My daughter in law has Lupus and was to have a "C Section" this Friday a month before natural term. Got a text this morning from my son saying they moved it up due to concerns with the virus filling up the hospitals. Baby girl arrived today healthy at 5lbs 8ozs. Very healthy and looking good. The hospital will not let visitors beside my son in. It is a relief, can't wait till they can come home and get away from the hospital. Now I have 2 grandkids, one from each of my older adult offspring. (calling the children of kids just doesn't sound right as they are each in their 40's)This message has been edited.

There is nothing better in life than to have a new granddaughter. Mine is 7 now but I will never forget the time when she looked at me, smiled and yelled out "Gampa".
She is and forever will be the apple of my eye.

They will always be your children.
My Mom often referred to us as her kids, even though we siblings are all in our sixties.

I'm about a month behind you for my first... My wife and my daughter are both a little freaked out due to the current situation.
