OT Our first grandson was born on Sunday

12 years ago

Elijah Greyson was born at 1:06 AM on March 18. He weighs 6 lbs. 15 oz. and is 19.5 inches long. He has long eyelashes like his dad and a little bit of dark hair. He is so tiny and precious.

We are two very happy grandparents!

OT: back from visiting grandson
Q

He does look big, doesn't he? But he was only 7# 2oz. when we went to the doc that week. I think he just has a very round head (like his daddy). Plano's fine, easy to get around in. I've lived on and off in the Dallas area over the years so I know my way. Did alot of grocery shopping and cooking to feed the mommy and daddy. And you're right, I am WAY too young to be a grammy (but Kohls gives me a senior discount as of the last birthday so I guess I'm not). Sigh.

Oh Lords Kyle! LoL That's so funny, I couldn't help but laugh aloud on that. :) He's a butterball like my eldest! :P A cutie! Hope she is doing better, I never had one of those epidurals, refused to cuz I was scared of having anything stuck in my spine! Tell her to take it very VERY easy and not lift anything heavier than that baby. Keep us up to date Kyle. :) ~Tina

Hi everyone! Thank you all for the warm welcome to our little Levi. He is such a sweetie! Plantmaven, that is amazing that your first grandson and my first grandson share the same birthday, only different years.They grow up so fast, don't they. I sure miss chatting with you all. Have not been able to do much gardening at all,lately. I did trim a few old faded rose blooms off the bushes today, and did a little tidying of the garden here and there. Am hoping for a nice fall flush of rose blooms, before the cold weather sets in. Will check in when able for a nice chat and cup of tea, on Tea Time Thursdays. And will continue to read your posts from time to time, to see what you are all up to here at the cottage. Wishing you all a healthy and bountiful fall season! XO Becky

dedtired, Maison is pronounced like Mason. I don't know why the kids decided to put the i in there and I'm sure that it will be a pain in the future when people can not or will not seem to spell it right. I named my oldest Jaime instead of using the spelling Jamie and she still has problems getting people to spell it right. It took years for her own grandparents to remember it right :-) Also, she's had times when she WROTE her name on a form, and whoever transcribed the form to typewritten text CHANGED it to Jamie, as if she didn't know how to spell her own name!!! Anyway, Maison is a sweetheart and I think you are right that he will be a dog lover! How can he help it?

Welcome to the Grandma's club and congratulations. That is a beautiful name. My g'grandfather's name was Elijah and it thrills me to see the classic traditional names coming back. He picked just a beautiful time of year to be born. With you as a grandmother he will have no shortage of beautiful buntings in which to snuggle under.

What a blessing for you and your family! Being grandchildless myself, I must admit I'm always a little envious of others. I hope he is close by so you can have a close relationship as he grows.

Congratz Linda, You will have fun being a gramma. I love how he is looking at you in the pic on FB. He looks like he's already bonded with you and ready to spend some cuddle and snuggle time with his gramma.

Congrats, Linda!

Hope you have many, many wonderful years watching him grow and learn. The thing I enjoy most is hearing a baby's laughter! That won't happen for a while, of course...but when it does, it will be contagious!

Thank you everyone! They came home from the hospital today and we went to see them again. We have been staying with DD in Columbus and driving to Dayton to see DS and family. It's closer than going all the way home. I wish my kids lived closer to us. They want us to move closer to them but I'm not ready for that yet.

Congrats, and I love that name, too. It wasn't until my first grandchild was born that I fully understood and appreciated that great link to our ancestral roots and hopes for our future descendants. I guess when I became a parent myself I was too busy with it all to really think about it.
