Heeeeeere's Jacky!!

Our grandson is here! Jack Gordon Busch was introduced to his anxiously waiting family on March 16, weighing in at 9 lb. 14 oz.! To say that we are happy, relieved, thrilled, and proud (the good proud) is to be a tremendous understatement!

Jewel and Steve are adjusting to parenthood...aka...existing without sleep!! It's a new experience for all of them!!

What a ride!!

Four Generations

Jack, Jewel and Steve plus all the happy aunts and uncles: (Back row) Katie, Cody (NaElle's boyfriend), NaElle, Noah, Daliah, Jack (the main event!), Jewel, Steve, Danica, Jayze, (Front row) Molly, Levi, McKay, Abe, Shiloh

Sweet new family

New Nana

Baby on the way... SLOWLY...oh, dear...

This is Jewel, helping my mom learn more about posting on her blog...since my labor is in "resting" stage right now (which is code for taking FOREVER), we're coming up with things to do. Like blogging. So we're making this a family affair.

For more details on my labor, you can check out my blog here.

Sigh. We'll continue to keep you posted!

Baby on the way?

We were in the middle of scriptures yesterday morning and the phone rang. We all froze for just a second and then started hustling around, “Where’s the phone! Where’s the phone!” and yep, sure enough, it was Jewel. I breathlessly said, “Hi Jewel! What’s going on?” like I didn’t know! And she said, “Oh, we just wanted to say hi.” For just a second my gullibility stepped in and I believed her and then I thought, “Oh, they are playing an early April Fool’s joke on me just to get my adrenalin going!” Then I thought, “They wouldn’t do that! Not to me!” But then I remembered Dad and I doing that to my family on April Fool’s Day when I was pregnant with Jewel, so who knows! (It’s amazing how fast your brain can go through so many thoughts in a split second!) But then she told me she was just kidding. She did feel like labor might have started and described what’s going on with her body. It sounded like it could be the real thing, but you never know!
