It's a boy!!
« on: November 30, 2008, 10:29:26 AM »
We got an early morning call. It was such good news. My son and daughter in law were expecting their first December 2nd. Guess little Rowdy didn't want to wait. They chose not to find out if little baby was a boy or girl, but I knew it was a boy. The mom-to-be said the baby was constantly kicking and was so active---and the docs said the baby was pretty good size.

The baby is named Luke. SR says we definitely need to get a little light saber for him. My son was so excited and proud. We'll go to the hospital to see the little one sometime this afternoon, after they call us and let us know when she'll be moved to a regular room. Can't wait.

We're calling and ordering one of those Vermont teddy bears, the "new baby bear" with a little bib with his name and date of birth. I thought it would be a nice keepsake.

Good idea. I'll be heading to the stores shortly. Need to get a baby card and little gift.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the good wishes.

Congrats again, lol!

We can finally unload some of those "Foxy Grampa" t-shirts that have been sitting around the CC Warehouse now. :-)

Thanks everyone, just returned from the hospital The baby is adorable. My son and his wife are beaming with pride. And they let me sit in the rocker and hold him. He;s such a good little baby, so quiet and sweet. He looks just like my son when he was a baby. Apparently her mom had said that the baby looked just like the mom.  :-)

Excuse me if I have a bunch of typos. I accidentally left my glasses in the hospital room and waiting til my son brings them over here. We didn't want to bother the young parents again and let them have some privacy. So now I'm sitting here blind as a bat.

If you are going to get a baby Christmas ornament get a Hallmark one and start a tradition of buying him one every year.  I have two huge boxes of Hallmark ornaments and I feel it makes my tree look really great.  Everyone who comes over looks at our tree forever to see all the different ornaments.  Some of the Hallmark one's can bet a bit tacky but the majority of them are really neat.  I don't know what the ones this year look like for a Baby's First Christmas, now that I told you to get a Hallmark one they will probably be all ugly.

If this is your first, you will have to be firm with him. Don't let him go running off to get power converters with his friends until his chores are done.

Thanks, we think he's pretty special. He's already a husky little one. Had SR crop me out of the pic, wanted it to be just about little Luke.

Good idea about the Hallmark ornaments. Will go to the Hallmark store soon and get one. Remembered that SR has numerous Starwars ornaments. We'll have to give some to the baby.

We have gotten a tree ornament every year for each of the kids.

The theory is that when they move out they will have a small amount of stuff already for their own Christmas trees.

The Grandparents have kicked in on that too on and off over the years.

That's nice.  I have four or five little ornaments, but nothing to hang them on.

What a beautiful baby!  Congrats to all of you.

The ornament idea is a great one. My kids got them every year....now if they would just take them they would have enough to do most of a tree! :uhsure:
