This morning at 6:37 mountain time, my youngest son

[LaurenG]

and his SO welcomed a 5 lb 14 oz baby boy into the world. I am so happy for them. I haven't seen the newbie yet(being so far away) but I've been told by reliable sources that he is adorable.

The parents are: animal loving, pro choice, organic supporting, bleeding heart liberals. This child, as a fetus attended several anti war rallies and a System of a down concert. I feel there is a good possibility he will choose his party affiliation wisely, lol. I am very, very happy that all is well and as soon as I get some pictures I will share.

[Katherine Brengle]

29. YaY! My daughter went on the Superman ride at 6 Flags as a fetus, lol.

I had no idea that I was pregnant at the time, but it all worked out for the best, so now she's quite the little daredevil lol.

Congrats on the commiepinkolattedrinkingmohaircardiganwearingwindsurfingelitest grandbaby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LaurenG]

35. Oh lol

I am sure the commiepinkolattedrinkingmohaircardiganwearingwindsurfingelitest grandbaby will laugh at this when he's older. Thank you!!

[SeattleGirl]

36. Congratulations!

And many blessings upon the new addition to your family!

[LaurenG]

38. Thank you seattlegirl

I appreciate your kind words. These kids just grow up and get lives of their own and it's amazing to watch because in your heart they are still our babies.:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

39. That is so true! My "baby" is getting married next March

I'm most happy about it, but still, she's my baby!

:hug:

[LaurenG]

43. I knew , you knew what I was talking about!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

44. 'deed, I do!

If she ever has children, I wonder how I'll react. Actually, I think I'll react just fine. The older of my two brothers (who is 4 years my junior) became a grandfather a little over a year ago, and I confess to having a bit of envy about that!

[I Have A Dream]

45. Congratulations, OhioBlues!!! I hope that you get to see him...

very soon!

:hug:

[LaurenG]

49. Thank you I have a dream

We are planning to go down in six weeks. I would like to go right now just to hug him. I have so much to tell him about and only wish he could tell me a few things as well. lol :hug:

[I Have A Dream]

53. Yeah, he has a lot of knowledge that he still remembers.

If only we could converse with babies, I'm sure that we'd learn quite a bit. :)

I'm sure that you can't wait to get your hands on him!

[blondeatlast]

46. Wonderful! I'm the product of yeller dogs and can tell you

it's both nature and nurture!

Congrtulation! :toast:

[LaurenG]

50. Thank you!

I can only hope that son and SO will want to visit us as often as possible so I can help nurture. :hi:

[Tsiyu]

47. D'ya hear that sound?

That's the sound of me pouting.

No grandbabies yet :(

But congrats on yours anyway. I'll hide my jealousy and offer a toast to new life and hope and happiness and health :toast:

[LaurenG]

52. Thank you for the kind sentiment

and may you be the grandparent of a newbie soon!:toast:

[UrbScotty]

48. I look forward to his vote in 2024!

Meanwhile, don't be surprised if his cry sounds like "YEARGH!" instead of "WAAAAH."

[LaurenG]

51. lol Is that the sound of a Deaniac? I would be proud

to hear that out of him.:thumbsup:

[UrbScotty]

55. Yep

;-)

[Bzzzz]

54. Congrats!!!

I just left lovin' on 2 of my very own grandchildren...nothin' like'em. :)

[LaurenG]

58. Thank you

I am really excited and I just can't wait to at least get a picture. The other grandma (her mom) is there for a week and she tells me they are all doing very well.

[bearfan454]

56. Congrats !

You'll love being a grandparent. It's really neat.

[LaurenG]

59. Is this is where we get to play with and have fun with and love

without worry over doing it right. :)

[Dangerously Amused]

57. WELCOME sweet baby Robert!

So happy you are here. Best wishes for every good thing to come your way in life.

Much love from your animal loving, pro choice, organic supporting, bleeding heart liberal auntie,

DA
