Praise the Lord - We now have our third granddaughter! Leonard and Victoria Costa had their second daughter, Kimber Layne, on Thursday, August 2, 2012.
Kimber weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 inches long. All of the Simmons grandchildren were born at the Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, Texas. Kate Lynn Costa and Emma LuAnne Meave were also born there. Kimber broke the pattern. She was born in Kaiserslautern, Germany at Landstuhl Army Medical Center. It was very difficult not to go through the doctor visits and hospital stay with Victoria but it was very good to know that she and Leonard were together for the birth of this baby.
Leonard called on the day of her birth and talked for over an hour. He seems to be taking fatherhood very naturally and was very happy about Kimber, even though she wasn't a boy! Victoria was able to go home from the hospital on Saturday and seems to be doing very well although she has her hands full.
Alyssa and I celebrated the next day by going out to lunch and shopping for fabric and patterns. It's time for Gigi and Aunt Sissy to start sewing so we can get good and making things for these little girls!
