We weren't expecting it this soon as she was six weeks early but I have a grandson now. Having two daughters with no interest in my collection, I now have someone to share it with. Hopefully, he'll develop a love of history like I have.
6 lbs, 1 oz, 18 inches long. He'll be in the hospital for a while and we can't see him yet but it's still very exciting.
Good size for 6 weeks early. Congrats!
Congarts god bless them both
Wonderful news on your new grandson, warm congratulations to all your family.
I hope he got that gene. I know you will provide the history lessons he will likely not be taught in todays schools.Quote:

He is off the high level oxygen and they are feeding him her milk now so things are progressing nicely. He is pretty big for a premie. He looks like a full term baby. We could see him through a window from a distance the day he was born.
Congratulations my friend ! Grandchildren change a man, for the better. Your really going to enjoy this phase of your life, the little one is here for you to spoil and teach, spend every moment you can with him. All the best.
Congrats and i hope mum and bub are doing well.

Congrads-- I have two twin grandsons and a grand daughter. This year I plan to start to get them involved in learning to shoot, properly handle and respect firearms. I am going to buy a small Cricket bolt action rifle to teach them. If they are still interested later I will upgrade to a Henry lever action .22LR for each.
Congratulations!!!
He'll be your best pal, bet on it!
Congrats...join the club...

I did get to see him today in his incubator. He was sleeping but did open his eyes very briefly when I had my phones camera off. My wife and I could only go in one at a time and we had to scrub in for 3 minutes even though we weren't touching him. I thought they would make us wear masks but they didn't. He was all wrapped up so we could only see his head and face. Hard to remember them being so small. Both my daughters were a bit bigger, but not by much. Still no word on when he will go home and my daughter seems very content with that. She's very protective and wants to make sure he is OK before taking him out. I can get that, they have good insurance.
Xmas not here yet but Grandpa is buying already
Congats to all, good move making sure bub's A O K prior to leaving.
Now remember at xmas you only at this stage need an xmas stocking for the presents later on you can progress to the xmas sack a wool bale is the perfect size when they get older...........:thup:

remember the flu season is here be careful.
My Grandson got to go home last Thursday. We stayed away due to me not feeling 100%. I got to hold him for the first time yesterday. Not many moments in my life better than that. He is doing well. Made steady progress in the hospital and has gained five ounces since he came home. He slept the entire time we visited yesterday.

You forget how small they are my numptie is a 19 y/o now & 6' 5" with size 14 boots luckily old age and treachery will always beat youth & skill.........heres a pic from ANZAC Day 3 years ago he's a whole lot bigger now. Best part of being a Grandparent is when they are crying you can hand them back.
Looking good Aragorn...:thup:
Very nice baby. And proud Grandpa!
Best wishes to you all from over the pond.
That picture says it all Happy healthy
