tk13Please allow me to brag---I'm a Grand dad!
Our first grandchild was born to our daughter-in-law at 3:18 this morning. Madelyn Rose (Maddie) came in at 7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long.
My wife was in the delivery room and got to cut the cord. Both our son and DIL are active duty Navy, and our son was not able to be present for the birth because he is currently in OCS. Fortunately, he was at least able to Facetime during the delivery.
We are extremely proud of both of them for the way they handled the separation during these difficult times. Our son feels bad, not because he missed seeing the birth in person but because he was not able to be there to support his wife during the last stages of a difficult pregnancy.

Dallas239Welcome to the world Maddie! She's a beautiful baby, and it sounds like you have a lot to be proud of.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989
