Open Mike is a Granny

My first grandson came into the world last night shortly after midnight, at 12:21 on 11-08-08. Well, he has been in this world
for 9 months, but now he is in the world of air and light.
He weighed 6# 4 oz. and it was quite an easy birth.
The event at their home was attended by a midwife
and her helper as well as Daddy, Aunt and Grandma.
He was born in a water tub and is a welcomed addition to our family. (no info yet on name)

Congrats to all involved on this blessed event. He comes into a family of great character, perserverance, and determination, if his Granny is any example.

All the best,

Mick

Whoopee DOO! You are in for a ride! Blessings on all! Our new one will arrive sometime in late February. At this point his name is Evan Lorcan. Subject to change.

Howsomever, won't THAT add to the Sorcha/Sorcha Dorcha/Lorcan Confusion? LOL

Congratulations are in order all round - especially to your Grandson for choosing such a great family be born into. Of course you realise that one of the best things about being a Grandma is that you can hand them back when they are sicky, dirty, sticky etc.

Love and hugs

Wonderful news! The family is growing--how is the house and property at Granny's place coming along, so by the time this guy is toddling he has a yard to explore?

how wonderful!

sandra's rule for holding babies - Hold baby so it's head is supported. If baby makes a noise or does anything in it's nappy (diaper) hand it back to it's parents!

Tho this rule probably does not apply to grandparents, who really don't want to let their baby go!

congratulations to parents, baby & grandmother & other relatives.

Wonderful news! Enjoy! Tig's right - you CAN hand them back! (Grannies can also wilfully undo all the "good work" that mum and dad have done, when they are older).

My second is due in a month, and unlike little Aminola, who lives the other side of the globe, I will actually get to SEE this one! However, ref the earlier remark, they have already booked me to have him/her on 28th Feb, when they are both off to see Metallica.
