I know the focus of this board is on care giving and for the most part seniors, but I wanted to share some good news.
Last night I became a Granny. Rayne is a healthy 3 pound 13 oz one month early baby boy. Each of my parents was thrilled to get phone calls telling them they are now Great Grandparents. Amazingly this little one has 3 great grandparents by blood and three by marriage.
It's always nice to hear good news. Congrats!! What a blessing.

I was back to the hospital today. They are in a city an hour away.
Rayne will stay in the NICU until at least Friday. He still need help regulating his body temperature and is on an IV. He has successfully nursed and his blood sugar levels are increasing.
The doctors are doing some test to find out what happened in the womb. He is very small for dates and his placenta was smaller than expected too.
My son had him on his naked chest for a while this afternoon. It is great that they allow dads to participate in the care in a hands on manner. It was funny though, the nurse did not think he would know how to change a diaper. His siblings are 10 and 12 years younger than him, he has changed a diaper or two.
I got to hold him today. It is just so tiny, but perfectly formed.
Congratulations on the birth of your grand baby!
Funny thing about caregiving....life goes on without us and we can still be blessed with new life.
You will be a happy grandma!
