Congratulations Gadget, know the feeling.

The only thing wrong with a good holiday in Thailand, is not seeing My new grand Daughter.

At 12:25 am this morning (14/07/2016) after a 14 1/2 hour labour, our first Grandchild (Granddaughter) was born in the presence of her Dad, Dezohn and myself (Opa) :grin

She is a healthy 3.64 kg (7 lb 10 oz) and 50 cm long (19 11/16") with a head circumference 35.5 cm (14")

Mum, Bub and Dad are doing very well.

Looks like the Grandies came through safely too.

Well done to everyone.

You've just lost another bunch of percentage points of your wife's attention, Gary.

Congratulations to all of you.   Grandies are hard work at time, frustrating at times, but always a massive blessing.   :thumb

Congratulations.   It is a great feeling.  I have had two granddaughters join the family this year.  I love knowing that once they start screaming , crapping and crying you can pass them back to their parents😊

Congrats.

My first were twin girls - couldn't tell them apart except one had a mole (birth mark???) on her chest. Now they're 21 and have their own kids.
