My son and daughter-in-law had their first child, a baby boy, at 1349 DST.
Mother and child both doing fine, they hadn't even weighed or measured my new grandson yet.
Baby Anthony was born on my grandfather's birthday, December 19, which made my own father very, very happy.
My parents now have eighteen great-grandchildren, and my mother is now all puffed-up with pride.

I think he was just relieved all went well.

After he grows up, I will make sure he hears the tales of all those that would hate him because of part of his heritage.

Grandson Jack (now 11) 'named' me that as soon as he could talk.
So that's what granddaughter Charlotte (6) calls me too.
Miz t. is 'Gigi'.
Also named by Jack.
Go figure.
