I'm a Grandpa!

After 32 hours of labor, my daughter and her husband had a beautiful baby girl today. She weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. and they are both doing great. I'm not sure how to act with this grandparent thing but so far it is great.

Congrats! It gets even better, as you get to enjoy her, spoil her, and then give her back!

Fantastic! Congrats Doug.

Grandchildren are the reward you get for not having killed your kids.

Congrats and welcome to the club. You'll have the most wonderful time of your life spoiling her. We were at my daughters the other day and my grandson had his push toy with the poppers and a long handle and was using it like a jack to lift up his tricycle. Wonder where he learned that????

Congratulations to you and your family!

32 hours is a very long time for a women to be in labor these days. Quite often the Dr. will move things along, rather than have a women suffer so much. She must be one very strong lady!

What blows me away is that often, just a few years later, women are pregnant again !

to expand on the above, there's a reason why some lions eat their young, but they will certainly never celebrate Your Joy today!

Blessings to You and the dynamics of Your NEW Family!!
