Grandfather - first time

[scaredychicken]

Excited to announce that I am a grandfather now.

On Febr 24/22 in the wee morning hour, my daughter and her husband became parents of a healthy baby boy.
A C-section was required, as 2 days of trying to induce did not go as smoothly as hoped. The medical staff was amazing.

Konrad and I met for the first time on Saturday evening. Awesome

So Thankful and Blessed. just wanted to share.

Congratulations. Enjoy the experience- a lot better than being a sleep deprived parent!
We have 4 grandsons (ages 2-6) - family get togethers are a lot of fun.

Only until you hold him/her in your arms for the first time, and start thinking about teaching the kid to fish, hunt, play ball, drive your tractor, or anything else which you enjoy and want to share with them.

Perhaps, but it is a long time before the kid will appreciate beer.

Congratulations SC. It'll be a fun ride for a lot of years to come. My G-kids are 16 (g-daughter) and 17 (g-son) YOA now. Grandson is trying to get into West Point and the Corps of Engineers.

^This.

Anyone who doesn't get that warm fuzzy feeling around their grandkids just ain't human.

Grandpa is by default
Opa is out (too old)
Papa does not work (already taken, too many issues)

I'm thinking "Pappy" works for me

I had a 3 hr visit with them on Saturday, held the little munchkin for about an hour - it was great

I'll bet that you were smiling like a Cheshire Cat the entire time.

Loved being called "Gwampa" and helping shape their lives and characters. Congrats on a new and exciting adventure.
