This morning at 9:13 am my daughter Erica gave birth to my first granddaughter, Blakely. She weighed 7 pounds even and was 19 inches long. All the expected body parts were properly positioned and attached, and mother and father are resting comfortably. This afternoon she will be introduced to her big brother Parker. He's nearly 3, but going on 12 to hear him tell it. It's going to be interesting to see how he takes to this new interloper on his territory.
To me all newborns look pretty much the same. I will say her color was exceptionally good, if that means anything. Everyone said she looks just like her big brother, but I'm going to have to wait a few days and she how she fills out before I make that call. I just can't see it yet.
I've been up since 3 am. I need a nap. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

ReplyDeleteCONGRATS grandpa!
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling when you didn't post this morning at your regular time that something might be up and that today was the day. I couldn't be happier for you. Soon, this little princess will have Grandpa wrapped around her tiny thumb. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah!
ReplyDeleteHer brother will not be happy, but I bet he won't let anyone else treat her badly!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Grandpa!!
