll also include a link to my hoyas in case your interested. Thanks, Catrina Here is a link that might be useful: my hoyas

Garden update

TouCan2, Nice looking plants. Although I've gardened more years than I can remember this is my first year for rasied beds also. The reason I made it was because black walnut roots had migrated into that area and was making it hard to grow anything there. So far the results have been great. I used a raised bed mix from Soil Mender. It retains moisture well but also drains well. It is next to the eaves of the garage so drainage was important. My plants here usually don't get as big as they do elsewhere. And that is for several reasons. The weather conditions here are so severe that if a plant is in the open and carrying a fruit load their size is limited by the environment. Where plants have windbreaks(trees, buildings, ect) they will get taller and also in the milder years. If I put shade cloth over the top it helps also. I read a post in the Soil Mender site about a man in the Tulia, TX area who grows his garden under 10-20% shade cloth. Mine most years is in the open with some minor wind protection and it fends for itself. I fertilize with the intent of growing a large root structure more than foliage and plant size. The root structure is all that kept many of my plants going during the last heat spell. Celebrity hasn't done much this year. I remember now why I quit growing it several years ago. Arkansas Marvel is the only plant I haven't picked a fruit from and may not. The hail hit it hard. Not only did it beat it up it stressed the plant and it aborted all blooms and took a couple of weeks to even start recovering. It has one small fruit that I doubt has time to mature. All of the plants I planted in July have fruit and have either produced or will have ripe fruit soon. This is a typical year in that the plants planted after Memorial Day have out performed those planted in late April and early May. Jay

I wish all of my grandchildren could be close. My only other granddaughter lives in Galveston, Tx. That's where my son and family live. That's about a 3 hr. drive from our house. Maybe a little further. Between dh and I we have six children. He has 2 boys and a girl and I have 2 girls and a boy. In all we have 9 grandchildren. My two older grandsons are grown. One just graduated college and is coaching high school football. The other is in his first yr. of college. I go to a lot of football games. *G* It's so nice to be retired and have more time to spend with the grandkids. I love every minute of it. ;) Dramall! That's cute! How did they come about that name? I am MeeMaw to mine. *G* Dh is GrandPa. It's so nice that your Dessie and Cameron live so close and can grow up together. They will enjoy one another so much. Dancey

She is a BIG girl! We had the same problem with our granddaughter at her birth. Emergency c-sections are very scary, that's for sure. Glad all is well.

Being Grandma is undescribeable!
What's her middle name? Just curious.

From a Nana who has another Madison (Paige), whose cord was also around her neck.
