Bev, congratulations to you and your family. We became first time grandparents last January, and it is fun (and tiring). My older son gave my wife a plaque which says-When a New Baby is Born, So is a Grandmother. May you have a long and loving relationship with the new grandbaby.

O/T A new life!
Re: O/T A new life!
Went in for surgery for a cyst on my bladder, and they found colon cancer growing on the outside of the colon. Got to have two surgeries at the same time! Stage 3, one node involved.
Re: O/T A new life!
Bev - thank you for sharing this beautiful news with us. As the grandmother to four spectacular granddaughters, I send my sincere congratulations. What joy awaits your family!
