Exciting news!

The New Year came in the most exciting way this year! 
On New Year's Day morning, we got a call from my daughter around 7:30am with the news that they (daughter and son-in-law) were heading to the hospital to have our first grandchild! 
What! She wasn't due until the 19th. 
Her water bag broke around 4:30am and contractions were strong and regular. 
OK we wait....
(they live in Austin and we live near Chicago)
A little after 10am, our grandson was born. He is small (5lbs 15 oz) but everyone is doing fine! 
My hubby made them a bedside cradle and we were planning on delivering it the following weekend. So as planned, we headed down for a quick trip. 
We were able to get in some snuggles
and enjoy meeting this new addition to our family. 
He is so precious!
He fits into the little hat that I knitted.
Proud and happy Tante (aunt)
Before heading back home :(  
We will be heading back in February for an extended stay! 
I miss him already 😍

  1. Hi Dawn! Aww, what a little sweetheart. Congrats to all - it looks like everyone is doing well. He looks so darn cute in his little hat. I've got a girlfriend for him - my great-niece was just born on the 4th. She's a chunker though at 9# 5oz. ~smile~ Roseanne
