Grandson Number 1

Baby Boy James, 12 hours old.

 Well, it took a while but my first grandbaby has arrived. Lila was due a week ago Friday. Baby showed no sign of appearing, so she was admitted to the hospital this past Friday for induction. They put her on pitocin Saturday and still no baby, so they turned it off Saturday night so everyone could get some sleep. Sunday morning they started all over again and MANY hours later, baby boy James arrived. He is absolutely perfect, of course. Mom and Dad are exhausted, but doing well. 

All tired out after working hard all weekend.

In case you haven't been paying attention, both grandbabies will be named "James." This particular James doesn't have a middle name yet. The parents will decide on that later today or tomorrow. This was fun. I get to do it again in about 3 weeks. As a grandmother I get all the joy and none of the pain. According to Malcolm, who has carefully examined his astrology chart, this guy will be quite the ladies man. Well, we'll see about that...but he sure has captured my heart.
