First Post on New Blog!!!

Mary Gibson Greene was born on her due date; Tuesday September 16, 2008 at 4:53 a.m. She was 20 1/2 inches long, weighing 7 lbs. 2 ounces with a head full of dark hair, and ready to embrace the world! And she was delighted to know that her southern charm sparkled through with her double name: Mary Gibson.

On Monday night about 9:00 Katy started having contraction pains, yet we thought they were painful "Braxton Hicks" contractions. (i.e. false labor) But at 12:30 that night we suddenly knew they were for real. We quickly packed bags, loaded up the car, and brought Grayson with us. The full-moon night is not only known to bring mothers into labor, but it also enables deer to feed during the night. So after dodging two deer on the country road, with hazard lights flashing, we dropped off Grayson at his grandmother's house and arrived at the hospital at 2:30. We soon realized that it would not be much longer, for the baby was quickly coming into position. At 4:45 Katy began pushing. She pushed twice. And Mary Gibson came at 4:53 a.m.























This is Mary Gibson's 1st week home.
