My first biological grandchild is imminent.

Daughter in law and son are in the delivery room as I type this.
I am really excited!
She has two daughters, 14 and 12, who are already granddaughters of our hearts but we didn’t get to know them as babies.
A baby for Christmas!
Already in love!

My own daughter is scheduled to deliver via Cesarian on December 31. Counting the hours. It will be my 3rd grandchild. This one will be a "last chance" invitro so we are nervous.

I hope your DIL has an easier time of it than mine did. My DIL and son called me to say they were on their way to the hospital and 51 hours later my granddaughter was born.

She was worth the wait.

We are all in love with our 6 and a half pound girl. They haven't officially named her yet. So happy!
