Baby
Opposite Ends
I felt like today was in stark contrast from yesterday. I was happy to spend a little time with my new granddaughter. She was so much heavier than last time I held her and seemed to be more sturdy. I held her for quite some time while my daughter in law took advantage of the […]
Working With Baby
My son’s company was very generous with the paternity leave that he was able to use. He took several weeks off and went back to work a couple weeks ago, continuing to work from home. He sent me a picture today of him working at his desk with the baby strapped on. She was sleeping […]
Hobbit Adult
Yesterday my son who moved further east flew in for a visit. It was a surprise to my other son. Their birthdays are 3 days apart and they enjoy spending it together. My older son took a video of him surprising my younger son who was really completely shocked when he saw his brother in […]
Perfect Timing
After Mass this morning, I stopped by my son’s house. I thought I would visit for just a bit, then go about my day. However, when I arrived, my granddaughter was awake and aware. She is 2 months old now. My son was holding her and every now and then she would smile, which is […]
Baby Shopping
Every year, a certain organization holds a gigantic used children’s sale at a local event center. This year, my daughter in law and I decided to go. When I arrived at my son’s house, my daughter in law was feeding the baby. My son said that his new daughter gets very unhappy if she’s not […]

At Mass today, there was a family with a baby a couple pews in front of me. I heard that familiar new baby cry and watched the dad cradle his infant. She was pretty young as she was still trying to gain control over her head. But she looked huge compared to my granddaughter. I […]
More Granddaughters
I received a text this evening from a cousin who included another cousin as well. He shared a photo of his new granddaughter. It turned out that his daughter was also induced on August 10, but she also delivered on that same day. Then my other cousin said that her daughter in law is expecting […]
One Hectic Week
My new granddaughter was born one week ago, and it has been quite a week. There was planning and expectations that went right out the window. I have said many times that everything changes when you have a baby. My son and his wife have been on a roller coaster of emotions which were all […]
Improving
I went back to my son’s house this morning so he could go back to the hospital and be with his family. The dog and I went on a hike first thing before it got too hot outside. We are very much enjoying our time together. She is getting more exercise and so am I. […]
Tiny Jesus
My son and his wife were concerned about their new baby as she seemed to be lethargic and not eating well. After talking with their doctor, they took her to the emergency room. When they arrived this morning, her temperature was down, which meant she could have an infection of some kind. They are keeping […]
