Congrats,

Thank you all for the warm congrats :biggrin: I actually never thought I was ever going to be a grandmother, but, well, stuff happens. Rebecca is going to be one doted on kid, that's for sure :biggrin:

Congrats to you all :biggrin:

Hey grandma. :biggrin: Congrats. Did you not have another grandchild recenly? Or was that someone else. :smile:

Our daughters have the same name. :smile:

Doug,

No other grandchildren, only have one child and this is her first baby. I've been talking about becoming a grandmother for at least a month, though :biggrin: :razz:

Des and someone else recently had babies, and Danny's going to have a baby soon. Well, Danny himself is not going to give birth, but his SO is due anytime now :biggrin:

Cool that our daughters have the same name :cool:

Glad that I got recognized in there somehow, at least as "someone else" :razz: Sheesh, placenta brain is meant for the MOM's not the GRANDMA's Bev!!! :lol:

Tony,

I've got a great memory, but it's short :eek: :razz: Sorry that I forgot that the "somebody else" was you :redface: Must be grandma-itis :razz:

How is your baby, btw? You getting much sleep???? Any new pics you want to share?

Hmm nothing that I can post right away, sorry :redface: Doing well though, growing lots, very expressive, looking around at his environment with a sense of awe, smiling lots, really seems to enjoy "peek a boo" (hide face behind a blanket, remove blanket and say "Peek a boo!!!!" --> that gets an awesome smile), I stick my tongue out at him, he sticks his tongue out at me. He cluster feeds in the evening but the reward for the fussiness is that when he goes to sleep, he sleeps anywhere from 4 to 6 hours in a stretch at night. Mom is starting to do better too, he was a section birth and there were some serious complication with the recovery. So after a few scares a month ago it is nice to be settling into a new routine, all is well now, and loving every minute of it. :biggrin:

Tony,

I know how to play peek a boo, too :biggrin: Oh, you are a proud papa :cool:

Sorry to hear about the C-section drama for your wife :sad: Glad to hear she is on the mend :smile:

My daughter's labour stopped progressing, so they put her on an oxytocin drip. By the time the nurses had increased the dose to 96 "somethings", her contractions were one right after another. She couldn't keep up and was in tears when they suggested an epidural, which she agreed to immediately. Two hours later, from out in the hallway, I heard Rebecca's first cries :cool: I have goosebumps now just thinking about it :angel:

And to think I gave birth to my daughter at home with the assistance of two wonderful midwives. It was great :cool: Man, I was some kinda hippy back in the day :razz:
