Just about to be a great grandfather first time

Well, I'm told she is down to the nitty gritty part of making a baby. She had a loooog night last night but according to my daughter finally had to gave up early this morning, things have started up again as of this writing.

A little girl is expected ( man has ultra sound improved) and we would be very surprised if it wasn't a girl. An update later tonight, hopefully no film though someone probably is doing that also , things sure are different from when I was responsible for making babies. I thank God that I was born a male......Tedd

Congrats Tedd. I have three of them, two boys and a girl. They are 9, 12 and 13. I love all three of them. They are very special. I hope all goes well for your daughter and the baby as I am sure it will.

Now I have come back to edit this since I realized you said Great Grandchild. I will not have any for several years. Mine mentioned above are grandchildren.

Congratulations, Tedd!
That's fantastic!
My only grandchild, Lucy, just turned eleven. For me, THAT's amazing.
I can't imagine her as an adult having my great grandchild.
I can't imagine how it feels to be a great grandpa.
Fantastic!

Pardon my oversight Tedd. I just realized you said Great Grandfather. I am old enough to be one but that will be several years (I hope). Again, double congrats.

So Tedd, let us get this right. The other day you were talking about helping your father with the battery on his F-150. This will make him a great great grandfather?

Wow! Congratulations to all of you!!

Yep Pops will be a great great grand pa, he is 88. As Of 8:30 California time we still have no baby. My grand daughter is very very tired and if something doesn't happen soon they may have to go to option #2. Update in the morning....Tedd

Great grand father? Man, some of you guys are old farts!

Joking aside, I hope it all goes smoothly. I'd be tired too! Congratulations.

They say that if you pinch off their nose and blow real hard through the mouth you can change... oh never mind, congrats Ted and family. Glad all turned out well and everyone is healthy.
