My new GrandDaughter

[Hawgwild]

I've been busy the last couple of weeks. First, a family reunion to Texas from Oct. 9-12, then a new Grand-daughter on the 13th. My first, so please excuse my exuberance. Her name is Isabella Grace, she was born on October 13th, at 4:06 A.M. and weighed 6lbs. and 3.7oz. I have included some pics.( But of course)

1.Minutes old. The nurse let me in to take pictures, but I was not allowed to use flash.



2. Getting weighed, and not too happy about it.



3. Helping the nurse.



4. Getting her first diaper.



5. Dr. Todd Stalnaker, friend of the family as well as a great OBGYN.



6. Isabella, two days old.



7. In her car seat, leaving the hospital.



8. Another..



9. Mother and daughter at home at last!



10. Yours truly, with baby in arms. It really was quite warm outdoors, but at 4:00 AM that hospital was like a meat locker, hence the jacket.



Sorry for such a long post with many pictures, but for you guys out there, if/when you become a Grandpa for the fitst time you will be the same way, I promise. I feel as though my life has just changed in a major way, and I couldn't be happier. Christmas came early this year!

Thanks for looking, Robert

A great set of photos showing the beginning of life for your daughter. Its something most babies go through but few get recorded as well. You actually have the birth weight on the first scale she ever put weight on. A good set and an example for anyone thinking of doing the same. By the way, congratulations. Now the long road ahead which will be, hopefully, a pleasant journey.

Thank you, Bynx, for your kind words and wishes. Actually, the nurse thought my son and daughter-in-law hired me to take the pics. Duh.. At that time of the morning I was wired on coffee and had not slept in 24 hours, it was an experience.
