and I can't be the first person to have noticed this--
is that thereafter you have it."

My baby had a baby! (I'll let her post the particulars when she gets her bearings. Everything went well.) So now Dee and I have 26 direct descendants. Having had seven of them myself, I have to say it's much less labor to have them born in a different state. I can't wait to fall asleep with him cuddled on my chest. There is nothing sweeter.

Yippee! I love holding sleeping babies. I always borrow babies at church.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you will be the one doing all the holding and cuddling! Send lots of extra kisses from us all.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have another sweet baby to cuddle!
ReplyDeleteYay! I knew it! I'm a reader of her blog and I knew someone had to have the info. :D

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying so hard not to be envious of that sweet new baby who can fall asleep on your chest!! You are right, there is NOTHING sweeter!!

I just peeked at Marta's blog and saw the most beautiful baby ever! So gorgeous - a perfect newborn. I think he looks like you. You must be proudly beaming from ear to ear. Congrats!

ReplyDeleteNothing sweeter....absolutely nothing....Congratulations Marty....and congrats to everyone. Hugs and kisses all around.... ~Joy
ReplyDeleteMy daugher in law Martha Griffiths (...one of your Blogapaloooze friends) just had her cute baby girl and I was invited to attend the delivery. I never get tired of the whole thing. What an amazing event. Such a miracle!
ReplyDeleteI will say however... glad it's not me doing the pushing... leave that to the younger gals. It's great to be on this end and just be a Nana. I love every minute of being a grandparent. My kids have said, "Did you love us as much as you do the grandkids?" My reply... "Well....."
