It was going to be a busy two weeks as I was going to take Abby and Michael to the Zoo in St. Paul, there was a baby shower for Kristy, we had a Kane family picnic planned and we also had friends that we wanted to see while we were in town!!!!!!
John and I did get to lunch with our friends, John Scholl along with Terry Marsh and wife Susan in Buffalo, MN. It is always fun to be with our airline friends and talk about the "good old days of flying".
Kristy came over to our RV for dinner as Keeth was off flying out of Atlanta. He is based there with the airlines. Kristy was fine and we were talking about the baby, the shower on Saturday and if they had all that they needed and were ready for the big day next month... they still needed to put up the crib and had yet to receive the dresser but the room had been painted and they had somethings ready. The next day Keeth called to let us know that after work that day Kristy had gone to the hospital as she was feeling a little strange and just wanted to be checked out
. Well, they put her in the hospital. Keeth was still in Atlanta and was very anxious to make it back to MN in time for the birth. He was not able to get a flight out until the next morning. Kristy was fine and she had several of her friends with her for the night so we left to get some sleep. We picked up Keeth at 7am on Friday morning and we were off to the hosptial. Well, he was in time as our little Emery Verdene Badger did not arrive until 11:02am on Friday, Sept 11, weighing in at 4 pounds 2 ounces and 18 inches long. She was small by doing very well! They did take her up to the NICU and had her in an incubator to keep her warm and make sure the breathing was okay
