Grand daughter

Ravenfeeder · Post by **Ravenfeeder** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 2:18 am

Nothing to do with ER, but, what the hell...

Tonight, Tuesday, at 2225 GMT, my daughter gave birth to her first child, a daughter, weighing in at 7lbs 10 oz, a darn sight smaller than she herself weighed in at. She had 25-1/2hr labour to go through.

Both mother, and daughter are doing well - and, I'm going to get pissed as a rat!

Congrats, Raven. But don't get too blitzed ... you might end up babysitting sooner than you think.

Congratulations Ravenfeeder,
Granddaughters are a great gift. I know from experience.

My best to your daughter and granddaughter.

Many congrats to you, mother, baby and of course father.

congrats are in order i believe!

Oh, they won't have me baby sitting - I live in the west coast Scottish highlands, and they live in London. I think it'll probably take the new baby a few weeks to reach "Legends" - she's not getting a rattle to play with just a joystick!

i'm trying to think if that's a bad thing, on one hand ur a log way away from ur family, on the other hand, no babysitting, probably a bad thing, as babysitting can be enjoyable

Ahhhh ... so there's a language barrier, too. (Btw ... that "potty-training" thing ... I think you're getting way ahead of yourself. Again, tho' ... congrats.)

Again, thanks to all for your thoughts and well wishes on a new Vonari killer being born.

LOL, Congrats Raven. I feel much younger now.

Tks Maars. I'm too young to be a grandpaw, I'm only 66.

A granddaughter u got a grandaughter....... Wow...... now I wonder how many ways ur gonna spoil her. Her own x52 at 6 months, her own pheonix with a crew to help her out at 10 months. A military ship so she can defend ur 66 year old bones

and a fleet to drive away potential dates when she hits 98 years of age. Hmmmm I wonder......

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

It's the father I feel sorry for, he's now got a mother in law!

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:26 am

It really depends on the mother in law doesn't it ? LOL

Finally got a pic of the new grand daughter, and her mum. Got to say, I think that motherhood has improved the daughters' looks:
