Grandma Delirium

He’s here y’all! Savanna and Joe’s perfect earth angel.

And I am not kidding about the “perfect” part.

A perfect, absolutely perfect baby boy graced earth on Saturday, June 3, 2023 at 2:22 p.m.

Sweet, precious Charles Ward Garde, 8 lbs. 11 oz. - 21 ¼ inches arrived.

We were stunned that Charlie Garde came out with “I am a perfect baby” written across his tiny forehead.

We assumed he’d be pretty cute, but perfect never crossed our minds.

NO ONE is perfect!

But there he was for all of us to see…preciously made…in God's family's eyes.

Before we knew it, Charlie was laying on Savanna gurgling, breathing, moving, perfectly here.

I can’t speak for all those who were on deck during the birth. But as for me…I will never be the same. Watching precious-perfectness glide onto earth was life-changing.

--Lord have mercy. Y'all bear with me, I know that I have grandma-delirium and that baby Charlie Garde is not perfect. No baby or human is perfect. But, he’s pretty close. Not kidding.

Said the first-time grandma: “My grandson is as close to perfection as any baby has ever come”.

Savanna went into natural labor and though she received the maximum amount of painkillers when it came time to push, she pushed that little baby out in 22 minutes @ 2:22 (the nurse announced those times). (Psst. 22 indeed has significance. Oh my Lord, we were stunned by the numbers.)

Now that sweet Charlie is here, I have been thanking God and praying to God for that precious, little baby.

He is a humbling, sacred gift.

Little Charlie is changing minute by minute, growing right before our eyes.

One thing is for sure: he is utterly in love with his mama and daddy. And, like the rest of us, they thinks he’s pretty cute, too.

Charlie is surrounded by people who fell instantly in love with him. We’re all wondering what we can do for him? How can we protect him?

For now, we lean on prayer, day in and day out, in hopes of healthy growth and for grandma-dilerium to pass.

Thank you for reading!

Love, Shelley

Can you see the perfect fingers and perfect toes. Savanna will share his precious face, publically, when she is ready to.
