The little tax deduction arrived 12/29/04 with time to spare!

[Guest guest]

Mom had her first contraction at about 5:30 am (12/29/04) We got to

the hospital around 7 am. She delivered an 8 lb 13 oz, 21 inch baby

girl at 8:57 a.m. Mom did delivery completely natural (no meds of

any kind). Miss Charlize Rae Diniz is healthy and of course

beautiful. Mom is doing great. They could have come home tonight

at around 11 pm, but would have had to go back to the hospital in

the morning to have the baby hearing tested (standard testing).

They chose to just go ahead and spend the night then come home after

the test tomorrow(Thursday). Better that way. They have a few

hours alone with their new daughter. The Girls Katey and Lexi went

to see their sister at the hospital. Katey was " oh how cute " (she's

4) Lexi was like...if I don't look at her it will go away!...lol

(she's 2).

(a Niece) stayed with Katey and Lexi, which freed me up to be

at the delivery. I am proud to say I have been lucky enough to be

at the birth of all three girls.

Sneaky JJ gave you all the " heads Up " ...isn't it a hoot how fast

news can travel! Wasn't it nice to hear from her again!
