Wow even in the middle of life's difficult momements we have received a wonderful little blessing of good!!! Last night at 11:51pm our Grandson, Gavin, was born. He is our first grandchild and he is the most beautiful little thing there is. I promise not to gush too much, but I am so grateful to have been able to see this little guy during his first few hours and I am so proud of my son and daughter-in-law.

My daughter-in-law is doing great, she emerged from 18 hours of labor looking as fresh as a daisy. That means mother and baby are doing great!

For this post I will sign out as
Granny Jannie!!! (Oh does that sound great, so does Grandma or anything else Gavin would choose to call me)

    YOU GO GRANNY!!
    That is awesome! Congratulations to all involved. Babies are the best blessing that God can give us.

    You have earned the right to gush!

    peace, emily

    ps. my mom is "Granny" too and she loves it and my dad is "Grandpapa" which we shortened to GP after my littlest was born--it was a mouthful for such a little girl.

    Awesome
    That is just wonderful news. Congratulations Grandma. Yes, you have to post some pictures when they become available. We have 10 grandkids, but my first bio granddaughter to arrive late December or early January. It's exciting being a grandparent. You get to spoil them and send them home :) Once again congratulations

    SO Wonderful
    Congrats to you and your Son and Daughter inlaw, I am currently awaiting my first grandson as we speak. My daughter is over due so the little guy can come at any time. Her Doc will induce her if little john does not come out by friday. I am so happy for you!

    Hi, Granny!
    That's wonderful! There is NOTHING on earth as sweet as a grandchild. We have 3 now, each wonderfully precious, but I will never forget that awestruck moment when our first arrived (that's him in the picture with me).

    I'm glad everyone's doing great, and it'll be fun to find out what Gavin calls you. My grandchildren call me Nanny,and it's my favorite name.

    *hugs*
